Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response.""We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world.""This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with.""The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow.""We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration.""It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us.""The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers.""We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."

"Stability-wise, I think it is a very good solution.""What I like best about IBM Security Secret Server is its single-access console. It's also easy to manage and fulfills the requirements with the least resistance.""One of the most valuable features is scalability, and how it allows you to scale it without affecting the underlying core components.""As a PAM solution, Secret Server performs all the use cases in our environment.""The live recording is a very useful feature."

Cons
"It is expensive. Its initial setup was also a little bit involved, but it was nothing that we couldn't eventually handle. Currently, it has the ability to share screens. Somebody having an issue with their phone can share their screen with a technician sitting at a computer. It would be nice to also be able to control phones remotely, but this could be a limitation of a phone's operating system.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust.""The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance.""There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment.""They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM.""Technical support for this region can be improved.""​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"What needs improvement in IBM Security Secret Server is support. The local partner provides good support, but IBM itself doesn't. Most of the time, the IBM support team does not aggressively resolve issues reported through chat or the IBM website.""Secret Server should have the ability to discover privileged accounts in the servers, like the administrator or users, from SQL and Oracle without having to import a script.""The nonclustered index is working in an area with a problem that needs improvement.""It would be preferable if the full proxy was included in the IBM Security Secret Server.""The newer interface is more difficult to use than the previous one, and consequently, new users might need more training."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product provides value for money."
  • "​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
  • "Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
  • "Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
  • "Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
  • "The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
  • "I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
  • "I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
  • More BeyondTrust Remote Support Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I believe that we paid 35,000 or 40,000 US dollars for it."
  • "My rating for the IBM Security Secret Server pricing is seven out of ten. It could be cheaper."
  • "The price could be better. I think it's a good price for the on-premises environment and the high availability for enterprises the solution provides."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by BeyondTrust Remote Support users.

    A Cybersecurity Architect at a tech vendor says, “The most valuable features are the ease of deployment, performance, pre and post-sales support, the vast majority of the localization they have done and the solution provider that they support. You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own.”

    An Enterprise Service Desk Systems Manager at a manufacturing company comments, "Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."

    PeerSpot user Mark B., Sr VP of Business Operations at Networking Technologies and Support, Inc., explains that he thinks the solution is “Great for delivering end-user support, good at recording sessions, and very stable.
