Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Hicham Barnoussi - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
 

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."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Product management should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"This product provides value for money."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"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."
