Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer.""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.""We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful.""This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk).""Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient.""The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers.""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.""It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."

"Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution.""The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access.""This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."

Cons
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer.""It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically.""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.""I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application.""There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance.""It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice.""The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process.""Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition.""The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor.""The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."

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 →

  • "The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
  • "I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."

    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.
