Pros
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow.""The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients.""Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide.""The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either.""We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world.""You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own.""Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console.""Solution has a good UI."

Cons
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console.""I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices.""It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great.""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.""The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago.""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.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."

"It would be better to have the back end more efficient.""We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities.""Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."

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."

    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.


    Venn Software is a powerful platform lauded for its robust features, intuitive UI, and responsive customer support.

However, a few reviews mention occasional performance issues and a steep learning curve, making it challenging for beginners. Based on user reviews, Venn Software provides a reliable solution for businesses seeking advanced functionality, but newcomers may require additional time and support to fully utilize its potential.
