Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"We have a service offering called Remote Support; we can't deliver it without this tool, and the tool costs $10,000 while we make $100,000, so it's a pretty good ROI."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support positively impacts our organization by making it easy to manage servers efficiently; prior to BeyondTrust Remote Support, granting access was manual and insecure, but now I can provide limited access based on groups, enhancing security for our employees and protecting against external threats."
"Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great; it is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"It's very secure, and it works very well."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"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."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
 

Cons

"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"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."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"The representative client can be a little buggy sometimes, but overall it works consistently."
"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."
"I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"Deploying Bastion isn't as straightforward."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
