Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"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 support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"It's very low maintenance."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"There is one back-end issue that I am running into at some of locations where I login to provide support, and sometimes port 443 is blocked. That is what it uses to connect. So, I am having to do workarounds to get a session started."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"I was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
