Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups.""The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow.""We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration.""Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere.""Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users.""Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer.""The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module.""This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult.""It is an easy-to-use solution.""Its ITSM approach is quite useful.""Change management is the most critical feature.""When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have.""The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."

Cons
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included.""The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance.""I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices.""Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product.""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.""It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically.""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 would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket.""All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes.""It is time-consuming to add new users.""This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package.""One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information.""The solution's change management could be better.""Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved.""An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."

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 cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
  • "Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
  • "There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
  • "The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
  • "TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."

    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.
