We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration.""The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers.""The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow.""This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with.""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 most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients.""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.""The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."

"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.""The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning.""The solution's technical support team is helpful.""WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN.""Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

Cons
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago.""​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​.""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.""I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console.""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.""There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment.""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.""In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low.""The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions.""Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model.""For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself.""It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time.""The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well.""There could be more automation features for the solution."

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.


    WALLIX offers cybersecurity and privileged access management solutions that secure and protect your most critical IT assets.
