Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console.""It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process.""The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients.""It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users.""This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk).""We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."

"By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved.""Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue.""Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment.""One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more.""Initial setup was very straightforward.""RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another.""Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees).""Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."

Cons
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM.""iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view.""I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""Lacks some kind of voice communication option.""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.""The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on.""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."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week.""Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application.""If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice.""The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional.""Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager.""On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly.""The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server.""Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."

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 →

  • "Setup costs for most people is negligible."
  • "The Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
  • "If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."

    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.
