We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Remote Support and LogMeIn Pro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"This is a very secure product."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"User interface."
"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something."
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location."
"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"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 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."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."
"As far as the usability of it, I'd like to see if printing could be enabled in the basic version or the medium version. Some of the remote printing isn't available unless you go to the premium versions, and that's disappointing."
"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
