Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"This is a very secure product."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"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."
"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."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"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 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."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"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."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"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."
"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."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
