Cons
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance.""iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view.""We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM.""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.""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.""Lacks some kind of voice communication option.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments.""There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required.""At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available.""I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running.""The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless.""The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end.""They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on.""The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."

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 →

  • "Good price and works well."
  • "Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
  • "I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
  • "It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
  • "Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
  • "The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
  • "It is priced fairly."
  • "Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."

    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.
