Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with.""This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk).""It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us.""The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool.""We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world.""The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency.""We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime.""The solution is stable."

"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.""Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze.""Setup and installation was simple.""Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue.""Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions.""By integrating all our connections previously spread across multiple locations, a lot of time has been saved.""Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it.""With the integrated VPN providers you are able to link the VPN entry directly to the session or entire folders, so you no longer have to configure the VPN manually on the machine."

Cons
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product.""There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance.""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.""Lacks some kind of voice communication option.""​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​.""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.""It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."

"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice.""Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role.""Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software.""On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly.""The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional.""There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things.""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."

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."

  • "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.
