Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is a very secure product.""Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide.""Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient.""The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers.""The solution is stable.""We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision.""The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool.""The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."

"The search function is really good. To have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable.""I like the search function up top where if you know what you're searching for, you can find it pretty quickly. Because you've got the option to change what the search parameters are, whether you're searching for a project, quote, ticket, or an invoice, you can kind of pick and choose what you're looking for.""The product has been pretty stable so far.""It handles ticketing pretty well, and it's not something I have many critiques for.""All the features of ConnectWise Manage are valuable. However, ticketing, customer management, customer communication, technician efficiency, calendars, coding, billing, invoicing, and contract management are available. It's a complete solution. Additionally, the company is responsive with the ability to progress or make necessary changes happen.""It's a nice ticketing system.""It's a pretty simple web interface. The rules engine was really easy to set up, and it ingests emails very well.""Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."

Cons
"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.""Technical support for this region can be improved.""In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included.""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.""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.""The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better.""It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together.""The custom reporting needs to be improved.""All other ticket systems can search previous tickets, whether they were homegrown in Oracle or something else. I'm talking about searching the actual contents of the discussions in the ticket. In ConnectWise, you can only search the summaries. It's ridiculous.""Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it.""If you've got 40 tickets that come in, that get generated, that don't get properly tagged with the company, you can't just check them all and reassign them to another company. You have to individually reassign each one of those tickets to a new company.""A lot of times, it'll take a couple of moments for things to go through. If you're not patient about it, it may seem like things aren't working.""The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."

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 →

  • "There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
  • "The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."
  • "We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
  • "The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
  • "I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."

    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.
