We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime.""It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process.""Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere.""It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users.""Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting.""It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues.""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 most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."

"The most valuable features of the Ivanti Service Desk are service requests and incident management.""Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments. There's now a queue of departments waiting to onboard and get their processes built. The flexibility within the workflow is excellent.""The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well.""The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes.""Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable.""It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status.""The tool supports a lot of standard reporting KPIs.""Incident management is a valuable feature."

Cons
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​.""Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""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.""I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices.""The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance.""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.""I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."

"When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process.""The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push.""The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow.""The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users.""Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run.""The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities.""You must be very technical to configure it.""You have limited ability to customize how Ivanti renders. It's a fairly strict design that doesn't offer you much freedom to alter the rigid, two-column layout on the screen. You can choose between one column or two, but that's about it. The presentation is probably the biggest weakness."

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."

    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.


    Deliver outstanding IT support services to employees and customers.
