We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers.""One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously.""I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups.""The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial.""Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer.""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.""I personally like the ability to share files with other machines.""We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."

"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster.""The product has the best features for ITSM."

Cons
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion.""Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​""I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console.""Lacks some kind of voice communication option.""There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment.""Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product.""It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically.""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."

"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""There could be flexibility in terms of customization.""I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."

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.
