Has good scalability and provides secure access to the virtual machines

The product improved the security posture of our organization. We don’t have open ports and connect them to servers using it. We can carry out two-factor authentication to protect the devices with conditional access features. It would be nice to have a feature to copy and paste the files into servers. I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Great remote controlling and monitoring features with a competitive price

We use it primarily for remote controlling and monitoring. The solution is patented, especially the endpoint solution. They are providing features that are not currently available in the market We like the auto containment feature. They should integrate email security in the same solution. We…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use...It is modernized, so I can create complex infrastructures."

"Overall, I had a very positive experience."

"The connection to virtual machines is very useful."

"The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent."

"The product's setup is easy."

"The most significant advantage lies in its runbook features, particularly beneficial for our infrastructure team."

"The interface is available in the edit portal."

More Azure Bastion pros

"The management feature is very good. You get a complete and clear view of the employment tool on Linux, Mac, and Windows operating systems (even on mobile). Third-party integration is also possible (e.g., IBM, Apple, etc.)."

"The most valuable features of Comodo RMM are the security antivirus and the ability to use other applications like the PSA and the ticketing system on one dashboard."

"We like the auto containment feature."

Cons

"There is room for improvement with AI features. I would like to see integrated AI features with Azure Bastion, especially for connectivity issues."

"There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice."

"You are charged for retrieving your own data."

"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."

"The solution breaks down sometimes."

"Speaking of AI, having Microsoft Copilot in Azure Bastion would be good."

"The protocol speed could be faster."

"When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited."

More Azure Bastion cons

"They should integrate email security in the same solution."

"The solution needs further integration with other software tools like a CRM and other accounting tools. Not having this integration makes Comodo RMM limited in functionality. Additionally, more network management features would be good to have in the next release."

"Comodo RMM is really, really slow to load, and connecting with most of my clients takes a while."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not save money for us."

"The pricing is a lower decision point than high-quality security for our organization. Better security comes at a cost, but it's worth it, and that's what we tell our customers."

"Azure Bastion's pricing is good."

"The tool is cheaply priced. I would say that the product is free to use."
