You can connect to a system without end-user interaction.
I would say setting up the cloud version was fairly straightforward. BeyondTrust stood up the application and then handed it over just kind of blank, the company at the time did not want to pay the implementation cost. So integrated it with Azure for single sign on, set up the group policies, I would say it was pretty straightforward. So it was kind of an ongoing. Once we got the initials set up and core administrators that would be using the tool set up with local accounts, it did become a more back burner task. I was able to work on it as I was had free time from other tasks. I would say really getting it to the basic usability point of being able to log in on the tool and to be able to connect and help somebody was within a couple hours and then developing the customizations, client deployment installations via group policy, transitioning from using local accounts to Azure AD accounts. If able to tackle in one sitting, probably would've been a few days, but since it was using more free time from other tasks, it was an ongoing process that took weeks and even into a couple of months to kind of get to a very nice deployment flow where everything was set up and easily usable and easy to onboard somebody else into the tool. Just one person really. Just me.

The Remote Support tool allows techs to link to off-network users, but the knowledge base lacks updated articles.
The ability to control admin rights through AD groups allows the techs to have all of the rights that they would normally without adjustments on the backend of the product. The Internet Sessions with the Remote Support tool also help for field support as well The Internet Sessions with the Remote…

Quotes from Members

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"​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.​"
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
