Featured Reviews

Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.
Hicham Barnoussi - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Solution has a good UI."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"This is a very secure product."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
"Product management should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
