Secure remote access has transformed global support and simplified cross-platform collaboration
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily. I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online. I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.

Security has improved with monitored privileged sessions but the complex interface still needs work
I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic, but I have no clue about how much it costs. When I say it is not easy to use, I mean the interface is complex, but it might not be directly linked to the product; it might be linked to the way we implemented it in our context. The way we have to connect to a third Bastion and then launch another session bothers me. We also have some limitations, but I think this is linked to our context regarding how many times the session can stay open on the Windows session, which is not aligned with my needs. I am more of a promoter of other kinds of handling privileged access management with my use case, but it might not be linked to the tool; it is just because the implementation we made is not what I expect for my needs and it is not the way I want to work on my servers. In the past, I used the leader in PAM but cannot remember the name. I was more satisfied because the connection was more straightforward: I click on a button, make my authentication, and have my servers open, and this is the way I want it. The UI was the main reason why I thought the previous tool I was using was better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"We like that it records the remote sessions, takes screenshots, and saves those sessions in the cloud, which is important for audit purposes and makes this solution stand out from the rest."
"Having a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere is a good feature."
"We love the security, the flexibility and our end users especially enjoy the security and knowledge that when we are finished with their computer they can validate that the software was removed from their system."
"We love the ability to customize our remote support page."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great; it is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"I would like to be able to transfer files between sessions."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"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."
"When we first purchased Bomgar, the support blew me away. Over the last two or three years however, it dropped off."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"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."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
