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

"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Before Bomgar, we spent 80% of the time running from building to building and to the campus installing the software, also training employees."
"Since using BeyondTrust Remote Support, it is very productive because we can let people join our link and we can help them in a much more efficient way than having them work on a call."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"Previously, we tried LogMeIn and we tried TeamViewer as well, and BeyondTrust had much better auditing capabilities and was putting a lot of effort into ensuring that the solution is secure enough."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"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."
 

Cons

"I rate it an eight because of the licensing issue. I know it is expensive, and if we have multiple support people on a shift, we have to log out to release the license."
"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."
"I would like to be able to transfer files between sessions."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"I'd like to see some kind of voice communication feature. During a session, communication is on chat."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Deploying Bastion isn't as straightforward."
"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 performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"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."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
