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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"Solution has a good UI."
"The solution is stable."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"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."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
 

Cons

"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved if we were able to remote and troubleshoot iOS products such as iPads."
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"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."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"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."
"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
