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

"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"We have not encountered any issues with stability. Updates leave us with less than 30 minutes of downtime."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"The solution is stable."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"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."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
 

Cons

"It is expensive. Its initial setup was also a little bit involved, but it was nothing that we couldn't eventually handle. Currently, it has the ability to share screens. Somebody having an issue with their phone can share their screen with a technician sitting at a computer. It would be nice to also be able to control phones remotely, but this could be a limitation of a phone's operating system."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"I think BeyondTrust Remote Support's installation and upgrades need improvement."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"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."
"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."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"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."
"Deploying Bastion isn't as straightforward."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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 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.​"
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"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."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
