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

"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"We have used other solutions, but Bomgar has a superior security architecture compared to the competition and lets us control remote access in a granular manner."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"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."
 

Cons

"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"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."
"Linux support leaves quite a bit to be desired. Ubuntu systems have issues with connectivity."
"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."
"I would like to be able to transfer files between sessions."
"I'd like to see remote support and privileged remote access built into the same product."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"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."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"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 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."
"​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.​"
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
