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 is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"I used the solution for my internal environment and it was stable and efficient when connecting with the customer."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting, and notes and videos can be attached for both customers and service partners which is powerful."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"We love the ability to customize our remote support page."
"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 solution's technical support team is helpful."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
 

Cons

"I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user."
"I'd like to see some kind of voice communication feature. During a session, communication is on chat."
"The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved."
"To improve BeyondTrust Remote Support, I think the UI could be less complex for first-time users, and some dashboards need more customization, as experienced users find it easier but new users may struggle."
"The product is pretty well rounded, but there are a few things that could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"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."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
