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

"The solution is stable."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"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."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"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."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"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."
"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 security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"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."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
 

Cons

"BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved if we were able to remote and troubleshoot iOS products such as iPads."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"The representative client can be a little buggy sometimes, but overall it works consistently."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"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 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."
"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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"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."
