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

"There is no reason to look at any other tools because it comes with everything that you could possibly need and protects organizations from any breaches."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely."
"We have seen a return on investment with BeyondTrust Remote Support as we are able to support our clients and users globally."
"Session monitoring is valuable for users to record whatever actions administrators perform within the system, so management can easily understand the working level and ensure that no suspicious activities occur."
"The solution is stable."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"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."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"I'd like to see remote support and privileged remote access built into the same product."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"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."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved."
"The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"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."
"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."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
 

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 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 cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"This product provides value for money."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"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."
