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

"BeyondTrust Remote Support positively impacts our organization by making it easy to manage servers efficiently; prior to BeyondTrust Remote Support, granting access was manual and insecure, but now I can provide limited access based on groups, enhancing security for our employees and protecting against external threats."
"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."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"Remote Support allowed us to centralize that help desk function in one place, eliminating the need for on-site staff and enabling everyone to provide the same level of support from home during COVID without any noticeable difference for the rest of the employees in the company."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"We love the security, the flexibility and our end users especially enjoy the security and knowledge that when we are finished with their computer they can validate that the software was removed from their system."
"We like that it records the remote sessions, takes screenshots, and saves those sessions in the cloud, which is important for audit purposes and makes this solution stand out from the rest."
"Easy access to all my servers from one stop."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"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."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"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 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."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
 

Cons

"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"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 licensing is very expensive."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved because they need to update their UI and they have slow performance metrics on low bandwidth. That is a significant issue and it is very expensive."
"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
