Featured Reviews

Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

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 support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"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."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"Solution has a good UI."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"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 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."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"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."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
 

Cons

"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"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."
"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 product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
 

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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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 cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"​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."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
