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.

Pros

"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"We love the ability to customize our remote support page."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to reduce travel expenses for our IT technician by at least 50%."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"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 have seen a return on investment with BeyondTrust Remote Support as we are able to support our clients and users globally."
"It's very secure, and it works very well."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"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."

Cons

"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."

"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"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."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"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 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."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
