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

"I used the solution for my internal environment and it was stable and efficient when connecting with the customer."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a complete and robust remote support solution which offers everything you need."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"Since using BeyondTrust Remote Support, it is very productive because we can let people join our link and we can help them in a much more efficient way than having them work on a call."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"This is a very secure product."
"This is the most stable product on the market."
"With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"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."
"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 have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Technical support is very good; they have their own ticket system that is available for all customers and their system is already in different languages, for example, English, French, and, for us, Russian."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
 

Cons

"BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging."
"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 configuration and permission options are extensive. However, we would appreciate having a search function in the settings."
"The product is pretty well rounded, but there are a few things that could be improved."
"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."
"The licensing is very expensive."
"When we first purchased Bomgar, the support blew me away. Over the last two or three years however, it dropped off."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"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."
"Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting or behavioral analysis limited. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"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 product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"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."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
