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.

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

"Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great; it is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader."
"Before Bomgar, we spent 80% of the time running from building to building and to the campus installing the software, also training employees."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to reduce travel expenses for our IT technician by at least 50%."
"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 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."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"It's very secure, and it works very well."
"My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that for the years I've been working with the BeyondTrust team with multiple customers and environments, they've been consistently offering top-shelf support, whether your environment has 250 users or more than 25,000 users."
"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."
"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."
"I feel WALLIX is better because it's simple, seamless, and easy to integrate."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"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."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"The configuration and permission options are extensive. However, we would appreciate having a search function in the settings."
"I have had maybe one or two problems, but reporting and metrics should be improved, and integration with other applications such as ticket tracking apps should also be improved."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"The licensing is very expensive."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"This product provides value for money."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
