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 would rate the product ten out of ten."
"Bomgar is an amazing tool which has greatly improved our service desk's ability to support end users."
"This is a very secure product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"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."
"Has helped our Support Teams become 100% more productive and pleases our customer base internally and externally."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"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."
"WALLIX Bastion is a great solution that evolves with new features, unlike competitors like CyberArk."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"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 interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"We have seen a lot of improvement, especially in regard to our forensic investigations."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"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."
"Mobile. Need more inroads into Apple devices."
"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."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"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."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"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

"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."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
