The local partners for BeyondTrust Remote Support are not enough in numbers. There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM.

The solution should offer free training modules that focus on integrations for various servers, platforms, and devices. We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM.

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.
It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great. In terms of features, it is a great tool. I don't see any area for improvement. It pretty much provides all the features that you need. I can't think of anything additional. It has everything that you could possibly want.
They currently don't have remote access control to Chromebooks, and I think they should start doing that. In the next release, I would like remote access control to Chrome included. You can see the screen but not control on Chromebooks

There is a gap in the iOS remote support. I know that it's somehow restricted by the architecture of the platform. It might be good to get some more insights on it. There could be some insights into reporting, including better reporting capabilities. That would be helpful as well. iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view. The licensing is very expensive.

I'd like to see some kind of voice communication feature. During a session, communication is on chat. Although we can share a screen, there is sometimes a lag with the chat.

I'd like to see remote support and privileged remote access built into the same product. That's lacking in the solution and means that we need to buy two completely different tools that are 90% similar? The PRA and the remote support are the same product. For some reason they sell them separately and we need both. I don't want to buy two different products.

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. In Apple's case, we're going to have Apple that's restricting that, but it would be nice to be able to remotely control someone's phone so that we could provide greater assistance in troubleshooting.

It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust.

Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand.

It's just a trade-off, not a complaint, that they could never put voice into it. 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. It's no big deal. You have more sessions, you don't really need the voice part of it. It's just a convenience. Other than that, it is a de-facto standard whether you like it or not. It should have more integration with CyberArk. Of course, that's an open-ended statement. The reason being is because Bomgar, or now BeyondTrust, also sells something similar to CyberArk. CyberArkk has the largest market share. It doesn't seem that BeyondTrust will provide any knowledge base or integration for customers to integrate BeyondTrust with CyberArk. But from a partner concern, oftentimes we have customers using CyberArk. They ask us to provide professional services to integrate both. Then we have to work on our own without vendor support.
