BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access vs. LogMeIn Resolve

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is well suited to grand monitored privileged access to resources. It works in a proxy mode so end-users don't have direct access to servers. This can help prevent attacks on servers from users' machines since all the traffic to the servers goes through the Privileged Remote Access server which performs auth according to the policies. In cases where direct access to the servers/service from the end-user's machine is required, it is a little bit complicated to set up that kind of connection using protocol tunneling.

LogMeIn Resolve is great for ad-hoc remote support with end users or customers that need on-demand assistance. The unattended support function makes it easy to connect to devices within an organization and provides several options on starting up the session that were not available with previous services. I can log in remotely to my work PC and black out the screen, so any sensitive information remains confidential.

• It would be nice to have a one-click launch capability. There are times when walking through a user who isn't experienced that they have a hard time launching the program.
• A batch file that launches a network connection and the program at the same time.

I would say yes, we would definitely renew, everyone likes it in the IT dept, and there are more features we have yet to put to use. I am expanding the Windows update / Endpoint features as I get time, and the remote PowerShell console is unbeatable for me at present when facing remote computers that are not letting create a new remote PSSession.

It accomplishes all of our remote access needs, our users require little to no training when being setup for remote access for the first time.

Navigation is easy and friendly. It does almost everything, but being cloud, it gets slow. Session recording is allowed. Zoom in and out feature works very well, especially during remote sessions and multiple machine sessions simultaneously. Dual-screen monitors are accessible. East and convenient user interface. The diagnostics feature is outstanding, and it gives detailed diagnostics of the system. So these are the pros that prompt me to provide such ratings.

Usually available without a problem, although sometimes calls get dropped or users sit in empty meeting rooms while waiting for an admin to arrive, while the call is actually going on.

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

Ive used their tech support a handful of times, and each time they have been able to help me sort out any hiccups or kinks that arise. They have a resourceful knowledge base, and have experts available for training and troubleshooting. I often recommend them to my other coworkers and colleagues because of the ease of use and security

GoToAssist SeeIt was very easy to implement. As long as your techs have a basic understanding of most remote support tools they will be able to understand this product easily.

GoTo Resolve is not necessarily an app that I personally chose to use in my organization; this is just one of many that I have interacted with and experienced through the different organizations that I have worked at over the years. However, I will say that I enjoy the engaging colors of GoTo Resolve in comparison to the other competitiors.

• Improve security by improving the management of external remote access
• Help us meet Remote Access Compliance Requirements by creating audit trails, session forensics, and giving access monitoring and reporting data
• Simplify employee access and workflows by giving employees the exact amount of privileged access to systems and applications they need, without hindering productivity or overwhelming the service desk

• GoTo Resolve has dropped our overall expenditures for the GoTo product line by 80%. We were at one point paying for Assist, Webinar, Meeting, and Connect... and were able to drop three and keep the latter with Resolve to meet all of our needs.
• GoTo Resolve would likely have an even greater ROI if we actually utilized many of it's other features, such as the HelpDesk and device management. Being a smaller company, we don't have a need for a ticketing system and things of that nature.
• The reporting feature contains an amazing amount of useful information about the remote sessions conducted.
