BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access vs. NoMachine Enterprise Desktop

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.

If you just want to connect to the server and do work (like Linux server-workstation type), NoMachine Enterprise Desktop is great, except for the keyboard mapping issue, which you have to correct in a setup of the remote server (almost) every time you log on. The graphics are smooth and fast. Overall response speed is very good, too. I like it.

• One way to use it is by using a machine as an access proxy, this machine being Linux, has limitations such as copy and paste and does not allow access to more than one web access.
• Improve the desktop application view.

• Keyboard mapping between client and host is often screwed up.
• Cut and paste between client and host is not convenient
• Would be nice if there was a function of simple file transfer between client and host

The main factor is the ease of implementation and also its use in everyday life.

Again, the NoMachine is a real virtual terminal, and you don't need to install another Linux on your machine to fully exploit the X-terminal function. This makes the disk and memory usage of the client minimum. No issue on the screen. It is really good.

• 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

• It makes the access to server much easier and convenient
• Connection is very stable, which makes works very efficient
• I don't need to reboot my Windows PC to switch to Linux in order to fully exploit the working environment of the server.
• No negative impact
