Considered Both Products

Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
TeamViewer was hard for our users to initiate sessions with, and ended up being more costly than Bomgar is.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
We used a VNC product for several years because it was free and we couldn't talk management into purchasing a product. Bomgar offers so much more for our support personnel. We evaluated TeamViewer, which I use for personnel use, along with Bomgar and would have been a product …
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
We previously used TeamViewer but found Bomgar more robust, secure and better suited for reporting and ServiceNow integration.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
We have used TeamViewer and LogMeIn Rescue in the past. Both products offer the abilities to make remote connections, but LogMeIns monitoring capabilities are minimal and TeamViewer is costly for what you get...or more of what you don't get. Also, there have been some weird …
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
BeyondTrust is a more secure option. The external portal a great way to get users started on a remote session.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
When asked to report on how many remote sessions have I done I now can give that information accurately. I use the exit surveys for improvement of service and tracking. I have tried the major players out there and Bomgar stood out above the rest.
And I just like Orange

One thing I like about Dameware is that you have access to a remote command prompt and that has been very handy at times. But Dameware is limited to on the network support, last time I used it. Bomgar can handle multiple platforms and operating systems. I cant email an …
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
  • Bomgar is inherently more secure as it's an appliance within your own security standards.
  • Bomgar is highly configurable compared to the competition. Others can be configured at much higher costs.
  • Bomgar TCO is lower in the long run than SaaS based solutions.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
Bomgar is an appliance installed on your network. No web based remote support, it's completely local. Much better response time and you can manage it all!
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
  • Better implementation
  • Better pricing plan
  • More secure
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
Our previous product was PCAnywhere and it is now end of life.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
I use to combine the software if one wasn't doing it's job or didn't have a particular feature... but Bomgar - ALL IN ONE LOVE IT.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
GoToAssist and TeamViewer - Bomgar was a much easier product to maintain and provided quick and easy access. We also needed something that complied with ISO27001:2013 which means we have to have our support based here onsite and not hosted outside the company.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
Bomgar's look and feel is a lot better. When ever I have had to contact Bomgar for help they have been excellent. This is a big factor for us for if we are unable to support our customers when there is a problem then this has a big effect on our customer service results.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
We used RDP when I first started but you couldn't share the screen with end users and my industry does not allow usernames/passwords to be shared (healthcare), so it wasn't a great fit outside of server management. We moved up to Teamviewer and then LogMeIn/LogMeIn Rescue to do …
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
The products are similar in what they can and cannot do, but where Bomgar really takes the cake is in their security and jump technology. They really stand behind their security and it shows with many medical and governmental agencies using them for remote support. In fact, …
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
I tried TeamViewer and LogMeIn but Bomgar has the most to offer as far features are concerned.
Chose BeyondTrust Remote Support
We have used TeamViewer and a few other proprietary remote support applications. While TeamViewer is a very good tool, the pinned session organization is not as intuitive as Bomgar's, and the user management isn't there for the needs of a support desk like ours. I also feel the …
TeamViewer
Chose TeamViewer
We are still evaluating between the products but so far Teamviewer comes in slightly cheaper due to no requirement for any particular hardware.
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is a great tool with a well-respected name and a foundation of trust with advanced and intermediate users. We used to have BeyondTrust (Bomgar) in our office and it provided equivalent feature sets but had a dated appearance. Performance with both products is …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer had a better performance on the company's use cases, so it was the chosen option.
Chose TeamViewer
Reliability and constant connection was what set it apart. I dont even think it has any direct competitor since none of the other tools I used had the option to leave the software running and maintain a constant connection.
Chose TeamViewer
I use the above-mentioned options when there is a need for connecting on a lower bandwidth internet or if the budget is stringent. Two more good alternatives I use are: AnyDesk and Ammyy Admin which works great. I wonder why these two software packages are not available in the …
Chose TeamViewer
The basic functionality makes it at the top of the list. Without even purchasing an enterprise license this is an out of the box Technology tool!
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer, as currently used is probably the best of the applications I have used, right up there with Bomgar. With Bomgar, we are actually administrating, and we love the back-end features of Bomgar, i.e. I can access the remote servers\workstations on the back-end without …
Chose TeamViewer
I liked that TeamViewer was more flexible than something like Zoom. I also found it to be more reliable than Bomgar (which I had some minor issues with). It is also the easiest of these software to use. However if you only need a software for presentations, I would probably …
Chose TeamViewer
The software was cheap and easy to obtain, configure and support. We have had good experiences with TeamViewer and everyone in our organization who has had experience with it has nothing but positive things to say. The company seems to take security seriously and we have not …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer's mobile app is powerful and consistently makes the connection to my remote desktop. In the past I found other solutions to be inconsistent in availability leaving me with an unexpected "surprise" when I was unable to connect. I find TeamViewer is able to provide …

In our line of work, the ability to provide a seamless and fast forward approach to support is important. It reflects positively on our support staff and teams when we can resolve issues quickly and effectively whether that's on servers, workstations, mobile devices etc. We have found the software to not be as beneficial on Linux Servers.

If someone were to ask me for a recommendation, I would honestly say that it was the best option for me. Many times, my team members, other therapy department consultants, or doctors have encountered a problem with their systems that they are unable to resolve on their own. They just reached out to me and explained their concerns. Once their system is connected to me, I can resolve their situation in a very short amount of time.

Pros
BeyondTrust
  • Remote access for macOS computers. We support primarily businesses that use Macs and good macOS support is very important.
  • Maintains logs and screen sharing videos of all sessions. It's peace of mind for us and also helps meet compliance standards that we can tell exactly what happened, every time we access a machine remotely.
  • Allows for easy management of hundreds of computers in a single app. We support hundreds of computers for dozens of companies. Finding the right computer to access is very easy and able to be done with just a few clicks.

Cons

  • Only issue I really have is the jump client goes to queu when our remote vendors shut down their machine. Works in our favor if we lose our connection but that never happens. And this is such a small issue but had to put something in here.

  • The update Cycle of the Desktop app is sometimes unstable. We downloaded the latest TeamViewer Desktop App from the official site, and it immediately asks us to update.
  • Pricing tier for small teams can be improved.

Bomgar has improved the support we have given as an ICT department and improved the ICT department reputation within the organisation. We have had no issues with Bomgar as a product and it works well. The team at Bomgar are also a pleasure to work with, they follow up with us to see how they can help us use more of the features of the system and really take time to get to know their users and how they use the product.

We need this tool in our day to day business. It is what we do all day remoting into clients devices. In this day and age we can access devices all over the world as long as we have secure internet connection. It certainly saves money in gas, and even if you are away you can help.

Usability
BeyondTrust
RemoteSupport has the most modern-looking interface I have seen. Its number of features, both nice to have and necessary, is better than any other competing solution on the market. They also prioritize security, so you can be confident that only the people you want accessing a given endpoint have access because their security can be configured to be role-based or as granular as you want.

TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast. We don't know any product that provide us such strong functionality to make our life as a internationally recognized MES provider with DIAMES with an international clientele so easy. We look forward for any new TeamViewer functionality that supports us even more.

Reliability and Availability
BeyondTrust
As far as uptime is concerned, Since Bomgar creates the Hardware and Software, they can make it the most reliable box in our datacenter, and they also have options for availability and redundancy that we didn't need to utilize, we have a manual fail-over process that we can invoke, but there are configurations that would allow for an automated failover as well.

Performance
BeyondTrust
There is no lag-time at all, no matter how many users we have on the box, it is always entirely dependant on the customers internet speed (as we have a very fast connection), that is the only issue I've EVER seen with Bomgar, no matter how many sessions we run the box is always up, always fast, always working.

The support team at Bomgar always goes beyond the call of duty. No question seems to little or big for them to handle.

the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.

In-Person Training
BeyondTrust
we didn't have in-person training because their online training was so overwhelmingly well done. Start by looking at the docs: http://www.bomgar.com/docs/content/index.htm if that alone doesn't answer all your questions, there will be a window that pops up asking if you would like to chat with a sales representative, or a support engineer. Either of them can answer all of your questions as easily as if they were standing there with you, or talking to you on the phone, it is truly the power of Bomgar!

As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.

Online Training

Since we have installed and been running Bomgar software for quite some time now, we have taken the opportunity to attend various web trainings, and they are always very prompt, informative and open to questions/discussions. We appreciate the work that Bomgar does to keep their customer community informed of new features and discussions of further product developments.

I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.

When we used Webex our customers often had issues because staff in medical offices don't always have easy access to browse the internet. We could send them an invitation but we would often go round and round with them. With BeyondTrust Remote [Support (Legacy)] we don't have that problem as it allows easy access for these customers.

Scalability
BeyondTrust
Since the Bomgar Box is BOTH hardware and software, it can be purchased in any capacity deemed necessary, so scalability isn't an issue, Bomgar has the experience necessary to create a design that can support as many customer and agent sessions as you can throw at it. We have never had any issues with the Bomgar box and licenses that we have installed.

  • Bomgar will easily turn a 45 minute phone call into a 5 minute support session. You can't get back that extra 40 minutes any faster.

Almost immediately. We could not support our clients effectively without TeamViewer. Its reliable, fast and allows us to do our work in a moments notice.
  • The core of our business is providing remote IT support to unmanned stations. Without a program like TeamViewer, we would be unable to operate.
  • On numerous occasions, we have avoided having to travel to site on top as well as raise a callout with local agents, saving us many thousands.
  • We can work from home or support our service technicians on the field any place, any time.
