BeyondTrust Remote Support is a robust tool that works in line with OS security.

Need help? We're there in a flash!
We use [BeyondTrust Remote Support (Legacy)] for internal support and it has made things so much easier and more seamless. From my standpoint, it's great and I don't dread having someone access my machine any longer. What we used before was more complicated and also took longer to get started. I think our internal tech team likes it too.
- Allows easy access
- Easy for customer/client to understand
- No separate website for anyone to navigate
- There's always room for improvement, right?
We use BeyondTrust Remote Support within the IS department and Operations. It's heavily used more than ever due to COVID-19. All employees are working remotely and Remote Support is the only way we can help with issues ranging from accessing a file in Office 365, down to installing a local printer. Without it our company would have closed or may it near impossible for work to be completed. As long as the end point has internet access anywhere in the world we can access their computer and assist them.
- Ease of use for the end user. Nothing for them to do. We just located their computer object within the management application and double click to access.
- Remote access to the end point as long as they have internet access.
- Administration, permissions in the setup are easy to follow, creating jump groups, policies.
- Odd behavior with inherited permissions. Change the way a user in more than one group is handled when applying them to a jump group.
- Making the console web based on a cell phone vs using the Android or Apple application.
- Drag and drop or copy/pasting a file transfer vs using a separate tab function. I can copy/paste in RDP.
We have a ton of servers and in order to manage them properly we use [BeyondTrust Remote Support (Legacy)] remote support. It is currently used by our system teams including our technical services team who help support our business applications. We are able to better manage access across the organization as well multiple devices and environments
- Customer Service
- Centrally manage and secure remote access
- Manageable Cost
- Multi apps and devices
- Mobile Apps needs improvement
- More Automation
- Having more Chat options/features
- Resource files are huge and take up a lot of space

Bomgar is the Bomb!
Our department recently got licenses for Bomgar from our central Office of Information Technology (OIT) and it has been extremely helpful in providing remote support to our users while working from home. It allows easy elevation of privileges so we can do admin functions on the users' computers remotely.
- Easy to use both on Mac and Windows.
- Users of all skill levels have had no issues connecting with support staff.
- Invaluable resource for tech support working remotely.
- Voice chat with the user would be helpful so we could talk about the issue verbally rather than just through chat.
- There are some issues elevating privileges when connecting to Windows computers from a Mac.

We absolutely love Bomgar, or I guess now BeyondTrust Remote Support. It makes my job possible from almost anywhere. I can support someone even riding down the road from a laptop or cellphone. I have even worked while wading around in the ocean. Without it, we would be stuck with a much less secure option to provide remote support.
- Ease of use
- Good interface
- Mobile app really comes in handy
- I love the ability to use it without a download from any computer
- Mobile app has some issues at times

BeyondTrust Remote Support - One of Our Best Purchase Decisions

Vetted Review
Verified User
BeyondTrust Remote Support allows us to support our users at over 125 branch offices across the state. We use it for computer support and troubleshooting as well as one-on-one training. We have approximately 25 support specialists and trainers that utilize the system daily. With limited personnel and a wide geographic area to cover, BeyondTrust Remote Support has enabled us to increase our response time on issues, which greatly increases our employees productivity. It also reduced our travel expenses by at least 50%.
- Remotely access systems of all types (PC's, Macs, Phones, & Tablets)
- When called we can jump into users' systems using preinstalled Jump Client without the users having to do anything.
- I would like for the audio from a connected device to be accessed for troubleshooting.
- Product is more expensive than competing products.

BeyondTrust allows for amazing remote sessions
BeyondTrust is being used by us for remote support at our service desk. It is very beneficial in allowing us to remote to any machine with an internet connection, whether they are on our network or not. This has helped a lot with employees that work at home. We have also been using it for whitelisting some applications to allow users to install them or manipulate them as needed without the need to provide admin rights.
- Remote support is quick and easy.
- Allowing users to install apps without the need for local admin rights.
- File transfers have been helpful as well.
- None.

Bomgar Remote Support Software makes life easier. It's very easy to connect with others and have a look at the issue, rather than guess what it is. I use it daily!
- Easy connection.
- Admin support.
- Option for a great report with the survey.
- Bigger screen resolution.
- Mobile phone support - it could be in play already I just don't use it.
- Can't think of a third.

Rockin IT with Bomgar
We use Bomgar to access remote user PCs to assist them with questions, issues, and training. Other departments use it for various reasons as well.
- Secure connections that terminate and uninstall at session disconnect. These are important because we deal with sensitive information and is required by our internal controls. Bomgar is excellent at this.
- Scripting reduces the time to deploy software
- One thing that Bomgar could do better is to provide more logging natively without relying on products like ServiceNow to capture the logs for them. The logging options should be able to be modified by administrators. The logs should also be role restrictable.
- Cannot use multiple resource files in a script and not enough space for storing the resource files.

It's not Marmite (everyone loves it)
We use Bomgar in the ICT department to take control of various corporate PC's across the campus and at remote campuses to reduce the need for desk side visits.
- Brings many remote support tools into one location making it easier to use for for both our less experienced technicians and our technical experts.
- The reporting features of Bomgar, in particular session recording is a great tool to record complex issues.
- Canned Scripts are excellent for reducing the time to deploy various utilities and software.
- I would like to see the ability for individual canned scripts to be able to use more than one resource file.
- I would like to see a 'wysiwyg' editor for the Public Site Web Template (in addition to the html editor).
- I would like to have more space for canned script resource files.

Bomgar, now BeyondTrust, provides easy remote support
Bomgar Remote Support Software is only used by the IT department to support end users and to gain unattended remote access to manage the servers in our environment. It enables our support technicians to assist users on any platform from anywhere.
- Support from anywhere.
- Support for any platform.
- Support to anywhere.
- The one functionality that was missing, being able to blank the end user's screen while working on it, has been added back in the most current release. I have no complaints now.

Will this remote connection tool "blow your mind"?
We use Bomgar to connect remotely to client computers. This tool allows us to further troubleshoot issues before sending tickets to an onsite tech.
- Bomgar allows us to take control of a computer remotely using a website.
- Users can access the website from anywhere.
- We are able to elevate rights and use admin credentials if needed through to the Bomgar console.
- Entering admin credentials through the console is not always very easy.
- It can be difficult to get users to navigate to the correct Bomgar webpage.
- Switching monitors for users who use multiple screens is not very easy.

****Great application for remote help for all types of users****
The main business problems we are solving is that of being able to more reliably remote to customer's computers.
We use Bomgar so that we can see the end user's machine and essentially do the work ourselves if needed versus trying to have the end user do the work.
We use Bomgar so that we can see the end user's machine and essentially do the work ourselves if needed versus trying to have the end user do the work.
- You can use it to screen share on multiple platforms.
- The amount of information that you can collect from a customer's computer without even screen sharing is immense.
- Sometimes it takes multiple steps to get approved to fully control the user's computer. This is probably because of their security settings but it's annoying.
- Auto Times out after inactivity if there are no sessions in progress.

Ease of use
Bomgar is used to remote different users across oour two campuses. It makes it easy to contact a user, ask for their machine asset tag, and quickly and securely remote into their PC. Because we are able to have this be a solution we can deploy across campus, it works very well.
- Security and user confirmation for accepting screen share
- Char and sharing files
- Latency is next to none
- Refresh button gone in latest update
- Make it easier to remove the sidebar completely
- Integration with more of our tools

We used Bomgar 2 years ago to provide secure remote support to end users. It replaced TeamViewer as it provides reporting, SAML authentication and integration with ServiceNow. We can now provide monthly metrics reports to leadership for all our technicals and groups utilizing Bomgar remote support. The SAML authentication provides secure 2 step authentication for all our techs. The ServiceNow integration has been tested and will be rolled out in our organization later this year.
- SAML authentication works perfectly enabling us to set up members in workgroups to provide secure access
- Reporting: Detailed usage by techs on all the remote sessions they performed each month
- Integration with ServiceNow is a feature we are excited to implement later this year
- Reporting is limited to a set number of past days and requires an additional purchase to retain data long-term
- Chat support needs to be able to be set for certain hours within the system
We have 150 local network accessible users running the jump client we can access without requiring user assistance. We have 70,000 customers and any other remote system that we can gain access to via the web portal. We use the presentation portion of the application frequently to share a desktop for multiple users to view. Bomgar Remote Support Software is an awesome application that has made remote access/management of system a breeze. Can't imagine having to work without it.
- Allows groups to be set up and limit system access by the group.
- Ability to wake system at remote locations if one system with the client loaded is running at the remote location.
- Ability have multiple users log into one remote system.
- Ability to transfer access to another user.
- Web browser access to support agents devices when the application is not available.
- System is difficult to set up initially without assistance from Bomgar support.
- System remote access can only be limited by groups not per user.
- Sometimes difficult to find options when administering the system.

Screen share means faster resolution means higher CSAT means higher renewal rate and higher bonus
Our company switched to Bomgar several years ago. Our Customer Support team used it to screen share with customers and it was much more accepted by our customers' IT team. Since then our professional services team and internal IT adopted. Our Development team can review the video recordings to see the exact situation the customer is encountering.
- Being able to collaborate when needed was great. I didn't have to share my screen via messenger with my teammate, but just have them get into the session.
- As a manager, it was good to be able to use the rep viewer when listening to calls for quality control (live) or recorded. And those recordings help our engineering team see what goes on too.
- The surveys from screen sharing give us another insight into the customer health.
- The reporting is a bit cumbersome. Having to cross reference the three reports before we can associate with CRM information.

Bomgar Remote Support Software is used by our department to support ourselves and a handful of other department scattered across campus. This is extremely helpful when the issue is urgent and requires immediate attention or there is bad weather that would make the trek across campus difficult or otherwise unpleasant.
- Bomgar is easy to use and sessions can be initiated by the user or the technician.
- Bomgar is compatible with a wide variety of devices and most devices can be Bomgar'd to and Bomgar'd from.
- I have no complaints with this product.
