Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
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

- Installation and upgrades.

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.
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.

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.

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.

- User-friendly.
- Easy to deploy.
- Ability to swap screen sharing.
- Better chat session functionality.

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.
We use it as our primary remote support service to help troubleshoot and fix issues with our users. This product is used by our entire IT Department. It helps with immediate or rapid support from our team to our end users.
- Remote support service.
- File sharing.
- Desktop and screen sharing.
- None that I can tell.

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.

Remote Support is used by our Service Desk and Level II support technicians. This application allows us to remote into devices across our entire organization. We have over 8000 endpoints, 12000 mobile devices in locations throughout the US.
- Support Sessions are easy to set up
- Configuration was simple
- Upgrades are easily implemented
- Un-attended remote sessions are not possible without paying for extra tools
- Client upgrades can be finicky
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
Bomgar was brought in as a remote appliance but it has turned in to so much more. I call it the game changer for us. It interlaces well with our Kace K1 appliance and the interface is simple to use, even for the novice. As we progressed in our usage, we saw the value in allowing outside vendors the ability to use jump clients on servers they frequent. This also worked well for internal departments who needed the same great secure access to internal infrastructures like HVAC controllers. But what impressed me the most about Bomgar was our rollout of the chat feature to our users. Now we chat with our end users and sometimes, fix issues without having to even make a connection to their machine. And our students even get in on this, not just from the campus but from their homes. To help a student who can't register for class when they are out of ideas and fretting at the last minute, miles or even states away, well that is a game changer.
- The ease of remote access Bomgar allows is second to none. You have many options when it comes to remote support from the Bomgar button on the end user side to manual entry of that machine's ID or IP address. If you want to use RDP, they do that too.
- Performance is always up for discussion when all situations and networks are different. But when we were seeing connection and graphics issues with 2 other remote solutions, Bomgar just worked and did it well.
- If features are your thing, Bomgar has that and then some. And they are always adding to the toolbag. They are more than remote access and I see their role increasing and the tools too.
- 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.

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.

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.
Bomgar is our enterprise remote support solution. Our technical reps use it to assist all of our end users remotely. Bomgar addresses our business need for a secure and auditable remote support tool.
- Ease of use
- Capabilities
- Security
- I would like to see a lower installation client package size that would aid in more quickly launching remote support sessions

Bomgar is currently only in use in one Department with expansion all ready planned. Bomgar has enabled a support structure of one to do the job of an entire team and made that process secure and streamlined. I work in and around regulated data and Bomgar is never a concern being I know where the data is going and have the logs and video to show it.
- Security security security! they are in my opinion ahead of the game on level of security offered
- Extremely easy for my users to interact with me. Simply send them to my internal web page and away we go!
- Audit logs and trails that will satisfy every thing I want to know and more
- I wish they had a little more Ipad support integration however that is not Bomgar's fault!

Bomgar is used to remotely share s user's screen through the Internet using a web browser. The user browses to a website where they are asked to enter a session key that is provided by the analyst and then connect. Once the user accepts the terms and opens the connection, the analyst is able to display the remote screen and assist the user.
- Allows analysts to fully access a user's PC or Mac to assist with software issues.
- Is a very secure way to remotely assist user.
- Allows analyst to see all displays.
- The user interface is a bit clunky and could be polished or streamlined.
- It is difficult at times for the user to download and run the Bomgar program through different web browsers.
- Can be difficult for the user to access the website based on their web browser.

We use Bomgar for IT support for our organization. We use it to remote into PCs to resolve issues. This enables us to resolve issues with computers remotely in most cases. Our service desk, Tier 2 and Tier 3 information management teams use Bomgar Remote Support software to do a variety of things against remote PCs. It saves time, enables us to resolve issues whether or not the user is available, and simplifies the remote support process.
- I remoted into an unmanned PC this afternoon using the jump client and was able to resolve a high urgency issue. Once I initiated the connection it went right in and I was able to work. No lag and not delay either.
- We also can send an email to a user have them use the link to access a PC across the internet that is not on our network. This is really good for out of band support.
- The chat and file transfer functions are really there to communicate to the user and to transfer files to the remote PC or back to some other location.
- It would be great if it had wake on LAN functionality. That way you could power up a PC that is powered off and do your work, then power it back off. All without bothering the user.
- Sometimes when updating the client it does not go as smooth as one would like. IT would be nice for the client to detect that there is a new client available and download it, giving the user the option of installing.
- Upgrading the client on the console is not that easy to do either. Have had to get Bomgar support involved to get it done on at least one instance. It really should be easier.

We use Bomgar Remote Support to provide our techs remote access to the computer systems we support for our customers. In addition to remote screen sharing, it also provides instant feedback on the status of computers and allows us easy access to inventory and system information. Its easy to use interface allows for use with almost zero training. The ability to share a remote session or hand off sessions between reps is very nice. The rep client can be a little buggy sometimes but overall it works consistently.
- 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.
- The process users follow to start a remote session if the Bomgar software is not already installed seems to confuse some users. I've seen other remote support software products that seem to do a little better job.
- The rep client software can be a little buggy. Some times it crashes or locks up when using it.
- The iOS rep console app is good but not as full featured as the Desktop app. It would be nice to see complete parity between the two and have all the same features on the iOS app as you do on the desktop.

Bomgar is used to support volunteers with their access to our internal email system and infrastructure.
- Ease of use - volunteers are easily able to initiate a support session to get their issues resolved.
- It leaves no trace - after the completion of a standard support message, nothing is left on the volunteer's machine, no software has to be permanently installed.
- Security - It has an accurate audit trail, and is very secure.
- Price - I hate to say this, but it was the only stumbling block for us. Bomgar's expensive, but it is worth every penny.
