  • Sharing files between machines doesn't get any simpler
  • Moving machines around in the queues is easy enough and it's a great feature we use often
  • The Bomgar button is amazing. We deploy that to other systems and if someone needs us, there is no need to call

  • Logging into a customer's system for the first time is always impressive. You can hear them getting colleagues to gather around and watch the magic happen on their screen.
  • Solving a customer's problem with Bomgar in a fraction of the time with either phone support or an onsite visit (who likes rush hour traffic???) always leaves my customers with a favorable impression

Bomgar does it all, Superbly!
