BeyondTrust Remote Support, known as Bomgar, has been a money-saving lifesaver over the past 12 years. It pays for itself every week, reducing on-site visits to minimal physical issues. Returning to pinned clients takes just a couple of clicks. Representative's security options can be configured as restrictive or generous for your application.

BeyondTrust's RemoteSupport tool (previously known as Bomgar) sets the industry standard for remotely supporting user endpoints and devices. Their flexibility and functionality are unmatched in the industry, and the interface's intuitiveness is generations ahead of the other tools attempting to compete with their solution. If this isn't enough, BeyondTrust's support technicians, subject matter experts, and account managers are some of the best in the business. With BeyondTrust, the days are long past of an era where your account manager waits until the day after your license expires to ask you if you want to renew or where they only reach out to you when they want your money. I cannot speak highly enough of their teams.

BeyondTrust Remote Support (formerly Bomgar)... The #1 remote support tool.

My service area covers 11 counties in southeastern PA and NJ (USA) of company PCs (including several Macs) and servers. To be able to connect to any company device in two clicks and about five seconds is invaluable. BeyondTrust Remote Support (formerly Bomgar) also allows for multiple concurrent sessions so I am able to assist and interact with multiple PCs simultaneously.

Happy Remote Support Experience!

BeyondTrust Remote Support (also known as Bomgar) in our organization was used to resolve several support complexities that were introduced due to the recent pandemic (COVID19). For example being able to support users outside the corporate network, with a wide range of endpoint devices using various operating systems. BeyondTrust Remote Support is a robust tool that works in line with OS security.

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.

Bomgar now BeyondTrust is awesome and great product for all organizations!

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.

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.

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.

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.

BeyondTrust is great to work with
