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.

Bomgar - The Game Changer
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
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.

Review of Bomgar remote Support
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.

Bomgar - A key to our success for the last decade
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.

Bomgar technology is leveraged every day in our organization and is an indispensable tool empowering technology staff to troubleshoot, diagnose, and assist users in well over 100 locations across the state. The technology has truly transformed the way we interact with users and has saved countless dollars in travel costs. A direct line to the end user provides tremendous value and truly amazes those supported.
Bomgar is primarily used to support external customers by one business unit, but other business units are also planning on using it after seeing how secure and powerful the tool is. The key business problems addressed are: high security, meets compliance with audit trails, highly customisable, and it's cheaper in the long run than similar products.

Bomgar is used on a daily basis by the whole IT team to troubleshoot issues remotely, even if the client is outside the network. We use it mainly for remote support, screen sharing and presentations. It's also used to give access to external firms on some shop machines. Since we can monitor and record sessions, if anything gets messed up we can check what was done wrong.

Supporting clients is always a challenging task, especially when you are supporting individuals, that are outside your organization. In my area of IT that is what we do every day, supporting users that are outside of our organization. Our budget is limited and our personnel resources are stretched thin just like most IT support groups. We had been using one of Bomgar’s competitors but the licensing was putting excessive strain on our budget and they the only thing the competitor was offering was extra fees for services that we would lose if we did not pay them. So I came across Bomgar and was able to demo their product. It fit my needs and budget perfectly. I was able to easily provide an ROI and get Bomgar integrated in quickly. Now Bomgar is not only my team’s primary remote access tool, other departments within my company have purchased licenses so that they too can benefit from this great resource. Bomgar has easily replaced my old remote support tool and helped not only save my budget but others within my company as well.

We use Bomgar to provide technical support to our users worldwide. It gives us the ability to connect securely to our staff and provide remote assistance. We have also used jump points to help us connect directly to computers for remote upgrades and updates.

Bomgar, at first, was used in my organization as a tool for only the helpdesk support staff. We were still under utilizing it until one winter was really bad and everyone started to use it as a means to keep doing the work. It has now since spread to other departments within our agency to use as a support tool for helping [customers] and basic training on business software. I personally used it to help connect to all state parks and load software on all of the machines and never left my desk. Hundreds of hours in travel time saved.

Bomgar is very easy to use on both the technician side and the end user. The ease of starting a remote session from a webpage is unmatched!
Recently we received several calls that our remote touchscreen computers wouldn't log in. When you click on the username, the screen flashes black then back to the login screen.
I was able to use Bomgar to remotely file transfer the Window's log files and found the error was with LogonUI.exe. After a quick Google search, I found a Reddit post stating that you need to run a Windows recovery disk or the touchscreen needed to be unplugged from the USB port (not so easy on an all-in-one) then a bad windows update could be uninstalled.
Since none of these solutions would work because I was not at the computer, I needed another way. Since Bomgar has a command shell feature, my personal favorite, I was able to run "wusa /uninstall /quiet /forcerestart /kb:3097877" to uninstall the update remotely. After the computer restarted everything was back to normal.
Try to do that with your average remote desktop program!

We use Bomgar for chat support and remote support for IT. We also have a division that uses it for training purposes. We originally purchased Bomgar for the functionality so that you can reboot the machine and it would automatically reconnect. It allows our technicians to be able to support people in remote locations that before they would have had to drive out to the site to troubleshoot.

I use to use my own TeamViewer account for remote support, because PCAnywhere was so bad. We finally got Bomgar and that’s all I use to support my clients out in the field. I can start support sessions from anywhere on my iPhone and transfer it to my queue when I get back to my desk. What I really love doing is when I am working on someone’s system instead sitting at their computer to finish, I start a session with my phone and carry it back to my desk and complete my work from there.

Our IT at the University of Tennessee is centralized into one Office of Information Technology. Our first tier HelpDesk is granted full access to all of the remote support features. We facilitate anywhere from 20-30 sessions per day among 15-20 support reps. Our tier 2 desktop support also uses the client to attempt to resolve desktop support-related issues from their desk. This allows them to resolve issues from their office, regardless of where the user is physically on campus. Our entire OIT organization has access to Bomgar and many of them use it to solve remote issues for their customers. Bomgar address the business problem of getting end-users back to work as efficiently as possible.

The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture uses Bomgar to support approximately 1000 users located in over 100 offices throughout the state of Tennessee. We support OS and software issues on desktops, laptops and servers. This system has allowed us to reduce our support travel expenses by 75% and greatly increase the speed of response to IT issues. We also allow non-technical staff to use the system to support/train distant employees. This system was so successful, that the main campus IT helpdesk has now incorporated their own unit for student/faculty support.

We really satisfied with the kind of multiplatforms is capable of supporting from simple task like update a plugin to major security clean ups. With the feature to present (Screen sharing) online it also acts like a training tool or even for meetings.
AMAZING nothing has been able to provided all in one tools that is easy to use and manage.
