Overall Satisfaction with Bomgar Remote Support Software

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!
  • I have been able to better serve my clients and in a more timely fashion
  • As a department of one I support critical data and services and all the machine that information touches so Bomgar has given me that ability in one easy package
When asked to report on how many remote sessions have I done I now can give that information accurately. I use the exit surveys for improvement of service and tracking. I have tried the major players out there and Bomgar stood out above the rest.
And I just like Orange
Microsoft Windows Defender Pro
I don't know of any place that would need to do remote support that this would not be my tool of choice!
