Overall Satisfaction with Bomgar Remote Support Software
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.
- This has really assisted us in being able to remote into a PC rather than having to drive there or to travel there. We had our first international ticket come through this afternoon for a pc in a South American country. That was interesting.
- It is not cheap, it will cost you plenty.
- But what other product has the versatility that Bomgar has?
One thing I like about Dameware is that you have access to a remote command prompt and that has been very handy at times. But Dameware is limited to on the network support, last time I used it. Bomgar can handle multiple platforms and operating systems. I cant email an invite from Dameware for remote support over the internet.
