It is suited for every business. You can use it whether you are an individual, student, professional, or organization. You can simply download it, ask the user to share their ID, connect to their system, and support them remotely. You don't require any special skill or technical knowledge to use it.

I've been working with BeyondTrust's teams, with multiple customers and environments, and they consistently offer top-shelf support whether your environment has 250 users or 25000. Their staff is always patient and friendly in answering questions, working to resolve technical issues (should they occur), and they provide the information to help you understand how to do it yourself rather than perpetually relying on their technical consultants or engineers. They support Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, and macOS, providing instructions on how to interface with each system and make it as simple as possible to help your users regardless of what system they are working on.

Pros
  • Minimises the physical involvement of our trainers for training new technicians joining the company.
  • Building better relationships with our clients by assisting them with bookings and understanding services.
  • Also we use it to manage clients feedbacks and share information with each other.

  • Probably top most on my list is the support from Bomgar - they use their own product and take their support very seriously. They have always been available when I've needed help. They even set up a temporary host on their server when my IT crew, mistakenly plugged into the wrong port.
  • Talk about documenting a support session. We have the complete recording of what a tech will do to help a customer. There are no ambiguities as to what was done or not done. Not that any of our customers have complained about a support session - quite to the contrary all customers that give reviews after a support session rate the experience as either high or very high.
  • Best of all...I can help my mother in law with her computer without having to go to her house.

Cons
  • Notification or Addition:
  • AnyDesk provides codes to connect room, which is complicated sometimes, if it is manageable same as a call then it can be much user friendly though current system is unique in its way for AnyDesk.
  • Use of AI more:
  • If AnyDesk can provide Summary, previous call data and recording data storage with summarized way that can be useful.
  • Multi user experience:
  • While discussion itself if we want to add another user for help this quick feature is not easy currently.

  • I would like to see a voice chat capability added to the system.
  • I would like to have access to canned scripts through a web interface. This would be useful those limited times I am actually working on a pc in person.
  • I would like to be able to use files in the filestore for canned scripts rather than having to upload them a second time.

Bomgar has improved the support we have given as an ICT department and improved the ICT department reputation within the organisation. We have had no issues with Bomgar as a product and it works well. The team at Bomgar are also a pleasure to work with, they follow up with us to see how they can help us use more of the features of the system and really take time to get to know their users and how they use the product.

Usability
My personal experience with AnyDesk has been good. I found that it is easy to use for both technical and nontechnical users to get started. It offers fast and Responsive performance, with Low latency even over an average internet connection

Just like any other remote support tool, BeyondTrust Remote Support is very easy to use, all you do is make sure the host machine has the bomgar agent active in it and then all you do is remote into the said host machine once that is out of the way you are able to do what you need to do in that host machine.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
As far as uptime is concerned, Since Bomgar creates the Hardware and Software, they can make it the most reliable box in our datacenter, and they also have options for availability and redundancy that we didn't need to utilize, we have a manual fail-over process that we can invoke, but there are configurations that would allow for an automated failover as well.

Performance
No answers on this topic
There is no lag-time at all, no matter how many users we have on the box, it is always entirely dependant on the customers internet speed (as we have a very fast connection), that is the only issue I've EVER seen with Bomgar, no matter how many sessions we run the box is always up, always fast, always working.

I didn't have any technical problems and I didn't suffer from bugs or errors. Customer service has improved a lot and I no longer need to leave the office to go to the user's computer. With AnyDesk I install and remove programs, printers, scanners, settings in general. Screen sharing is excellent and without delays. Overall, I recommend and approve AnyDesk.

We have been using this tool since March and it has enabled us to provide full support to our users while we are all working from home. Even after we return to the office it will allow us to provide better support to our users in other buildings. There are a number of features we haven't yet used, but it is good to know that we have a reliable tool to use to help us provide quality support.

In-Person Training
No answers on this topic
we didn't have in-person training because their online training was so overwhelmingly well done. Start by looking at the docs: http://www.bomgar.com/docs/content/index.htm if that alone doesn't answer all your questions, there will be a window that pops up asking if you would like to chat with a sales representative, or a support engineer. Either of them can answer all of your questions as easily as if they were standing there with you, or talking to you on the phone, it is truly the power of Bomgar!

Since we have installed and been running Bomgar software for quite some time now, we have taken the opportunity to attend various web trainings, and they are always very prompt, informative and open to questions/discussions. We appreciate the work that Bomgar does to keep their customer community informed of new features and discussions of further product developments.

It was easy to get going. You have to pick your features to enable disable and then configure any customizations for the enabled features. It could not be easier to get started. The number of options can be a bit overwhelming at first

Alternatives Considered
AnyDesk is simpler to use than BeyondTrust. Beyond trust is suitable for a bit, but it's a bit heavy. Major guidance is required to guide the next person. Multiple steps are involved before we get remote access. Sometimes, it gets stuck in between. Beyond trust, data transfer is comparatively slower. It cannot be ready within a few minutes.

We have used TeamViewer and LogMeIn Rescue in the past. Both products offer the abilities to make remote connections, but LogMeIns monitoring capabilities are minimal and TeamViewer is costly for what you get...or more of what you don't get. Also, there have been some weird cybersecurity malware detections on team viewer lately that was causing concern

Scalability
No answers on this topic
Since the Bomgar Box is BOTH hardware and software, it can be purchased in any capacity deemed necessary, so scalability isn't an issue, Bomgar has the experience necessary to create a design that can support as many customer and agent sessions as you can throw at it. We have never had any issues with the Bomgar box and licenses that we have installed.

Return on Investment
  • The most positive impact is time saving, in all the aspects using any other thing then AnyDesk consumes a lot of productive time and that cost you a lot more than a single subscription. Using this time in productive works pays you well in the the sales or any other process.

  • We've used Bomgar for 10 years. Our company was probably too small when we started using it but over the years we have grown. As our team has gotten bigger we rely more heavily on bomgar and it's become an indispensable tool.
  • It saves us a tremendous amount of time / cost over having to go onsite as any remote screen sharing tool will do.
  • The ability to easily and security manage remote access to hundreds of computers over dozens of different companies is a huge benefit to our company.
