BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is well suited to grand monitored privileged access to resources. It works in a proxy mode so end-users don't have direct access to servers. This can help prevent attacks on servers from users' machines since all the traffic to the servers goes through the Privileged Remote Access server which performs auth according to the policies. In cases where direct access to the servers/service from the end-user's machine is required, it is a little bit complicated to set up that kind of connection using protocol tunneling.

Alternatives Considered
Much better control and use and features for screen sharing and remote access. The ability to show how to use, message and control cursor and full screen is beneficial for its purpose. Other programs have to have a specific screen shared which doesn’t allow for pop ups, 2nd windows, etc to be viewed and accessed.

The main factor is the ease of implementation and also its use in everyday life.
