BeyondTrust Remote Support is my organization's primary support application for remote access. While the IT department are the primary users, we have set up accounts for other departments to use for remote training and support of enterprise applications. I love the ability to provide support across platforms, across networks, and support for varied access levels has been a key driver of the application's internal popularity and effectiveness.

We have been able to save time, precisely one to two hours every day, which is a very positive outcome.
What needs improvement?
I do not see anything that requires major improvement in BeyondTrust Remote Support. I have had maybe one or two problems, but reporting and metrics should be improved, and integration with other applications such as ticket tracking apps should also be improved.
I would add that mobile remote control, especially on iOS, should be improved.
I gave it a nine instead of a perfect ten because integrations are still lagging behind, especially with ticket tracking apps. Reporting and metrics also should be improved.

What other advice do I have?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is a great tool. I love it because it is a very reliable and cost-effective tool.
BeyondTrust Remote Support has helped with productivity, enabling us to support more customers since we do not have to go on-site for every issue. We have also been able to save time and cost because we do not need to visit the site frequently to troubleshoot. Additionally, customer satisfaction has increased and customer retention has improved.
We measure time savings by noticing that customers are very satisfied and happy because we are able to support them. The way we measured this is because we have seen less time spent on site visits.
My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that it is being used across the whole business to help support our clients when we cannot go on-site or fix an issue remotely.
BeyondTrust Remote Support is very easy to use. It is a great tool when your machines are down and we have failures.
I would rate BeyondTrust Remote Support a nine out of ten based on my experience as it is a very good product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Remote support has transformed daily troubleshooting and now reduces site visits and response times
What is our primary use case?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is one of the best remote assistance and remote troubleshooting tools available, and my IT team uses it on a daily basis to troubleshoot issues remotely, even when the client is outside the network. We use it primarily for remote support, screen sharing, and presentations, and it is also used to give access to external firms on some shop's machines. Since we can monitor and record sessions, if anything gets messed up, we can check what was done wrong.
Recently, we have used BeyondTrust Remote Support for chat support and remote support for IT, and we also have a division that uses it for training purposes. We originally purchased BeyondTrust Remote Support for the functionality that allows us to reboot the machine and have it automatically reconnect. This allows our technicians to support people in remote locations that before would have required them to drive out to the site to troubleshoot, which was very time-consuming and costly. Now we have been able to save a lot of time and cost through BeyondTrust Remote Support.
Regarding my main use cases, if we want our employees or customers to have the ability to chat with a representative because they need their password reset or have a question, it works really well to troubleshoot those people in remote locations where before we might have had to send a technician out to troubleshoot. Now, since we use this tool, we don't have to do that; we just have to screen share and log into any computer we want and troubleshoot from there.
What is most valuable?
The best features BeyondTrust Remote Support offers include unattended remote support through jump clients and the flexibility of providing remote support through a number of devices, including mobile devices. We have the flexibility to choose to deploy a physical appliance on-site or a virtual appliance in the cloud.
The flexibility of remote support and the ability to use it on different devices, including mobile, has been very helpful. It is a very robust tool, the mobile app is very easy to use, and it helps us because we can use it even in remote areas. It is becoming very helpful, and it also supports remote support on our local network and outside of our local network, and it uninstalls itself afterwards. It supports Android users by allowing them to remote into their phones or tablets easily.
BeyondTrust Remote Support provides additional space to allow multiple users to see a single desktop, and there is easy access for end-users to join a session with a technician.
BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization because of the amount of details the technicians can put into a ticket before escalating it. There is a positive customer experience because often their description of the problem is not as detailed as needed. It is better to see it with our own eyes, so we are able to troubleshoot into their machines and do it ourselves. We have also been able to save a lot of time and cost because we don't have to travel all the way to the site, and the cost-saving and time savings have been roughly 40 to 50%.
The 40 to 50% cost and time savings is based on fewer site visits. We are also able to support people globally, which is excellent. Our phone technicians are able to help people better when they call in and provide more time for our building technicians to do other things, saving a lot of time.
What needs improvement?
I cannot think of any major improvements for BeyondTrust Remote Support as they do a good job of updating as they see fit. However, one thing that would be great is if they could add ticketing functionality.
Sometimes it is difficult to find options when administering the system, and also, system remote access can only be limited by groups, not per user.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used BeyondTrust Remote Support for quite a long time, even at my previous organization, so it has been about eight to nine years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is highly scalable because it grows with the organization's needs.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for BeyondTrust Remote Support is very responsive, helpful, and supportive 24/7.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used TeamViewer. I decided to switch from TeamViewer to BeyondTrust Remote Support because it offers so much more for our support personnel, the cost is effective, and it is very easy to use.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with BeyondTrust Remote Support because support personnel are now able to provide remote assistance to customers for systems that are not on our network. It has been a good tool, and we were able to eliminate security issues by replacing the old remote control software that was limited to local users only.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is very cost-effective and affordable. However, I don't think it can be the same for a small organization working on a tight budget, as it might be way out of their budget.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing BeyondTrust Remote Support, I evaluated other options including LogMeIn and Rescue.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that it is well-suited for instances when random outside users need support. Remote users needing assistance do not need any software loaded; they just need to access the support website, or you can send them an email via a link, they load a small temporary client application, and then you have access to their system.
BeyondTrust Remote Support is a great and awesome application that has made remote access through management a breeze, and I cannot imagine having to work without it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Consolidating remote support tools has transformed collaboration and customer service
What is our primary use case?
We also use this tool to allow our vendors access to our systems, which gives us greater control.
A specific example of how I use BeyondTrust Remote Support in my day-to-day work is that it has allowed us to improve collaboration between our support teams by utilizing the team queues and inviting representatives from other teams into the sessions. We have also improved our vendor management process by using Embassies within BeyondTrust Remote Support.
I also use BeyondTrust Remote Support for remote support for our helpdesk for our customers and employees on various platforms such as Mac, Windows, and Linux. It addresses issues with customers or employees having problems on their computers. We are able to log in and troubleshoot from any location, saving a lot of time and cost.
What is most valuable?
What makes the setup and upgrade process for BeyondTrust Remote Support so smooth for my team is the ease of use for the representative console. The ease of explaining to a non-computer-savvy person how to connect is seamless. Remote control of all devices we support, including Linux, Windows, iOS, and Mac, is also a key feature. We do not support iPads as we are unable to remote control them if needed.
BeyondTrust Remote Support has impacted our organization positively by providing better customer service, and improving efficiency for all our representatives. It provides access to all servers from one spot and all computers. We can troubleshoot from any location, saving time and cost. Additionally, it has reduced phone support and the time spent on the phone.
BeyondTrust Remote Support improved our first-line resolution from 30 to 45%. There is better customer service compared to our previous tool, with an increase of 50%. We have improved efficiency, as we can support users anywhere, and we have achieved cost savings of reduction from 30 to 40%.
What needs improvement?
Customizable portals with templates and themes for the representative console would be much appreciated for a better experience with BeyondTrust Remote Support.
I would also like to see file transfer between sessions rather than copying to my local machine and then to the remote host as an improvement for BeyondTrust Remote Support.

Remote support has transformed how my team resolves global user issues quickly and securely
What is our primary use case?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is my primary remote support service that I use to help troubleshoot and fix issues with our users. This product is used by my entire IT department and helps with immediate or rapid support from our team to our end users.
A specific example of how I use BeyondTrust Remote Support to troubleshoot or fix issues is that it has been an invaluable tool for supporting our end users, especially while working remotely. We do not always have time to leave our desks to travel across the remote areas where our users or employees are located. Being able to remote into a machine as tickets arrive has saved us time on our support calls and cost.
I use BeyondTrust Remote Support to connect remotely to our client computers. This allows us to further troubleshoot issues before sending tickets to an onsite technician when it is needed.
What is most valuable?
The best features BeyondTrust Remote Support offers are that it allows us to take control of a computer remotely using a website. Users can access the website from anywhere. We are able to elevate rights and use admin credentials if needed through BeyondTrust Remote Support. File sharing is great, and desktop and screen sharing are also available. You can use it to screen share on multiple platforms. The amount of information that you can collect from a customer computer without even screen sharing is immense and helps to troubleshoot when there is a problem.
Elevating rights and using admin credentials has helped my team by making it easy to contact a user, ask for their machine asset tag, and then quickly and securely remote into their PC. Because we are able to have this capability, we can deploy this solution across our organization, and it works very well.
BeyondTrust Remote Support should be recognized for offering security and user confirmation for accepting screen share, which is great. Chat and file sharing are also available. Latency is minimal, and the performance is always high.
BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization in that for troubleshooting computers of our clients or users we can work from our offices or our own convenient place. This has saved us a lot of time and cost, with approximately thirty to forty percent of our time being saved. The directory listing all of our computers that have the Jump client loaded, showing both online and offline computers, is one of the best features for our remote support. You can support people on personal computers via the web interface portal without the need for agent software to be pre-installed. It also allows other programs to run in the background while running the program itself.
What needs improvement?
BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved in that using this tool when a system is infected with malware is challenging. If you leave it open long enough without actively using it, an annoying pop-up appears.
The user interface of BeyondTrust Remote Support is a bit clunky and could be polished.
If BeyondTrust Remote Support could implement ticketing, that would be fantastic and greatly beneficial. However, I cannot think of much else to improve as they do a good job of updating as they see fit.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using BeyondTrust Remote Support for the past six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
BeyondTrust Remote Support is stable, as the uptime is high and the performance is powerful.

What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with BeyondTrust Remote Support as we are able to support our clients and users globally.

Our phone technicians are able to better help people when they call in, especially our clients, and provide more time for our building technicians to do their work.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing BeyondTrust Remote Support, I evaluated other options such as Cherwell Service Management and ServiceNow.

BeyondTrust Remote Support is the best tool because it makes it very easy to troubleshoot. It is easy and reliable, and if you need to remote into another device, it is easy and provides you with powerful options while working with a customer.
BeyondTrust Remote Support is a great tool that we use in our service desk to remote users all across the world. We have over ten thousand employees, one thousand employees locally, but thousands more than ten thousand worldwide. This has been a perfect tool to reach out to them, especially when they have issues. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.
Remote support has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more secure issue resolution
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for BeyondTrust Remote Support is to provide technical 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 representatives is very nice. The representative client can be a little buggy sometimes, but overall it works consistently.
I typically use BeyondTrust Remote Support for remote access for Mac OS computers. We support primarily businesses that use Macs, and good Mac OS support is very important. It also helps maintain logs and screen-sharing videos of all sessions. It's peace of mind for us and also helps meet compliance standards so we can tell exactly what happened every time we access a machine remotely.
What is most valuable?
BeyondTrust Remote Support allows for easy management of hundreds of computers in a single app. We support a lot of computers for dozens of our clients and employees. Finding the right computer to access is very easy and can be done with just a few clicks.
The best features BeyondTrust Remote Support offers include rapid deployment, extremely reliable service, a wide array of built-in tools, phenomenal support, integration with security providers, and increasing our security posture in my organization. It also provides remote support on our local network and outside of our local network.
These features impact my daily workflow significantly as they allow our technicians to support people in remote locations that before would have required them to drive out to the sites to troubleshoot, which was quite expensive. Now we are able to save considerable cost and time. When it comes to the flexibility of providing remote support through a number of devices, including mobile, it is very efficient.
What needs improvement?
BeyondTrust Remote Support can be improved by adding the capability to remote iOS devices, though it is Apple that prevents that from occurring.
I also wish the file store could be password protected.
There should be a universal desktop and mobile app for Windows 10 as an improvement for BeyondTrust Remote Support.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using BeyondTrust Remote Support for almost my entire five years.

BeyondTrust Remote Support is very stable, with no crashing and no downtime. The performance is relatively high.

I measured 60 to 70% time and cost savings through workflow changes.
I have seen a return on investment by tracking our previous experience when we were using previous tools. That's how we track our changes and workflows and how they change. We have been able to save considerable time and cost, especially because our tech team doesn't have to move from one place to another, thereby saving significant time and cost. We have also been able to increase security for all our devices in our organization.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that BeyondTrust Remote Support is very cost-effective, and affordability is very high. I don't have a problem with that.

BeyondTrust Remote Support is very cost-effective and has saved us time, 60 to 70%, especially because our tech team doesn't have to move from one place to another to troubleshoot or solve certain issues. It's very instant, even with the feedback. The support is top-notch.
BeyondTrust Remote Support has been a great tool that provided us a better view which helped our technicians create more accurate tickets when escalating issues.
My advice for others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that it has a better pricing plan, is more secure, and has better implementation. It saves time and cost because the technicians are able to troubleshoot and resolve issues on time. Thus, it is a highly recommendable tool.

Remote support has transformed our ability to assist staff anywhere and has reduced travel needs
What is our primary use case?
A quick specific example of when I used BeyondTrust Remote Support to solve an issue is that it has been extremely helpful in providing remote support to our users while working from home or remotely. It allows easy elevation of privileges so we can do administration functions on the user's computers remotely with ease.
During this era of working remotely or at home, BeyondTrust Remote Support has been the perfect solution in connecting to users to assist them with their tech support needs. With both the tech support and our users working remotely, we have been able to provide our full support to our users without anyone having to go into the office, hence saving a lot of time.

The improvement in response time has been significant, with troubleshooting issues from anywhere there is an internet connection going from 20% downtime to 45% improvement.
What needs improvement?
Also, there should be better chat section functionality and a better ability to swap screen sharing.
