My main use case for BeyondTrust Remote Support is that it helps support teams of all sizes improve their business performance by enabling secure, controlled remote support to nearly any device or system anywhere in the world. In my organization, we use BeyondTrust Remote Support to assist our customers with technical support issues and for remediating malware from their systems. Additionally, we are able to use the software across multiple operating systems, which was a limitation of our previous software.

What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
BeyondTrust Remote Support has positively impacted my organization because we are able to collaborate remotely very effectively. This software has a positive impact because you don't have to be an expert to get started. It's relatively user-friendly and easy to use. With the ability to use the software for collaboration, we've been able to retire one of our old collaboration software, saving us money. Also, it's a great tool because it lets the help desk do their job, sometimes remotely. It allows suppliers to provide help without coming to our site, hence saving a lot of time and cost.
Since using BeyondTrust Remote Support, I've seen specific outcomes including saving significant time because our suppliers, when we need help, don't come to our site. Approximately 50 to 60% of time is saved, and collaboration has immensely increased from 40 to 65%.
What is most valuable?
I really enjoy the reporting and administration features and the willingness of BeyondTrust Remote Support's own support and product teams to go above and beyond for their customers. We had an issue a few weeks back that required escalated handling, and the service team was amazing. They did a perfect job.
I also love the ability to provide seamless and fast support with BeyondTrust Remote Support, which is very important in my organization.
BeyondTrust Remote Support's best features empower our service desk with utilities within the software that all work as designed. It provides a complete remote solution for our business, hence promoting business collaboration. Additionally, it offers a stable remote connection and keeps a repository of recently logged-on host machines perfectly while reestablishing a remote connection if there was a network drop. The stable remote connection and repository of host machines have helped my team by satisfying regulatory requirements for a long time. I also love its unique segmentation capabilities of their cloud deployment, giving us a cloud without compromise.
What needs improvement?
BeyondTrust Remote Support has good features that are not available in other apps, including rebooting without disconnection and the ALT + CTRL + deletion function. It's easier for data transfer, and multiple people can join a session easily.
I think BeyondTrust Remote Support could be improved by being a bit more user-friendly in terms of connecting for a user. I would add that the zoom function allows us to zoom, but you can't particularly move around once you have zoomed in. Additionally, sometimes a remote connection cannot be established for unknown reasons, even if the host machine is clearly online.
I have noticed that BeyondTrust ABS can sometimes be challenging to navigate, but it's no more challenging than other competitors.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using BeyondTrust Remote Support for the past five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would describe the reliability of BeyondTrust Remote Support during critical incidents or outages as stable, so it's very reliable and keeps on being stable. BeyondTrust Remote Support is stable; it's fast and reliable, so it's very stable. I haven't experienced any downtime or lagging issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
BeyondTrust Remote Support's scalability is very scalable because remote support has been streamlined, and I have no issues now.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support of BeyondTrust Remote Support is top-notch and reliable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used ManageEngine Endpoint Central before switching to BeyondTrust Remote Support because BeyondTrust has better support, account managers, an intuitive interface, better documentation for using their solution, and more support for rolling out their solution to endpoints, whether it's Mac or Windows. They also demonstrate a desire to resolve issues quickly rather than consuming three to five business days trying to correct a specific issue like ManageEngine Endpoint did. That's why we switched from it to BeyondTrust Remote Support.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment because remote support saves over a thousand dollars over the year in speeding up tasks and reducing time depleted from end-users. BeyondTrust Remote Support doesn't wait 24 hours between responses if you have a ticket open, and they are not afraid to connect and look at the issue directly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for BeyondTrust Remote Support is that it's cost-effective.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing BeyondTrust Remote Support, I evaluated other options including LogMeIn and Rescue by GoTo.

My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that for the years I've been working with the BeyondTrust team with multiple customers and environments, they've been consistently offering top-shelf support, whether your environment has 250 users or more than 25,000 users. They support Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, and macOS, providing instruction 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. BeyondTrust Remote Support provides seamless remote assistance or troubleshooting has been very easy.
I have additional thoughts about BeyondTrust Remote Support; with BeyondTrust Remote Support, they prioritize security, so you can be confident that only people you want to access a given endpoint have access because their security can be configured to be role-based or as granular as you want.
I would rate my overall experience with BeyondTrust Remote Support an 8 out of 10.
