Unresolved Issues with Bomgar® Piling Up?
More Enterprises Switch to ScreenMeet
Imagine what the right SaaS by your side can do for business
Enterprises switch to ScreenMeet and their employees and agents are getting more done in less time and even less frustration. That's because productivity is also on your side with a seamless ServiceNow integration. So your team can use ScreenMeet Remote Support, embedded in ServiceNow, to resolve employee tickets faster.
Same Old Ways, Same Old Limitations
Sure, Bomgar® has been around since 2003, back before cloud computing and a globally connected workplace. It was designed for appliances, VPNs, and desktops so it didn’t need to be nimble for WFH demands, stay flexible within tech workflows, and get integrated into ITSM platforms like ServiceNow.
Then in 2018, Bomgar joined a new family of companies, BeyondTrust®. Now their focus isn’t as much on serving your needs, but focusing on an entirely different category of Remote Support.
It’s no surprise that BeyondTrust customers complain about performance issues, unresponsive support, cumbersome experiences, stagnant productivity, and expensive pricing with forced upgrades. It requires a separate workflow from ServiceNow, so the customer loses even more productivity. Also, their AWS integration is not cloud-native like they’d like you to think it is.

It’s hard to embrace all the flaws within Bomgar. Here’s what IT Service Leaders share about their relationship and experience with BeyondTrust Remote support:

Detailed comparison
Let’s peel back the layers and look beyond the surface to see how remote vendors stack up. So much of your success is tied to factors beyond standard software features.
How Do Remote Support Features Stack Up?
Since remote support is a well-established software category that’s been around for over 20 years, a set of features and requirements come standard no matter what platform your team’s on. However, not all features are created equally. You won’t believe the difference.
ScreenMeet not only stands by a better product, we’ll even wait for you to realize it. That’s why there's no rush, no pressure. Compare for as long as you need to make a decision on what’s better for your team.
When you’re ready our Customer Success Managers will help you migrate quickly from start to finish.

It was the smoothest move ever we have done with a tool. And because session notes, screen shots, call recordings, and other information are automatically added to the incident, the biggest benefit so far has been the time savings, requiring fewer steps to get everything into the ticket for logging.

I can say that our agents cannot live without ScreenMeet today.
