Access servers securely over private networks but need better data transfer solutions
Azure Bastion is primarily used to access servers securely without exposing them to the public network. It is configured in a private network to allow accessing an environment without public exposure Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without…

Remote sessions have become smoother and now resolve end user issues more comfortably
One feedback I have is regarding the voice feature. Whenever we take a remote session, the voice gets enabled automatically, and we have to mute it from our side. A pop-up asking whether we want to continue with the voice or not would be helpful when accessing a remote session. The audio system could be improved because sometimes we are not aware that we need to unmute the team while taking a remote session. The end user can hear us talking with colleagues, and we sometimes forget that we have unmuted while taking a remote session. If a pop-up appears when we take a remote session with the end user asking us to unmute ourselves, that would be better for us to proceed. When the pop-up appears, we can directly mute ourselves, and the end user will not be able to hear the background noise from the office. Since many colleagues are taking remote sessions and talking to end users simultaneously, there is often significant background noise. Having this pop-up appear when accessing a remote session with the end user would be a helpful update.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Azure Bastion is preferable because you just switch it on and off you go."
"Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without hitting the public network."
"Overall, I had a very positive experience."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use...It is modernized, so I can create complex infrastructures."
"The product's setup is easy."
"The connection to virtual machines is very useful."
"It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required."
"As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion."
"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."
"The remote access is most valuable."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."
"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."
"The stability seems to be pretty good so far."
"The product is secure."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management was very simple."
"We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client."
 

Cons

"You are charged for retrieving your own data."
"There is room for improvement with AI features. I would like to see integrated AI features with Azure Bastion, especially for connectivity issues."
"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."
"The solution breaks down sometimes."
"Azure Bastion does its job. However, it would be nice to have the capability to cut and paste across desktops, similar to old-fashioned Remote Desktop emulation."
"There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice."
"While general support is valuable, having a detailed breakdown of the specific issues would contribute to a more streamlined and efficient resolution process."
"Currently, Azure Bastion does not allow for direct data transfer between desktops. A storage solution must be created to transfer data, and this requires additional permissions like ACL or NFS."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"The security could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not save money for us."
"The pricing is a lower decision point than high-quality security for our organization. Better security comes at a cost, but it's worth it, and that's what we tell our customers."
"The tool is cheaply priced. I would say that the product is free to use."
"Azure Bastion's pricing is good."
"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
"It is a licensed product."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
