    Rahul, if you like Bomgar and remote support tools you should try ScreenConnect. The applications are similar in they are both self-hosted providing increased security and speed. ScreenConnect can be hosted on any PC, so it does not require the extra piece of hardware that Bomgar does. SC is a fraction of the price of Bomgar, that is why we went with it for our remote support and that is why you should give it a closer look.
