What do you like best about Azure Bastion?

It ensures a secure connection to the VM, and I hold the parent company in high regard regarding security. It is easy to use & handle, which is another plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Bastion?

Although they provide quick support in times of need, the cloud-based product lags at times, and whenever there is a drop, the reboot takes more time than necessary. The price is also on the upper side of the curve as compared to other products in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Bastion solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to connect with the developers, and reduce RDL install time and the fact that I can give access to multiple members of my team as a single host helps reducing time lags in work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Bastion?

It is secure by design and easy to set up through the portal, az CLI, ARM, or Bicep. You have MFA, so the security is nothing to worry about, and with the native client, you can also copy files like in an RDP session, as you are used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Bastion?

The only thing I dislike about the Azure bastion is that with the native mode, you have to do it with PowerShell or az CLI and pass many parameters on the command. This could make more easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Bastion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Don't have to open up incoming ports 3389 or 22 to the internet for RDP or SSH session to connect to your VM. Also don't have to maintain NSG(s) because of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes I need to share my screen with my business partner, and during the demo I need to show some services, and those services need to connect to a remote VM to work.
