We use e-DMZ Security's e Guard Post product.

Can have multiple approvers and control over access plus it records sessions for RDP and SSH.

We are in the process of setting up new guidelines on how vendors access our servers as well as application owners.  
Can you share any insight on how your institution is handling this?

We require the vendor to give us a static IP (or verifiable subnet) where they will be doing their remote support, 
and provide pinhole firewall exceptions for them to the designated server.  This gives us flow logs, inspection, 
IPS/IDS, etc like any other traffic.

In a few isolated cases we have done VPN, but our current VPN is not as "finely granular" as I would like for vendor 
access cases.
