Compare: Remote access
AnyDesk alternative: Tenvara
AnyDesk is a popular remote desktop tool, used for interactive sessions where the person at the device accepts, and for unattended access with a password. MSPs look at Tenvara when they want remote control built into the same agent as monitoring, patching and scripts, reached from a device, a ticket or a chat. It suits MSPs who mostly support machines they already manage.
