BeyondTrust Remote Support alternative: Tenvara

BeyondTrust Remote Support is used by service desks that want tightly audited remote sessions, with customers joining through a portal and Jump Clients for unattended machines. Tenvara builds remote control into the same agent as monitoring, patching and scripts, so an MSP can remote in from a device, a ticket or a chat. It suits MSPs who mostly support devices they already manage.
