Compare: Documentation and passwords
Hudu alternative: Tenvara
Hudu is a popular documentation platform for MSPs, with structured assets, a password vault, a knowledge base and checklists, available hosted or self-hosted. MSPs look at Tenvara when they would rather keep documentation in the same app as tickets, devices and monitoring. Like Hudu, Tenvara can be hosted or self-hosted, with the same features either way.
