Compare: RMM and patching
Pulseway RMM alternative: Tenvara
Pulseway is an RMM that many MSPs choose for its mobile app, with monitoring, patching, scripting and remote control, and add-ons for security, ticketing, documentation and backup. Tenvara covers the same device work in the browser and the Tenvara app for iOS and Android, and builds the service desk, documentation and backup into the same app and the same agent. You can use it hosted or run it on your own server.

Moving from Pulseway RMM
A calm move, not a big bang. Run both side by side until your team is happy.
How a gradual move to Tenvara works-
1
Import your customers and sites
Import customers and sites from a CSV export, with a dry run first, or add them by hand. Each enrolment token then ties a device to the right customer, and to a site if you choose one.
Importing from CSV -
2
Recreate your policies
Set monitoring checks, thresholds and patch policies at global, customer and device group level. The defaults suit most MSPs, so you may only need a few changes.
Policies, checks and thresholds -
3
Deploy the agent alongside
The one-line install command runs from any tool that can run a script, including Pulseway, so you can roll Tenvara out to a whole customer at once.
Installing the agent -
4
Set up how alerts reach you
Choose which alerts become tickets, and have critical ones reach you by email, Teams, Slack or text.
Alerts into tickets and notifications -
5
Run both side by side, then switch
Compare alerts and patch results for a few weeks, then remove the Pulseway agent customer by customer.
