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 builds the service desk, documentation and backup into the same app rather than as add-ons. You can use it hosted or run it on your own server.
