Compare: Remote access
TeamViewer alternative: Tenvara
TeamViewer is one of the best known remote access tools, used for attended support, unattended access and, with TeamViewer Tensor, large governed estates. 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.
