Why Upgrade? Exclusive Features of Splashtop Enterprise
While Splashtop SOS has already proven itself as a reliable remote support solution, Splashtop Enterprise takes things several notches higher. For organizations aiming to future-proof their IT infrastructure and looking to provide more comprehensive support to a diverse and evolving workforce, the Enterprise edition introduces several exclusive features:
Advanced Remote Computer Management: Beyond basic remote support, Splashtop Enterprise facilitates management actions such as Windows updates, system rebooting, and remote commands. Moreover, configurable alerts and 1-to-Many actions streamline processes, making routine tasks more manageable.
Revolutionized On-Demand Support Workflow: With features geared towards improving support channels, technician management, and collaboration, Splashtop Enterprise ensures that the workflow is more streamlined than ever with powerful service desk capabilities.
Splashtop Augmented Reality (AR) Integration: For situations that need more than just a remote view of a screen, the ability to add on Splashtop AR allows technicians to view and interact with the user's physical environment, opening up possibilities for advanced troubleshooting and guidance.
Enhanced Security with Single Sign-On: In the modern era of cybersecurity threats, Splashtop Enterprise prioritizes security with Single Sign-On integrations. This allows authentication through platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, JumpCloud, and more, ensuring both convenience and security.
Scheduling for Access: For better control over remote access, IT admins can now schedule time slots determining when individuals or groups can access specific computers, adding an extra layer of security and management.
Tailored Solutions with Add-Ons: From the Splashtop Connector to SIEM logging integration and IP restriction, Splashtop Enterprise is flexible, allowing organizations to request additional features that cater to their specific needs.
Empowering End-Users: Beyond just supporting end-users, Splashtop Enterprise enables them to access their work computers remotely. With granular permissions, group-based access, and more, the remote work experience is enhanced manifold.
Comprehensive End-User Access Management: IT teams gain more control over end-user access, ensuring that remote access is not just convenient but also secure and controlled.
Expanding Device Reach with Unattended Android Access: In today's device-rich environment, supporting just computers isn’t enough. Splashtop Enterprise offers unattended access to a wider range of devices, including Android smartphones, tablets, POS devices, and even specialized equipment like rugged Android devices and kiosks.
When comparing the two versions, it becomes evident that while Splashtop SOS offers a robust foundation, Splashtop Enterprise is the comprehensive solution for organizations aiming to combine top-tier remote support with advanced management and remote work capabilities.
