Compare Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management vs. Splashtop Remote Support

Admin By Request EPM is an endpoint privilege management solution for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It removes permanent local admin rights and grants elevation only when a task requires it, so a compromised account can't take over an entire system. Elevation applies to applications rather than user accounts, and privileges can be delegated by user or group to fit developers, general staff, and third-party contractors alike. Threat and behavioral analytics identify risky users, assets, and software, and every session is logged for auditing. The solution runs from a single portal, works online or offline, and requires no additional servers or databases.

Splashtop Remote Support is a secure remote support and remote access platform built for IT professionals, help desks, managed service providers, and businesses that need fast and reliable device support across multiple operating systems.
