SimpleHelp

SimpleHelp combines remote support, unattended access, monitoring, automation and security for businesses and IT teams managing users and networks. Technicians can begin on-demand support sessions without installing software first on a user’s device, and WebTech lets them manage a queue and start sessions in a browser. Remote-control sessions include file transfer, resource monitoring, command-line access and clipboard management. Device monitoring provides real-time status, custom alerts and actions across managed devices. Customers can deploy a self-hosted server on-premises, on their own infrastructure or in the cloud. Authentication can connect with Active Directory, Entra ID, OpenID, LDAP or RADIUS; the Web API exposes session and server data for integration. SimpleHelp lists end-to-end encryption and controls including IP restrictions, technician authorization, multi-factor authentication, granular permissions and audits. Licensing is based on concurrently active sessions rather than technician accounts or devices. There is no free plan; the pricing note lists a 30-day trial and a starting price from $270. Standard and Business licences include one year of updates and email support.
