ITarian Remote Desktop vs Liongard

ITarian Remote Desktop lets technicians connect to customer devices, troubleshoot issues and take remote control from a centralized platform. It supports attended connections, where a user is present to approve the request, and unattended access to managed endpoints. Technicians can control screens in real time, switch between multiple displays, transfer files, and manage remote files, processes, services and command-line operations. Remote sessions can be linked to ITarian service requests, tickets, troubleshooting and resolution records. ITarian describes sessions as using confirmation, encrypted connections, authentication and session controls; its Remote Access tool uses peer-to-peer connections with the secure RTP protocol. The product supports Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with mobile apps. The Free Remote Desktop plan is listed at free and includes unlimited administrators and free remote access. To manage an endpoint, ITarian must also be installed there. For each connection, the remote user must approve the request, and the session password is valid only for that session. ITarian says its platform is built for managed service providers delivering IT services across multiple customers.
