MeshCentral vs Naverisk

MeshCentral is an open-source, self-hosted web application for remote management of computers. From a browser, users can reach managed systems’ desktops and terminals, and download, upload, rename, or organize their files. Support sessions can include text chat and, when WebRTC is available, video chat. Administration tools include Wake-on-LAN, remote power management, TCP and UDP port forwarding, and activity logs. Multiple users and tenants can work with separate permissions across device groups. With Intel AMT, supported computers can be powered on remotely, accessed at BIOS level, and managed while their operating system is unavailable. MeshCentral supports Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, and web browsers, with file transfer, session recording, and mobile apps. Installation uses Node.js and npm; the default database is NeDB, while MongoDB is suggested for advanced users. Security options listed include two-factor authentication, FIDO2 hardware keys, TLS 1.3, and optional database record encryption. It can retrieve configuration and secrets from HashiCorp Vault. The project uses the Apache 2.0 license and offers a free plan.

Naverisk is an IT services automation suite combining remote monitoring and management (RMM), Service Desk, professional services automation (PSA), and data protection. It is designed for MSPs and IT professionals, with cloud or on-premise hosting options. RMM supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and SNMP devices, and tasks can be launched manually, on demand, in response to events, or on a schedule across devices and customers. Service Desk provides ticket collaboration and routing, technician scheduling, and knowledge documentation at site and device level. PSA covers contracts, projects, automated billing, and business intelligence reporting. Arma Data Protection describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, two-factor authentication, and air-gapped immutable storage. The mobile app handles tickets and alerts; iOS device-management support is described as coming soon. Naverisk advertises 24/7 global support at no additional cost. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available. The listed starting price is $110/mo; Microsoft 365 backups are listed at $0.50 a month per user, with Wasabi storage costs excluded.
