Splashtop Remote Support vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

Splashtop Remote Support is a comprehensive remote support, remote access, and endpoint management platform designed to help IT teams securely troubleshoot, monitor, manage, and support computers and mobile devices across distributed environments. The platform provides both attended and unattended remote access capabilities for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices, allowing technicians to connect quickly through session codes or managed endpoint access. Splashtop enables IT professionals to remotely control devices, perform troubleshooting, elevate sessions to administrator privileges, reboot and reconnect systems, access background management tools, and collaborate with multiple technicians during support sessions. The platform includes built-in communication tools such as in-session chat and voice calls that improve interaction between technicians and end users during remote support workflows. Splashtop also integrates with major PSA ticketing and IT service management platforms including Zendesk, Freshservice, Freshdesk, Jira, Spiceworks, and Microsoft Teams, helping organizations streamline ticket handling, workflow automation, and support operations. In addition to remote support, the platform offers Autonomous Endpoint Management features that allow businesses to automate patch management, deploy software updates, monitor device health, manage vulnerabilities, track hardware and software inventory, and enforce centralized endpoint policies across distributed systems. Splashtop places strong emphasis on security through end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, endpoint MFA, IP whitelisting, session audit logging, cloud recording, secure cloud and on-premises hosting, and compliance with standards such as SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR.

Admin By Request EPM lets users elevate only what a task needs, without keeping local admin rights switched on permanently. For longer work there's a time-limited Admin Session, and for a one-off there's Run As Admin, which elevates a single application and nothing else. Approvals go through the portal, mobile app, or API, and software you already trust can be waved through automatically with pre-approval and AI and Machine Learning auto-approval. Because privileges are set per user or group, a developer, an office worker, and an outside contractor each get an approach that suits them. It covers Windows, macOS, and Linux, comes with auditing and inventory as standard, and needs no extra infrastructure to run.
