Where each tool fits, and where it may not

Splashtop Remote Support

Splashtop Remote Support is a remote desktop solution perfect for helpdesks, IT professionals, and MSPs (Managed Service Providers). It’s a reliable software designed to assist users in remotely supporting the servers and computer of their clients. It allows the deployment of both attended and unattended support. The software provides remote access and support from your laptops and computers, mobile devices or even Chromebook. It can be easily deployed to units that need support, with the option of making your own deployment package which could then be sent to clients for installation. User groups with full control over access and privilege can be created. There’s also no issue in security as Splashtop encrypts every remote session while also providing firewall, device authentication, multi-level password, and other security features to your computers and servers. Splashtop technology powers various RMMs’ remote control function for fluid unattended support. Examples of said remote monitoring and management platforms that this software integrates with include Ninja, RSA, Atera, MS Active Directory, ServiceNow, and Naverisk. It also provides lightweight integration capabilities for third-party apps that don’t have built-in Splashtop support. There are two packages available for this software, namely Remote Support Plus and Remote Support Premium. Both of which is billed annually. The basic version starts at $25/month while the premium plan starts at $40/month. A free trial is available.

Questions to answer before switching

  • Does Splashtop Remote Support's selected plan include the features and limits we need?
  • Does Unthread's selected plan include the features and limits we need?
  • Does the exact integration path for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear support the sync direction, permissions, and volume we need?
  • Is a hosted-only deployment acceptable for the team and customers who will use this system?

How to evaluate this shortlist

A useful comparison turns the differences between Customer Support tools into a concrete test. Use these steps to avoid choosing from a feature table or the lowest headline price alone.

  1. Start with a representative Customer Support workflow, not a feature checklist. Define who will use it, what data goes in, and what outcome the team needs.
  2. Test the complete path through Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear: permissions, sync direction, failure handling, and volume limits often matter more than the integration name.
  3. Compare the cost of the real scenario, including users, usage, storage, support, and contract requirements. The entry price alone does not measure adoption cost.
  4. Before switching, list the evidence gaps, request a demo of the critical workflow, and confirm security, data residency, export, and support with each vendor.

Structured signals help narrow the shortlist, but a trial with a real workflow is still the best way to validate the decision.
