Introducing our Remote Control Public Beta

Katherine Little 31 Jul 2020

Get an exclusive first look into our new service

We’re excited to announce the Public Beta of our newest service in the Avast Business Multi-tenant Management Console - the Remote Control. 

The Avast Business Remote Control was designed to help IT administrators provide instant remote support to their users anytime, anywhere. With this tool, IT admins can quickly and securely connect to a user’s device, access files and applications, and help troubleshoot issues in real time – saving both time and money.

The Public Beta is an opportunity for you to test and evaluate our newest service. Since this is a beta, not everything will be perfect, but your feedback will help us better prepare for the upcoming official launch. 

What should you expect during the beta?

During the beta, you will have access to the Basic Remote Control version with unlimited sessions and duration. After the beta concludes, you will have free access to the Basic Remote Control service. If you need additional sessions, you will have the option to upgrade to the Premium version.  

For the complete list of features and benefits, download the datasheet.
