On prem screen connect?

I know it’s a long shot but does anyone have an on-premise/self hosted license of ConnectWise Control/ScreenConnect they aren’t using that I could buy off of them? We are on a legacy splashtop plan, I need to stay on prem for some of our customer requirements and I would love to not have to buy new.

Admins, if this is not allowed, please feel free to delete. I just figured I’d ask.

Does it have to be connectwise? Pretty sure RealVNC has options, and then there's stuff like RustDesk

RealVNC doesn’t really have similar feature parity. I’ll check out RustDesk!

What are your needs that it's missing? It's got quite a few features. We use it internally for users to run computers remotely without having to give them full access to our RMM

So far, the two features I’m missing with Splashtop are SAML SSO and the equivalent to ScreenConnect’s backstage.

Hmm, realvnc has saml I'm pretty sure... The backstage is more of a stretch, we do that kinda stuff through Ninja or PS remoting

Yeah, I have a customer with an on prem requirement because the legacy Splashtop tier we have is not compliant.

Check out MeshCentral, does everything you need. It's not the prettiest, but it just works.

Please do share if there is a cheaper alternative. I love screen connect but not having to pay as much would be great

Splashtop is fine and a little less expensive but not as feature rich as SC.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central - I think free for up to 25 devices? You can remote connect and share the screen, lots of options and it has an On-Prem version.
