QAssist

QAssist is a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) tool for managing desktops, terminals, servers, and Kubernetes clusters from a single interface. It is described as providing remote control and desktop management from anywhere, with a focus on reducing the need to juggle multiple IT assets.

Its features include on-demand machine management on cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS, switching between desktops and terminals, multi-user access with multiple roles and ACLs, and a set of configuration options that includes Wake-on-LAN and Remote App. It also supports file transfer for uploading or downloading files from remote machines, auto-login that signs in without exposing usernames or passwords, and supported protocols including RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, and Kubernetes. The pricing section states that on-demand provisioning with Azure and AWS is available on the Starter and Professional plans, and that GCloud integration is planned.

The service is delivered through a web app and a separate machine bridge that allows the web app to communicate with machines. The FAQ says communication between the web browser and the bridge is encrypted. The pricing page describes three monthly plans: Hobby at £8 per month, Starter at £12 per month, and Professional at £59 per month. Hobby supports up to 3 machines, 1 stored credential per machine, and 1 share link per machine; Starter supports up to 15 machines, up to 3 stored credentials per machine, up to 3 share links per machine, collaboration with 5 team members, on-demand provisioning with Azure and AWS, a self-hosted machine bridge, and file transfer; Professional supports up to 100 machines, up to 10 stored credentials per machine, up to 10 share links per machine, unlimited team members, on-demand provisioning with Azure and AWS, a self-hosted machine bridge, file transfer, and Wake-on-LAN. The pricing page also mentions yearly billing with 10% off and says custom or enterprise licensing is available on request.
