Shockey Monkey Remote is an agent-based application that allows you to remotely monitor and view your users desktops, collect inventory information, receive alerts when the system goes down and collect event logs from managed systems. After over two weeks of very thorough testing, we are excited to make the beta available free of charge to all Shockey Monkey users.

Check out what it can do for you right now:

Remote Desktop – Remotely view and control your users Windows PC and support them in realtime. Remote view is based on the VNC technology and works really well over low-bandwidth connections.

Downtime Alerts – Instantly see which systems under your control are down.

Full Event Log Collection – Windows Event Logs include everything from hardware problems to software issues. Know before your users do and help them address it.

Asset Inventory – Know exactly what kind of hardware is out there, which software version is installed on it and help track your assets better, automatically.

Autoupdates – Beta will automatically update as fixes are rolled out. You don’t have to manage agents out in the field, all you have to do is install them.

Here are a few sneak peaks:

Of course, the true power of the solution only comes out when it’s integrated with the way you work and when the users are aware of it. This is a consumer RMM of sorts, we think managers and business owners will rely on it to access their office PCs from home and more. All while relying on your Shockey Monkey portal.

Development Roadmap Update

First of all, the big news this month is that we have a new office dedicated to Shockey Monkey and helping the platform grow.

We will be spending the rest of December perfecting the Shockey Monkey Remote software and planning to have a full stable release ready around Christmas. We are also continuing to tweak the iPad (iOS/Safari) interface so that the full functionality of Shockey Monkey is present on tables. As for native applications for the iPhone, iPad, Desktop app and the like – we have a new developer joining us this week to continue working on those exclusively.

All in all, it has been a tremendous year for Shockey Monkey. Thank you for helping us grow it and huge thanks to those of you who upgraded to the Pro version that helps us fund the development and push Shockey Monkey forward.

Happy Holiday Season, keep your eyes on our blog for the cool new things coming out around the holidays!
