IT entire network

\*TeamViewer creates a parallel authentication path, allowing compromised shared passwords. Agilicus strictly uses existing single sign on (Entra, Okta, Google, ...).

## The Fundamental Difference

The choice between Agilicus and TeamViewer is a choice between a **Complete Zero Trust Platform** and a **Legacy Remote Desktop Tool**. A choice between authorisation to a single resource, or to all resources at once. A choice between fine-grained audit and all-or-nothing.

### Agilicus AnyX (Zero Trust)

Seamless Single Sign-On (Okta, Entra, Google Workspace). 
Single-resource authorisation.

Browser-based VNC and RDP. Full audit trails to your SIEM via Webhook. No shared passwords.

![icon-server](https://www.agilicus.com/www/fc8d0a94-icon-server.svg.svg)    

### TeamViewer (Legacy)

Niche remote desktop platform. Often acts as a shadow-IT backdoor. Uses alternate authentication systems leading to shared credentials and security vulnerabilities.

Agilicus AnyX is a complete Zero Trust Network Access platform, comprising authentication, authorisation, audit, access. One of AnyX’ core features is the ability to remotely use a remote graphical environment, via both Remote Desktop Protocol, and VNC. These are available via a browser, or via a native client, and incorporate Agilicus’ trademark simple, seamless, single-sign-on via your existing identity providers, for your staff, your partners, with optional multi-factor authentication.

TeamViewer Germany GmbH’ product, TeamViewer**®**, is a means of providing remote desktop access for support purposes. Since it overlaps with the specific remote graphical environment feature in Agilicus AnyX, it is often the niche legacy platfom being compared by customers seeking to upgrade their security to Zero Trust, a comparison accelerated by the [attack](https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa21-042a) on the Oldsmar water treatment facility via TeamViewer.
