Understand endpoint management & patching before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is AEM?
Splashtop’s Autonomous Endpoint Management — automatically keep your fleet patched (OS + apps), configured, monitored and secure, at scale.
Manual, lagging patching vs autonomous endpoint management — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unprotected / signature email | AEM (Splashtop) |
|---|---|---|
| Patching | Manual, lagging, incomplete | Automated (OS + apps) |
| Vulnerabilities | Open, exploited | Closed promptly |
| Effort | Heavy manual work | Autonomous, AI-assisted |
| Configuration | Drift, inconsistent | Policy-enforced |
| Fixing issues | Separate remote tool | Integrated remote access |
| Coverage | Some endpoints unmanaged | Whole fleet (affordable) |
| Cost | Expensive RMM/patch tools | <~$1/endpoint/mo |
| The vendor | Heavy/legacy tools | Modern independent specialist |
AEM is autonomous, AI-assisted endpoint management (patch, config, monitor, remediate) with integrated remote access, from <~$1/endpoint/mo — pairs with Splashtop Remote Support. For the deepest mature RMM, compare NinjaOne. TechBag advises honestly.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Discover & Inventory
Discovers and inventories endpoints, covering hardware, software, OS versions and patch status, so you can see the whole fleet you manage.
Patch Automatically
Deploys OS and third-party application patches across the fleet automatically, by policy, closing the known vulnerabilities most attacks exploit.
Enforce Policy
Enforces configuration policies and security baselines across endpoints, so machines stay consistent and drift is corrected.
Monitor & Alert
Monitors endpoint health, patch status and security posture, alerting on missing patches and anomalies, with AI-generated summaries of CVEs.
Remediate & Act
Remediates issues automatically, runs scripts across endpoints, and uses Splashtop remote access to jump onto any machine when hands-on work is needed.
Each endpoint runs one agent and the fleet sits in one console, so new modules plug in without a parallel toolset.
Twelve capabilities. See, patch, automate.
AEM automatically keeps your endpoints patched, configured and secure — autonomously, at scale, with integrated remote access — the endpoint-management product in the Splashtop portfolio.
Endpoint Discovery & Inventory
Discovers and inventories hardware, installed software, OS and patch versions, and configuration across your fleet.
Health & Posture Monitoring
Monitors health, patch status and security posture, so you spot unpatched, misconfigured or unhealthy machines.
Proactive Alerts & AI CVE Summaries
Alerts on missing patches and anomalies, with AI-generated plain-language summaries of CVEs to help prioritise.
Automated OS Patch Management
Deploys operating-system patches across the fleet in real time, by policy, closing OS vulnerabilities promptly.
Third-Party Application Patching
Patches third-party apps such as browsers, PDF readers and Java, which are often exploited and neglected, not just the OS.
Patch Policies & Scheduling
Policies and schedules control which patches go to which groups and when, with staging, balancing security and stability.
Configuration Policy Enforcement
Enforces configuration policies and security baselines across endpoints and automatically corrects configuration drift.
Automated Remediation
Fixes missing patches, misconfigurations and alerts automatically through policies, triggered actions and scripts.
Remote Scripting & Mass Actions
Runs scripts, commands and tasks across many endpoints at once in the background, to fix issues or deploy software.
Integrated Remote Access
Integrated Splashtop remote access lets you jump from AEM onto any endpoint to investigate and fix it hands-on.
Affordable Per-Endpoint Licensing
Licensed per endpoint from under ~$1/endpoint/month, cheaper than many dedicated RMM and patch tools.
Standalone or Splashtop Add-On
Use AEM standalone, or as an add-on to Splashtop Remote Support or Enterprise to add management to remote access.

Here’s what genuinely sets Splashtop AEM apart.
Unpatched endpoints are the biggest risk — patching must be automated
Most breaches exploit known vulnerabilities whose patches were available but not applied. Patching a whole fleet by hand misses machines and lags behind, so AEM automates it: real-time, policy-driven patching of operating systems and third-party apps across every endpoint.
Autonomous & AI-assisted — manage endpoints at scale with less effort
IT teams are stretched and can’t patch, configure and fix endpoints one by one. AEM is autonomous: IT sets policies, and it deploys patches, enforces baselines, corrects drift and remediates issues itself, with AI summaries of CVEs to help prioritise. IT oversees and handles exceptions.
Management + remote access, together — a natural Splashtop fit
Endpoint work needs both automation and hands-on access. AEM integrates Splashtop remote access, so you can go from an alert straight onto the machine. It is often added to Splashtop Remote Support, giving unattended access, endpoint management and on-demand support (SOS) from one vendor.
Affordable endpoint management — value at scale
Endpoint management has to cover every machine, so per-endpoint cost adds up, and expensive tools tempt teams to leave some unmanaged. AEM is priced from under ~$1/endpoint/month, cheaper than many dedicated RMM and patch tools, so full-fleet coverage stays affordable, and MSPs keep better margins.
From an independent specialist — modern management, growing capability
AEM comes from Splashtop, an independent, privately held remote-connectivity specialist, and is a newer, automation-first product. It fits with Business Access, SOS and Remote Support. As a still-growing offering, it may not yet match the depth of mature RMM platforms such as NinjaOne in every area.
The honest scope
AEM automates patching, configuration, monitoring and remediation, with integrated remote access, from under ~$1/endpoint/month. The space has mature players: NinjaOne, ConnectWise, Kaseya, N-able, Atera, Action1, Automox, Tanium. AEM may not match the deepest RMM platforms on breadth, but suits Splashtop users.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Automated OS and third-party patching closed the gaps we couldn’t keep up with manually. Patch compliance is now near-complete.”
“We already used Splashtop Remote Support, so adding AEM let us manage and remote onto endpoints in one tool.”
“We have no security analyst, so the AI CVE summaries help our small team understand and prioritise vulnerabilities fast.”
“At under a dollar an endpoint we can manage our entire fleet, instead of leaving machines unmanaged to save cost.”
“Policy-driven configuration and auto-remediation cut our manual endpoint work a lot. We set policies; it keeps endpoints in line.”
“NinjaOne is more mature in some areas, but for patching tied to our Splashtop remote support, at the price, AEM won.”
“Mass scripting lets us deploy software and fix issues across hundreds of endpoints at once.”
“Affordable per-endpoint pricing improved our MSP margins while keeping clients patched. TechBag handled India licensing.”
