The differentiator Termius does not have

Live collaborative SSH sessions, joined via invite link

Pair-debugging a production incident, onboarding a new engineer on a real host, reviewing a deploy with a security analyst - these moments call for a shared SSH session. SecurSSH ships a built-in live viewer: send an invite link and a teammate joins from their SecurSSH desktop app.

Read-only or interactive

Share a session in view-only mode for code review, or grant interactive control for true pair-debugging. Mode switches mid-session.

Cross-platform desktop

Spectators join through an invite link in their SecurSSH desktop app on macOS, Windows or Linux - no extra install if they already use SecurSSH.

Audit-aware

Every join and disconnect is recorded in the team audit log on the Team plan (24-month retention).

Termius equivalent today

No equivalent live session viewer. Screen-sharing tools (Zoom, Slack) work but bypass the audit trail and add latency.

Common questions about switching

What is the best Termius alternative for teams in Europe?

SecurSSH is the leading Termius alternative for European teams, hosted in the EU under GDPR with end-to-end encrypted team vaults, three-tier RBAC, a 24-month audit log, and live session sharing via invite link. Pricing starts at 12 € per user per month - roughly half the cost of Termius Business.

Does Termius support team audit logs and RBAC?

Termius Business offers basic team vaults but limited audit retention and a coarse role model. SecurSSH ships native three-tier RBAC (admin, member, viewer), a 24-month audit log on Team, unlimited retention on Enterprise, and per-vault membership controls - designed from day one for compliance evidence.

How much does SecurSSH cost compared to Termius?

SecurSSH Team is 12 € per user per month versus Termius Business at around $30 per user per month - roughly half the cost, with team vault, multi-vault, RBAC, audit log, and live sessions included. A 50-person team pays €600 / month on SecurSSH versus ~$1,500 / month on Termius.

Does SecurSSH support SSO SAML and SOC 2 today?

Not yet. SSO SAML and SOC 2 Type II are on the roadmap - SOC 2 audit is in progress, no committed certification date. Today, SecurSSH ships native three-tier RBAC, a 24-month audit log on the Team plan, EU-only hosting and a DPA available on request. The formal GDPR kit (template DPA, processing register, DPO support) is rolling out through 2026. We publish status, not promises.
