What's a good secure RMM these days for a small company?

*This is not for an MSP. Coming from working for an MSP, the best reviews for RMM are here.

Looking for a comprehensive RMM that would allow a small company to have up to 20 ticketing users, remote access, and 3rd party patching. We looked at Ninja and it seems to fit what they want to do at $13k/year but I’m concerned about security between their tenants. I’m fully familiar with ConnectWise but unfortunately the ticketing was cost prohibitive and they can’t use it if they want to keep their MSP. Because the MSP uses ConnectWise, ConnectWise does not offer a “Automate” dashboard solution for MSP clients to use if they want to co-manage through a single RMM tool, or so I’ve been told by CW rep.

Because of past breaches they want to stay away from Solarwinds and Kaseya.

We recently switched to Ninja & are happy with it after demoing both Connectwise & Syncro. What makes you concerned about Ninja’s security?

Altera or just use Microsoft suite/package and ignore rmm all together

There’s a community spreadsheet floating around here that has every RMM layed out with all of the featuresets. I’m not around my PC to find it but if someone else could post it or if you go searching, you should be able to find it. Fantastic resource that’ll give you a good analysis of what’s out there.

Hello :slight_smile: If you have any specific questions that you’d like to ask about our security I’ll quite happily get you setup with a 1 to 1 with one of our security team. Just PM me and I’ll get it organised.

Look into Atera. For a small company like yours, it may be a great solution at a relatively low cost.

MeshCentral for RMM and FreeScout for tickets. MC doesn’t do 3rd party patching though, but they’re both free and FOSS.

Remotely is a pretty interesting option. Free + open source, don’t think it does patching tho.

Not for an MSP, but I recently got Pulseway to manage my home infrastructure. Pricing is about $40 a month for 20 endpoints and 10 BitDefender Endpoint licenses

Was using Ninja now moved over to Action1. Managing about 10 clients. Remote control, patch, software deployment all free for up to 100 endpoints.

We have some clients with IT people that have access to our Automate, scoped down to just the company they work for. They maintain their own ticketing system (Jira or SpiceWorks or WebHelpDesk, as I recall) but we’ve given them access to Automate. Works out great, though to my knowledge they don’t really use it much or know it well enough to get a lot out of it.

Are there any good RMM that can be run local (cloudless) other than ConnectWise?

SyncroMSP could fit the bill

Charges per technician with no minimums , has a strong scripting engine and they just revamped their windows update engine. It also includes splashtop (msp version)

I would put it neck and neck with Ninja in terms of RMM features. Ninja has a nicer looking interface but I feel the scripting engine is stronger on SyncroMSP.

Here is a ref link to a trial (and a $500 gift card if you go forward with it):

Have you guys ever thought about partnering with an MSP for a comanaged space? We have several clients we resell a part of our instance of Manage, Command, IT Glue, and BrightGauge.

Recently got my org on Syncro and I’m really liking it so far. We have a somewhat different environment in that we have a ton of devices but only a few people that need true access to all of them, the pricing model per tech made it very attractive for us.

NinjaOne for RMM

Freshservice for Ticketing, because the Ticketing of ninja is Just at the beginning and Not aß good aß IT could be.

Very happy with both Tools.

If you’re not an MSP use intune and teamviewer.

Or NinjaOne if you feel the above is missing features.

You could look at naverisk. I’d suggest it’s not as mature as the other products but they are working on it

The MSP can give you access to both Automate and Manage using “streamline IT”.

We set many MSPs up with the setup so their co-managed clients get the benefits of both products also.

For internal IT, while it isn’t as integrated use a ticketing system if you must have a separate ticketing system from your MSP, you could use something cheap like zoho or spiceworks, etc, but for management, go business premium on m365 and use intune, windows autopilot and etc. There isn’t anything you couldn’t manage and/or configure through the way the ecosystem is now. Azure AD and different features that integrate have come a long way, even to the point you could deploy and centrally manage a EDR solution with Defender for business options. I think you are barking up the wrong tree for internal IT, you aren’t an MSP, why try and tool like one.

What about N-Able RMM (named N-sight now).
Full suite of products, take control, patch management, remote background (ps, CMD, etc)?

We use it at work for nearly 300 clients, 1000 servers, nearly 3k endpoints.

It’s pretty good for the price.
