Barracuda RMM vs. Datto RMM

It is very good for Managed Service Providers to be able to monitor and manage multiple clients at a time from one central location. Many things can be automated through it so that they don't require your constant attention. It would not be as appropriate for internal use at a company, is more suited for MSP's.

Very well suited for MSPs, which is where we are being allowed to use it from. Quite cheap compared to some competitors, too. It's an all-around useful tool for managing your users and their machines for keeping things up to date, tracking specs, and troubleshooting.

• Agentless, unlike most RMM, you don't need to download and install an agent on the devices. The onsite manager (OM) will scan the entire domain for computers, network devices, printers, etc.
• Remote access: Users have to select whether to access shared screen or via RDP.
• Detail Dashboard Information: it has a very reach feature that displays information about system components.

Incentivized

• Remotely view servers and end users systems and specifications.
• Remotely apply updates and instllations for servers and end user systems.
• Connect to user sessions for servers and end users systems.

• It can be hard to use at first glance
• Does not work well on weak and old laptops
• Otherwise everything is perfect

• Their hardware was terrible. We had one product fail four times in 3 months, another fail twice in six months. Same client.
• The RMM is poorly coded, designed and implemented.
• Autotask was a decent integration until the integration failed and couldn't be resolved.

In my opinion, Datto RMM fails at almost everything you throw at it.

We've tried many times to work with support to accomplish various tasks in the system with minimal responsiveness and success. Most of what we have accomplished has been without support and through trial/error.

• Barracuda Managed Workplace definitely handles live notifications better then Lansweeper.
• We currently use Lansweeper for Software Deployment and Patch Management
• Nagios has better visuals for network layout and heartbeat monitoring
• We are assessing TeamViewer/AnyDesk now for better Remote Desktop support. But Barracuda does handle this task very well and we wouldn't be put out to continue using Barracuda for this.

Our previous system was N-able RMM and while it was a good tool, the current version of Datto RMM has been better in most aspects. I personally have not used N-able in a few years and would not be able to go into too much detail about how they currently compare

• It has really helped us in reporting. We need to show our customers that our monitoring is helping them and the reports are very helpful in doing that.

• Excellent tool to help resolve client issues quickly!
• The developers are always trying to increase the value of the product, and it is making a difference.
