Barracuda RMM vs. Norton Small Business

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.

We are a small company; Norton Small Business gives us the freedom for our remote employees to work securely using their personal laptop /smartphone. Less appropriate: Someone with a few separate locations that require separate cybersecurity environment but would still benefit from centralized management.

• 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.

• In term of pricing
• In term of Advanced threat protection

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.

We did not actively consider any other software. Overall we did do a basic understanding of a pricing & features and found that the offerings from Symantec were better than others even prima facie. At the current time for an organisation such as ours we do not believe that there is any other option worth active consideration

• 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.
