Chose Datto RMM
The user interface from Datto RMM is great and the demo looked good.

The moment we got it in our hands it was nothing but problems for us.
Chose Datto RMM
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.
Chose Datto RMM
I feel like we only scratched the surface with what Connectwise Automate (formerly LabTech) could do. I don't remember seeing Connectwise have the ability to auto-update or install apps automatically for you from a selection of managed apps. I do love the simplicity of …
Chose Datto RMM
Both Datto and SolarWinds leave a lot to be desired but from a technological aspect, but SolarWinds products are substantially better. At least when they aren't being hacked. SolarWinds was an intuitive design with some decent features that made management much more seamless …
Chose Datto RMM
Unlike other RMMs, Datto does not require a scripting expert or level 3 engineer in order to set up and for its daily use. I see the ComStore, where you'll find a great amount of pre-made and tested scripts, as one of its greatest strenghts. You'll typically find what you need …

With Panda Systems Management I liked partnership management, business policy management and product quality more
Chose Panda Systems Management
Much easier solution to use (by a ten fold), very intuitive user interface even for inexperience users... does not require on prem server because is cloud based.
Chose Panda Systems Management
Panda is a bit of a greatest hits between some of these other things. I feel like GoToAssist has a stronger remote support option, but Panda is more convenient. Kaseya has a ton of features, but from an ease of use standpoint, Panda seems stronger. Spiceworks has a fine …

Datto RMMPanda Systems Management
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

It's fantastic for anyone who needs to manage a large number of remote users' hardware. It gives such great visibility into hardware and software. You can remotely access pretty much anything on a computer, from event logs to PowerShell to the computer's serial number. If you're looking for a simple remote desktop or inventory, this might be overkill, and there are better options in those markets. However, if you are looking for a Swiss army knife of remote computer management, this is as good as it gets.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Remote desktop - while it's solid, there's definitely some room for improvement regarding speed. It's also common to get disconnected but it's easy to reconnect immediately.
  • I'd love to see better patch management. It's a battle we've been fighting for a while and had us seeking out other vendors.
  • I feel like there could be more alignment between the website and the application. I find myself going to one or the other for specific info.

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

We rate and recommend Panda Systems Management not only because it is a very effective and very cost effective solution that pays itself for us (ROI) extremely fast, but also due to all reason described previously and possibly a few more I'm sure we missed here. I do have to says tech support for this solution sometimes leave a bit to be desired.
