SolarWinds Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM) is a cloud-based system monitoring offering for Managed Service Providers. It provides a full monitoring and management suite, including automation and threat detection capabilities, and can integrate with other SolarWinds products.
Intune has lots of powerful tools, but is obviously limited to Windows devices. It's also limited to a single tenant, so for an MSP, a tool like N-able N-sight RMM makes way more sense - all clients and devices are managed by a single tool with an integrated interface. The Take …
Ultimately, we chose to stay with N-able N-sight due to their competitive pricing and billing system that we integrated into our accounting. The other competitors do offer better-made modules/new technology, but we were not ready to make this big move because of the cost. In …
SolarWinds provided the easiest entry into the RMM game, requiring a smaller upfront commitment, great tools, and the best early experience with sales reps, engineers, and onboarding.
Recently evaluated NinjaOne and was very impressed. Have been with the (original) N-able RMM tool for nearly a decade, but considering a switch. NinjaOne's interface is very modern and slick. Lots of great features and integrations.
Single pane of glass for the majority of applications from Web Protect to Patch Management and Antivirus.

Chose N-able N-sight RMM
Solarwinds RMM is designed as a tool for Remote Monitoring. The other guys have their RMM as a platform to sell their other products. With SolarWinds RMM, you don't get hassled to buy another part of the program or put your entire business into their ecosystem. It's a program …
I chose SolarWinds for its easy-to-use HUB, for payments, but also for all technical features which other programs don't show. It's done well with all the releases (agents for mac, windows, and Linux OS).
We only tested an older version of LabTech. By comparison, the newer version of LabTech is much more competitive to Solarwinds RMM than it used to be. ConnectWise Automate has far better integration options for our PSA than Solarwinds RMM, down to very granular changes for …
SolarWinds definitely is the the most ready out of the box as far as getting is up and running and you can start using it where other system go from need ing a little setup like importing MIBS to completely needing to configure the system. As far a performance once things are …
SolarWinds offers more customization out of the box and allows us to build the monitoring environment to the specifications we require. We are not locked into a specific tool set with no customization options.
We moved away from Kaseya to Max Focus, which later became SolarWinds. At the time we were having lots of issues using Kaseya, with failed alerting as well as reporting. SolarWinds (Max Focus) addressed our issues. As a small MSP, the dashboard panel is intuitive, allowing the …
LabTech didn't offer as many tools as SW RMM at the time I was using it. LogMeIn is one of the worst tools I had to use, I got feed-up with the fact that I always had to provide a username and password to connect to a PC. TeamViewer is not quite the product SW RMM is.
It gives you the ability to control your setup without over-complicating things. You have the option to set up in your own environment, whether it's a public cloud or on-premise, or you can use their hosted solution. Some of the other RMMs may not allow the flexibility to do …
Solarwinds RMM is very easy to use and can be managed with very little training. All other RMM tools tested were overly complicated and did not fit our current business needs. We were able to implement this solution to all our customers within 3 months of our start date and …
It's great for the basics of device management for Windows PCs, I wouldn't recommend it for Mac other than asset management. The patch management and monitoring templates are helpful for the day-to-day, and the "Take Control" feature for remote assistance allows us to provide fast service to clients - we often are on a machine within 5 minutes of receiving a ticket.
It provides fantastic remote access capabilities. The Take Control tool gives us a robust platform that is capable of remote controlling almost any endpoint we need to and the chat, file transfer, and screen recording tools are all exceptionally useful.
SolarWinds RMM is particularly useful as a single pane of glass solution that allows us to monitor and manage thousands of endpoints across dozens of different clients. It does a solid job of allowing us to sort, organize, and filter based off of who and what we want to see at any given time.
Due to its client based nature, the platform excels at in-depth monitoring of services, event logs, and the functionality of systems with custom script checks.
The interface is easy to navigate. Setting up policies is straight forward. The antivirus and web filter are simple and exceptions are easy to make. Upgrading the agent is made simple and creating scripts is made fool proof. (Well, almost)
The ease of use, full functionality, reliability and excellent support.[N-able RMM (formerly Solarwinds RMM)] gives users a full suite of tools with a single installable file. Unlike standard tools, you don't have to install several different executables to be able to have fully protected end points.
Ultimately, we chose to stay with N-able N-sight due to their competitive pricing and billing system that we integrated into our accounting. The other competitors do offer better-made modules/new technology, but we were not ready to make this big move because of the cost. In the future, perhaps, we will still consider NinjaOne.
The ROI is immediate for us. The advanced alerting alone makes this product an ace in our bag. The confidence you have in your network is wonderful.
Another big ROI we get from the advanced alerting is the peace of mind that our engineers feel. We are a 24/7 shop, so being on-call goes from being hectic to extremely manageable.
The only negative I can honestly say is when the time comes to patch the product. Micro-patches are easy enough, but jumping versions can be a bit taxing.
