What are RMM software capabilities?

The functional components of the RMM system are called RMM tools. General definitions of common RMM tools are listed below.

1. Remote monitoring

Servers, workstations, networks, apps, and other devices in an organization’s IT environment are all continuously monitored by RMM software. It gathers information on network traffic, system health indicators, resource usage, log reports, and performance measurements.

2. Remote management

Enabling the remote management and troubleshooting of IT systems and devices by administrators, including the installation of settings, scripts, patches, and software upgrades.

3. Security management

Providing security capabilities to guard against malware, cyberthreats, and security breaches, such as antivirus management, intrusion detection, and vulnerability screening.

4. Reporting and analytics

Creating analytics and reports to offer information on security posture, compliance status, system performance, and other important parameters.

5. Alerting and notifications

Producing messages and alerts in response to important events, like system malfunctions, declining system performance, security lapses, or other thresholds that have been set.

6. Patch management

Automating the process of updating and patching firmware, operating systems, and software on a variety of devices.

7. Back-up and incident management

Assisting in the backup and recovery processes for disaster recovery and data protection; frequently includes settings for offsite storage, recovery point objectives (RPOs), and recovery time targets (RTOs).

8. Asset management

Enabling the tracking of hardware and software assets, along with information on licenses, warranties, serial numbers, and device specs, through inventory management tools.

Top 5 benefits of RMM software

Software for remote monitoring and management, or RMM, has many advantages for companies, especially those in the IT services sector or any other industry where technology infrastructure plays a major role. The main advantages are listed below.

See RMM benefits for more detailed guidance supported with case studies.

1. Efficiency

RMM software makes IT teams more productive with its automation and centralized management features. They can more efficiently allocate resources, prioritize tasks according to their level of severity, and monitor and manage multiple endpoints at once, which will ultimately save time and lower operating expenses.

2. Automation

Regular maintenance chores like patch management, antivirus scans, software updates, and system optimizations can be automated with RMM software. Businesses can guarantee that their systems are safe, current, and operating at peak efficiency without human intervention by automating these tasks.

3. Proactive monitoring

Businesses can identify and address issues before they become more serious by using RMM software to monitor their IT infrastructure in real-time. This proactive strategy reduces downtime and upholds business continuity.

4. Enhanced security

Strong security features like intrusion detection, firewall management, antivirus software, and vulnerability assessments are frequently included in RMM tools. By continuously monitoring for security threats and vulnerabilities, businesses can strengthen their defenses and protect sensitive data from cyberattacks.

5. Scalability

Easily adding new devices, servers, or networks to monitoring and management systems is made possible by RMM software, which is made to grow with your business. This scalability ensures that businesses can adapt to changing needs and expand their IT infrastructure without outgrowing their management tools.

Top 3 challenges for RMM software

Organizations may face a number of difficulties when putting remote monitoring and management (RMM) software into practice. Here are three key challenges:

1. Integration

It may be difficult to integrate RMM software with the current IT systems, procedures, and resources. It is necessary to ensure compatibility and seamless integration with the current infrastructure, particularly when multiple technologies, protocols, or configurations are involved.

Additionally, it could take time, resources, and organizational change management to modify current workflows and procedures to fit the new RMM solution.

2. Compliance

Organizations must ensure the RMM solution adheres to stringent security standards and compliance requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or industry-specific regulations. 

Implementation and design of security policies are challenging tasks, because they require the implementation of multiple security tools, such as access controls, encryption mechanisms, and authentication protocols, to mitigate security risks and protect against unauthorized access.

3. Resource allocation and training

Businesses need to consider costs regarding deployment, hardware, software, and personnel when adapting to remote monitoring and management software. Employees might need an education when introducing RMM into the network.

Top 3 best practices for RMM software

Following specific best practices is necessary to ensure optimal performance, security, and efficiency when implementing remote monitoring and management (RMM) software. Here are five key best practices for RMM software:

1. Customization

Make sure the RMM software is fully configured and customized to match your organization’s unique needs and specifications. This includes setting up monitoring policies, defining alert thresholds, configuring automation rules, and tailoring reports to align with business objectives.

2. Security protocols and access controls

To secure sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access to the RMM platform, put strong security measures in place. This includes enforcing strong authentication mechanisms, implementing role-based access controls (RBAC), and regularly reviewing user permissions.

While remotely accessing devices over the internet, it is important to encrypt communication channels between the managed endpoints and the RMM software to prevent sensitive information from being intercepted and manipulated.

3. Regular maintenance and updates

To keep the RMM software safe and current, perform routine maintenance procedures, including patch management, database maintenance, and software updates.

Vendor selection criteria

In order to provide an objective evaluation of vendors, we considered publicly verifiable data such as the number of reviews and user ratings on software review platforms. User reviews for pros and cons are selected only if multiple users report the same point.

  • Number of reviews: We included the vendors with more than 135 total user reviews.
  • Average rating: Above 4/5 rating on average across all software review platforms.
  • Endpoint management: RMM software products may facilitate endpoint security by enabling integration with antivirus programs (AVs) or endpoint protection software products. While endpoint security, scanning, and deployment features are included in some of the products in the above table, they are available as add-on features in others. Businesses may take this factor into account in their decision-making process.
  • Price: RMM software products vary in price, and publicly available prices of products are added to the table. Potential users can compare products according to their price and pricing drivers.
  • Pricing driver: The price of products depends on multiple aspects, such as minimum licensing or admin user quantity, device quantity, or domain quantity. Businesses can choose between pricing driver options in accordance with the quantity and admin user quantity.
  • Deployment, compatibility, and mobile application availability: We selected the vendors that deliver cloud-based deployment, multi-operating system compatibility, and mobile application availability.

FAQ

1. What is unified endpoint management (UEM) software?
