Ease of onboarding

See it all, onboard it all
Find all types of OSs and network devices and automatically apply the right monitoring and automation. Integrate with Intune and Meraki

Automatic Windows
Automated discovery and onboarding for Windows agents only

Manually add Network devices
Scans the network but doesn’t automatically find network devices

Semi-automatic
Agents must be installed in a managed node, then programmed to scan the devices you need to monitor and manage

Monitoring

Automatic with robust functionality
Wide range of automated monitoring (Windows, Linux, Mac), automatic monitor/device setup, and auto-deployment of service templates

Manual effort required
Templates for common server roles must be manually enabled, and whole-network monitoring is time-consuming

Manual
No automation of monitoring; monitors are mostly manually created, and network monitoring is not automatically applied

Automatic but lacks functionality
Monitoring supports multiple OSs and network devices, but breadth of monitoring functions is limited

Manageability

Easy manageability and scalability
Provides multiple ways to manage a large number of devices and scales as your business grows

Limited scalability
Can automate and scale across three servers, so it is less scalable for larger MSPs

Managable
Can scale a large number devices

Manageable but less flexible
Can scale up to a large number of devices, but with fewer available configurations

Patch management

Patch It all
Patch more, anywhere, anytime, and offline. Patch all bands including out-of-band. Rules and filtering allow for powerful automation

In-band only
Limited patch coverage that doesn't support out-of-band patches

In-band only
Limited coverage with online patching only and no support for out-of-band patches

In-band only
Limited coverage with online patching only and no support for out-of-band patches

No-code automation

No-code automation for all
Automation made easy, with no-code automation and an intuitive drag-and-drop automation builder

Might still require code
Automation scripting engine might require training and scripting talent to create comprehensive policies

Might still require code
Basic automation designer that requires some level of coding expertise

Code required
No scripting designer–requires MSPs to design and script their own automation

Scripting engine

V8 engine
Robust automation out of the box, with 650+ ready-to-use, pre-scanned automation policies

Pedal power
Small list of out-of-the-box scripts available

V6 engine
Community automation exchange forum where you must mine their 600 listings of procedures and monitor sets

V4 engine
Catalog of 263 components built and maintained by Datto

Security

Best-in-class security
Integrates with industry leading SentinelOne EDR, Cove Data Protection, AV, DNS filtering, Email security, password management, and more

Good security but not top of line
Offers Connectwise MDR, Bitdefender and focussed on SOC as a service

Basic security for basic protection
Integrates with Bitdefender and Webroot

Good security but not top of line
Supports some integrations and also has a proprietary solution that isn’t on 2022 MiTRE ATT&CK Results
