Overview

Datto RMM is Kaseya's cloud-based remote monitoring and management platform for Windows and Mac endpoints, built to work natively with Autotask PSA and Datto BCDR while also running standalone against other PSA tools.

From the vendor

Datto RMM is a cloud-based remote monitoring and management platform, part of Kaseya's Datto product line, aimed at MSPs managing Windows and Mac endpoints across many clients from one console. It handles patch management, monitoring policies, scripting through a component library, and software deployment, and it includes ransomware detection and ScreenConnect-based remote access as standard rather than as separate purchases. It suits MSPs that already use, or are considering, Autotask PSA and Datto BCDR, since the three products share client, ticket and asset data with each other, though Datto RMM also runs standalone against other PSAs without that hand-off.

Pricing is per managed endpoint per month, quoted directly by a Kaseya account manager rather than published, and it is usually sold on an annual contract. Datto RMM integrates natively with Autotask and IT Glue, so device data and tickets flow between the three products without a separate connector to configure, and with Datto BCDR so backup jobs and alerts sit alongside a client's other RMM data. It also connects to third-party PSA, documentation and security tools through webhooks and a REST API for MSPs not standardised on the full Kaseya stack. Datto RMM traces back to Datto, founded in 2007 and now part of Kaseya, and it runs on Windows and Mac endpoints with a web console for the technician side, so there is no native Linux agent to plan around. Anyone comparing it against a standalone RMM should get a written quote for their device count and confirm the length of the annual contract before signing, since Kaseya's sales process is quote-only.

Our take

Datto RMM makes most sense for an MSP that is already running, or seriously considering, Autotask PSA and Datto BCDR, since the native hand-off between the three is the main reason to pick it over a lighter standalone RMM. It still works against other PSAs through its API, so it is not a hard requirement. Because pricing is quote-only and contracts are usually annual, get the full first-year cost in writing, including any bundling discount with Autotask or BCDR, before comparing it against NinjaOne or ConnectWise RMM. Confirm your ransomware detection and remote access needs are covered by what ships as standard rather than a paid add-on.

FAQ

What does Datto RMM integrate with?
Datto RMM integrates with Autotask, IT Glue, Datto BCDR.
Is Datto RMM cloud or on-premises?
Datto RMM is available as cloud.
Does Datto RMM require Autotask PSA to work?

No. Datto RMM runs standalone and integrates with third-party PSA platforms through webhooks and a REST API, so an MSP does not have to run Autotask to use it. The native, pre-built integration with Autotask and Datto BCDR is the main reason MSPs already on those products choose Datto RMM, since ticket and asset data pass between all three without a separate connector, but it is not a requirement to get started.

Is Datto RMM sold on a monthly or annual contract?

Datto RMM is typically sold on an annual contract, quoted directly by a Kaseya account manager rather than published on the website. Pricing is per managed endpoint per month, billed under that annual agreement, and often discounted when bundled with Autotask PSA or Datto BCDR. MSPs should ask for the full first-year cost and contract length in writing before comparing it with a month-to-month RMM.

What remote access tool does Datto RMM use?

Datto RMM includes ScreenConnect-based remote access built in, rather than requiring a separate remote support product. ScreenConnect is also sold as its own standalone tool by ConnectWise, so MSPs already familiar with it from another product will recognise the interface. This is bundled into the Datto RMM agent rather than priced or licensed separately.

Does Datto RMM include ransomware detection?

Yes, built-in ransomware detection is part of the core Datto RMM agent rather than a separate add-on. It runs alongside the standard patch management, scripting and monitoring features. MSPs should still confirm with their account manager exactly what the detection covers and how it fits alongside any dedicated EDR product they run, since it is not a replacement for a full endpoint detection and response platform.
