Where TechSavve RMM is different
No agents to roll out
Place one collector at each customer site and add devices by discovery, import or by hand. Nothing is installed on the servers, PCs and network gear it monitors.
Your server, your data
Run it on your own Linux server, or on Windows for a small office, so customer data stays where you put it. Or have DFWTechPros host it for you.
RMM and PSA in one
Alerts become tickets with SLAs; time and invoices live next to them. Or link tickets to the PSA you already use.
Hypervisors and clouds included
vCenter, Hyper-V, Proxmox and KVM hosts, and AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and five more clouds, with every machine on them found and monitored.
When Datto RMM may suit you better
You already use Autotask, IT Glue or Datto backup and want them from one vendor.
You would rather not run a server of your own at all.
Questions
Can I move from Datto RMM to TechSavve RMM?
Yes. The Getting started page reads your customers, sites and devices from Datto RMM's API once, shows a preview, and only then creates them. The API key is not stored.
We use Autotask. Can we keep it?
Yes. TechSavve can link every ticket to Autotask both ways, or you can use TechSavve's own tickets, time tracking and invoices instead.
