Datto Remote Monitoring and Management vs TeamViewer Remote Management comparison

"We support nine different nonprofits, and the billing took the manager three or four days working on spreadsheets. When I finished automating everything with Datto, we cut everything down to a couple of hours. That's a substantial cost savings on the billing side."

"The remote tool is nice. If a user needs assistance, I don't have to tell the user to do anything. I just ask the user if I can remote in, and 30 seconds later, I have remoted in. It has been really handy."

"I also like how Datto integrates seamlessly with the Autotask ticketing system."

"Even when the connection to the server is lost, the monitoring continues without interruption."

"The project management and task management features work well. It's a decent product in that regard."

"AEM support is great for Macs."

"It has a single pane of glass, and it integrates well with other software."

"The tool's main valuable features are its ease of use and intuitive console. It's very easy to implement and create policies. I don't need highly technical staff to manage the tool, which is a big advantage."

"Almost all the features are valuable to me, like the scalable feature and its highly interactive software."

"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."

"The product is very stable."

"It's stable and reliable."

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management was very simple."

"It's considered a trusted application."

"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."

"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."

"The only area where I see room for improvement is the ability to delay the application of patches for a set number of days."

"They have a tab to provide information about the type of hardware the computers have. One thing they don't specify is what model of hard drive the computers have. Identification of storage models would be nice."

"Sometimes we have some downtime when Datto is doing updates. Maybe it's because of the cloud service they use. I'm not sure if they're going through AWS or Azure or what. That's happened, but the outages have been few and far between."

"The CRM capabilities are not very good. It's clunky and could work a lot better than it does. There are no marketing add-ins, for example."

"Be prepared to spend a lot of time on conversions if you have a lot of clients."

"I would like the ability to remotely manage configuration and settings on individual units. Some organizations have a certain device configuration that needs to be consistent across all computers. For example, if we have computers that cannot go to sleep or hibernate because they're being accessed remotely, we need to be able to quickly configure those computers to not hibernate. With Datto, there is no easy and/or direct way to accomplish this. I can't create a group called No Hibernate and drag all those computers to that group so that they do not go into hibernation. There is no easy way to put in a policy or a procedure like that. It's still back to going to each computer and doing it by hand, which is what I'm trying to get away from. I want to automate and simplify as much as possible. I write code and scripts to do most of my work anyways. The intention is to get away from me having to be so hands-on."

"We would like to see a little more functionality when monitoring network devices, such as switches and routers."

"My most significant criticism is Datto is a complex product that takes a while to understand, but that could be said of almost any solution at the same level. It depends on where you're starting from. You have to rework all your workflows, and it's some heavy lifting if you want to get it right."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"The compatibility needs improvement in TeamViewer Remote Management because there's some incompatibility in some versions of the solution. Some solutions require the higher-performing version of TeamViewer Remote Management. Otherwise, there's incompatibility. The security provided by TeamViewer Remote Management in terms of data transfer also needs improvement. I'd like to see more features in the next release of TeamViewer Remote Management because it's still lacking in features. It would also be good for TeamViewer Remote Management to have a built-in remoting program similar to what Itarian has."

"I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."

"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."

"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."

"Licensing has always been a concern, as it can be costly when we need simultaneous access for multiple users."

"I would like to see better pricing, more customization, and increased automation."

"The solution is a little expensive."

"The license typically depends on the number of endpoints. On the RMM side, I think we're paying around $2,250 per endpoint. Then there is also a license per user and tech, so that comes out to about a hundred bucks per tech, give or take."

"AEM is a lot more scalable as you just pay per agent instead of having to purchase expensive licenses."

"It goes by how many endpoints you have. It is about $3,000 a month for us. If we can't figure it out ourselves and need additional help to set it up, we would have to pay for that."

"It fluctuates on the number of computers you have. Depending on the number of computers you have, it can fluctuate anywhere between $5 to $10 per computer per month, which is not too bad. I am not aware of any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee. It was one flat rate per device."

"We had to pay out some overtime for a few problematic sites. Sites on domain networks are incredibly easy to install. We learned a few tricks that streamlined the process, but in the beginning, it was a bit tedious."

"Regarding pricing, Kaseya sells it as part of a bundle called Kaseya 360. This package includes several tools, such as EDR, ransomware protection, and more. Considering the bundle, the price is reasonable. However, where I am in Brazil, the high dollar rate and taxes make it not cheap for mid-sized companies. Still, it's competitively priced compared to similar tools."

"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."

"Addition services could be lower priced."

"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."

"It is a licensed product."

"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."

"We pay for a yearly license."

"Users need to pay a yearly license for TeamViewer Remote Management."

"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
