Setup is straightforward even for teams without deep IT experience. Users praise the platform’s clean interface and the ability to remotely update third-party apps, as well as Atera’s excellent customer support. Something to be aware of is that macOS clients are more difficult to manage, and client portal access requires additional licensing for customer self-service.

We think Atera fits MSPs and IT teams who want cost predictability while growing their client base. If your model depends on managing many endpoints per technician, the per-technician pricing works in your favor. Because of its tiered pricing and strong feature set, we would recommend Atera as a strong tool for any IT team or MSP looking to remotely manage a Microsoft Office 365 environment.

Integration with Autotask helps operations run smoothly for day-to-day tasks. The regularly updated script library and the ease of deploying third-party apps such as Office 365 are praised, along with the partner community. Something to be aware of is that reporting features require extra time to configure, and the feature depth can overwhelm new users during initial onboarding.

We think Datto RMM fits MSPs whose clients rely heavily on Microsoft 365 and need active monitoring beyond basic endpoint management. The CyberDrain O365 scripts are available in the ComStore at no extra charge, which is good to see. Cloud-based, with support for Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, Datto RMM is a flexible solution that we recommend for any MSP looking to remotely manage their clients’ Office 365 suites.
