Best 8 RMM Solutions For MSPs (2026)

NinjaOne is a unified IT operations platform that combines RMM, patching, backup, and remote support in a single cloud-native console. We were impressed by the platform’s depth; it manages Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints with conditional policies, hundreds of out-of-the-box scripts, and PowerShell for real-time remote commands. We think it’s well suited to any MSP or IT team looking for a comprehensive, intuitive remote IT management platform.

NinjaOne Key Features

The scripting engine stands out. PowerShell deployments run consistently across hundreds of endpoints, and the out-of-the-box scripts cover common remediation tasks. Conditional policies automate detection and response; for example, if five failed login attempts are detected within five minutes, NinjaOne sends a security alert and disables the local user automatically. Automated patching covers Windows, macOS, Linux, and third-party applications with Patch Intelligence AI for CVE and CVSS-based prioritization. The Overview dashboard uses a traffic light color-coded graph to highlight critical actions, with clickable device icons for deep-dive endpoint detail. NinjaOne integrates with Splashtop, TeamViewer, and ScreenConnect for full remote control. The multi-tenant interface gives MSPs per-client dashboards and drill-down visibility. Endpoint backup handles file, folder, and image backups to cloud, local, or hybrid storage, encrypted at rest and in transit.

Our Take

We think NinjaOne works best for MSPs that need reliable core functionality without complexity. The per-device monthly pricing scales linearly, and free unlimited onboarding support and training are included without add-on costs. Full deployment typically takes two weeks to a month, with the agent deployed through Intune or on-premises Active Directory. The platform is highly intuitive; the interface is modern with strong visualization, making it easy for junior techs and senior engineers to work from the same console. Something to be aware of is that NinjaOne doesn’t offer software configuration management, and it isn’t an EDR tool or advanced security product. But it does improve security posture through deep endpoint visibility, patching, endpoint hardening, and reliable backups.

Atera specialises in remote-first IT management. Their AI-powered platform unifies RMM, PSA, remote access, and reporting in a single console. Atera monitors client systems in real time and provides IT admins with alerts about potential problems before they happen. The platform also integrates with Splashtop to provide continuous remote support for MSP clients. We think the per-technician pricing model is the defining advantage for growing MSPs.

Atera Key Features

The AI capabilities have expanded significantly. Atera’s Copilot generates ticket summaries and automates administrative tasks, while Atera’s Robin handles routine troubleshooting without technician input. Per-technician pricing covers unlimited endpoints, which removes the per-device cost pressure that limits how many endpoints an MSP can manage. Activity logging supports transparency and compliance for client reporting. Broad OS compatibility and the centralised management of RMM, PSA, and remote access in one interface reduce tool sprawl.

What Customers Say

Customers praise the broad OS compatibility and the centralised management of RMM, PSA, and remote access in one interface. The per-technician pricing model is consistently highlighted as a key advantage. Something to be aware of is that AI features take time to fully configure, and cloud SaaS workload management falls outside the platform’s scope.

Our Take

We think Atera fits MSPs of any size that want an AI-enhanced RMM platform to automate workflows and deliver faster support. The per-technician model means scaling does not trigger per-device cost increases, which is particularly valuable for MSPs adding clients frequently.
