Barracuda RMM was the best midpoint. Not so much that we felt overwhelmed and not so little that we could not figure out the data

  • Barracuda Managed Workplace definitely handles live notifications better then Lansweeper.
  • We currently use Lansweeper for Software Deployment and Patch Management
  • Nagios has better visuals for network layout and heartbeat monitoring
Chose Barracuda RMM
I have only used SolarWinds a little bit. I prefer what I have seen from Avast Managed Workplace. There seem to be more automation features in Managed Workplace that are helpful. That being said, I don't have a ton of experience with SolarWinds.

AVG Managed Workplace has more tools and features. The pre-existing templates and alerts are working properly while Continuum does not even provide service like that. There are some specific tools to work with and they are super easy to complete the task, for example, you can …

AVG blows Naverisk out of the water in all aspects. AVG is much better when it comes to patch management and the remote connection agent than LogicNow. LogicNow was spotty with the remote connection agent. Patches would sometimes apply and sometimes not with it.

Simple to use and easy to understand. Almost all features are GUI based which are good in comparison to others softwares like ConnectWise RMM. In comparison to that using groovy and other scripts along with standard features is the best thing you will find. Overall it's …

It is very good for Managed Service Providers to be able to monitor and manage multiple clients at a time from one central location. Many things can be automated through it so that they don't require your constant attention. It would not be as appropriate for internal use at a company, is more suited for MSP's.

It's well suited in case of asset management along with monitoring of hardware and softwares. Performance monitoring for Middleware platform is another factor of using it but sometimes alerts got malfunctioned in our scenario which cab be due to multiple reasons along with hardware requirements. We got difficulty creating redundant monitors for few of the assets. But overall it's good

Pros
  • Agentless, unlike most RMM, you don't need to download and install an agent on the devices. The onsite manager (OM) will scan the entire domain for computers, network devices, printers, etc.
  • Remote access: Users have to select whether to access shared screen or via RDP.
  • Detail Dashboard Information: it has a very reach feature that displays information about system components.

Support Rating
We've tried many times to work with support to accomplish various tasks in the system with minimal responsiveness and success. Most of what we have accomplished has been without support and through trial/error.

  • We are assessing TeamViewer/AnyDesk now for better Remote Desktop support. But Barracuda does handle this task very well and we wouldn't be put out to continue using Barracuda for this.
