The Right RMM Tool
RMM tools are an MSP’s best friend. They are the lifeline between the provider and the customer, but finding the right one can bury you in research.
The right RMM tool should have several features. In addition to including essential functions like automation and remote management, it should also be light on the client machine. The tool you choose should be easy to use and allow you to customize your notifications as well as allowing you to work without disrupting the client’s work day.
Cloud Based
A cloud based tool allows you to work without any hardware investment. PC Matic’s cloud based MSP tool means you can be onsite with one client while continually monitoring another. Many of our MSPs love the freedom they enjoy with this, as it allows them to be present for all their customers even when one needs special onsite attention.
Automation
A great RMM will automate a lot of the process for you. Keeping track of the regular activities by automating them for you frees you up to keep an eye on anything irregular that might show up on your client machines.
Additionally, PC Matic automates the whitelist protection offered to customers. This means that we’re monitoring and approving new executables even if you don’t get a chance to right away.
Remote Tools
If you’re an MSP using multiple remote tools, you aren’t optimizing your time. PC Matic has built in remote tools allowing MSPs to quickly VNC into a user’s machine, open a Remote CMD, prompt to run scripts locally, browse and upload to file directories, remotely shutdown, and more.
