VerdictWorth itDepends
Best forInternal IT patching Windows fleetsMSPs wanting unified PSA+RMM
Who it's not forMSPs wanting deep RMM automation . Reddit cites feature gapsSmall teams that only need simple ticketing
PrivacyNo platform breach found; one high-severity agent CVE (CVE-2025-5480) was disclosed and patched, and ransomware groups have abused the RMM tooling itself.⁸No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.14
Support qualityInsufficient evidence in sourcesNo user evidence found
Public sentimentVendor-adjacent ratings are strong (94% five-star claims, G2 leadership), but independent sysadmin threads are mixed on feature gaps and price changes.⁴No independent user reviews or quotable feedback surfaced in the sources reviewed.15
Biggest gotchaAgent-based RMM is a prime attacker target; keep the agent patched (CVE-2025-5480 was high severity).⁹Pricing pages exist but show no numbers . expect quote-based or per-user pricing; confirm scope before demo.13
