RMM stands for Remote Monitoring and Management. It refers to a type of software that allows IT service providers to monitor and manage their clients' IT systems and devices remotely. RMM tools typically provide functionalities such as:
1. Monitoring: Real-time oversight of network devices, servers, and endpoints to ensure they are functioning properly.
2. Management: Remote access to devices for troubleshooting, updates, and maintenance tasks.
3. Automation: Scheduling routine tasks, such as updates, backups, and patch management, to improve efficiency.
4. Reporting: Generating reports on system performance, security, and health to help with decision-making and strategy.
RMM is commonly used by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to support their clients efficiently and proactively. RMM software allows technicians to remotely monitor client endpoints — desktops, laptops, servers, routers, switches, firewalls, storage systems, and more. In short, an RMM solution helps keep everything up and running smoothly.
The Benefits of RMM

Compliance Support
RMM provides continuous monitoring for potential security threats, enabling faster responses to vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with security policies. RMM can automate compliance-related tasks like vulnerability scanning and reporting.
Transparency
