START WITH THE BASICS
What is an RMM—and is it right for you?
RMM means remote monitoring and management. It gives you a central place to check computers, help the people using them, and perform maintenance without visiting each machine.
It becomes useful when that work is recurring: several devices to look after, users in different places, or updates and support requests that need a consistent process. For occasional help with a single computer, a simpler remote-support tool may be enough.
Start with your actual workload. Which systems do you manage? Which actions should be remote? Who should be allowed to take them? Those answers matter more than the size of a feature list.
