Compare

Lavawall® as the alternative to your current tools

Here is how Lavawall® compares to the tools you may already run, by category. Lavawall® is a multi-tenant RMM and remote support platform for MSPs and IT teams, with patching, security monitoring, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection, and compliance built into the same agent and console. It can run on its own as your RMM, or alongside your current RMM while you move over.

Before you compare features

Compare how you’re charged, first.

Lavawall® bills one seat: the greater of your managed devices or your licensed Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace users, never the sum. Most of the tools below charge per endpoint and sell you a separate per-user product, or bill per technician so your software cost jumps every time you hire. Many quote only on a sales call, and most want a one- or three-year commitment first.

See the per-seat pricing What the separate stack costs

  • Published prices. Datto RMM, ConnectWise, Kaseya VSA, Pulseway, ThreatLocker, CyberQP, and Sophos publish none.
  • Canadian dollars. Atera, HaloPSA, Zoho, LogMeIn, Microsoft, and KnowBe4 quote CAD; Zendesk, Freshworks, ScreenConnect, TeamViewer, SentinelOne, and CrowdStrike bill a Canadian MSP in USD.
  • Month-to-month. KnowBe4’s grid is 3-year; Huntress is 12-month; Datto RMM defaults to 3 years with no mid-term downgrade.
  • Low minimums. Delinea and CyberQP start at 500 endpoints, SuperOps at 100–150, Huntress at 50. Grow starts at 5 seats, and a single module has no minimum.
  • No monthly-billing penalty. Atera charges 5–26% more to pay monthly on its own Canadian rate cards; CrowdStrike 60–80%; Automox 33%.
  • No high-water-mark billing. Your bill falls when a client shrinks.

Competitor prices, minimums, and contract terms are drawn from each vendor’s published rate cards or, where a vendor publishes none, from buyer-reported and third-party data, current as of publication and subject to change. Verify current terms with the vendor before relying on any figure.
