Compare

Lavawall® as the alternative to your current tools

Most teams keep what works and let Lavawall® add the security, compliance, and analytics layer on top. Here is how Lavawall® compares to the tools you may already run, by category.

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.
  • No minimum. Delinea and CyberQP start at 500 endpoints, SuperOps at 100–150, Huntress at 50. Grow starts at 5 seats.
  • 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.
