Patching: Datto’s Advanced Software Management compared

Datto RMM’s broader Windows third-party catalogue is its Advanced Software Management add-on. Datto’s own documentation and published catalogue set out its limits:

Programs can close without warning. Datto says that during Advanced Software Management updates, “certain software applications will forcibly close without warning.” Lavawall® waits until the program is closed, warns the user, or installs the update at the next reboot.
No ARM devices. Datto says Advanced Software Management “is not currently supported for use on ARM-based devices.” Lavawall® supports ARM-based computers.
Windows only. Datto says it is “currently only supported for Windows OS devices.” Lavawall® patches Windows, Mac, and Linux from the same agent.
Up to 10 business days for most applications. Datto sorts applications into three tiers, updated within 1, 5, or 10 business days, with Tier 3 covering “less critical” software and everything not placed in a higher tier. By our count, most entries in the catalogue are Tier 3. Lavawall® keeps applications up to date daily.
A smaller catalogue than the count suggests. On 18 September 2026, Datto’s catalogue listed 315 entries. By our count, 115 of them are versions of Microsoft software, such as Office, .NET, and Visual C++, which Lavawall® updates through Microsoft, leaving about 200. Dozens of those are separate 32-bit and 64-bit entries for the same product, and 16 are marked discontinued. Lavawall®’s public catalogue lists more than 7,400 applications.
No proxy-configured agents. Datto says Advanced Software Management “does not currently support proxy-configured Datto RMM agents.”
