RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) tools — your remote arms

Remote Monitoring & Management agents (NinjaOne, Kaseya, Datto, ConnectWise) let you act on thousands of endpoints at once.

An RMM puts an agent on every managed device. From a single dashboard you can run scripts, push patches, take remote control, and see CPU (Central Processing Unit)/disk health.

Treat the RMM as a loaded weapon. A script run against 'all endpoints' touches every client. Always scope first.
