Datto RMM (now part of Kaseya) is widely deployed across MSPs. Lavawall® natively integrates with Datto RMM as a deployable component and adds the cybersecurity, GRC, multi-cloud breach detection, and replacement-prioritization capabilities that Datto RMM does not include.
Where Lavawall® wins for MSPs
Datto-native deploy: Lavawall® ships as a Datto RMM component that you push to endpoints exactly the way you push everything else.
GRC compliance automation across 15+ frameworks (CMMC 2.0, NIST CSF, CIS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, PIPEDA, BC HIA, Alberta HIA, NERC CIP, IIROC, CPA Canada, Australian Essential Eight, Canadian privacy bundle).
Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, and Google Workspace breach detection with endpoint correlation that pure-cloud and pure-RMM tools miss.
Application Control without a kernel driver — no BSOD, no driver-signing dance, works on Remote Desktop Session Hosts.
7,500+ applications patched across Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, audited catalog.
SaaS / shadow-AI discovery against a 1,130+ application catalog using email metadata.
Replacement prioritization across battery cycles, capacity, drive SMART, TPM version, RAM, and processor age.
Multi-tenant remote support that runs in a mobile/desktop browser with no operator agent — and a backstage shell for headless work.
Free white-label "Scout" domain attack-surface scanner you can embed on your own site.
Month-to-month, no minimums, no high-water-mark billing.
Where Datto RMM wins
Mature MSP RMM with deep monitoring, scripting, and patch automation.
Tight integrations across the broader Kaseya/Datto/IT Complete portfolio.
Large existing footprint in MSPs and broad partner support.
Component marketplace with many third-party tools available out of the box.

Who should pick which?
Pick Lavawall® if…
You already use Datto RMM and want to *augment* it with cybersecurity, GRC, M365 breach detection, and refresh-priority analytics — not rip-and-replace. Lavawall® deploys as a Datto component.
You want to consolidate five-to-seven separate tools (RMM, GRC, app control, M365 monitoring, helpdesk, remote support, file-change tracking) onto one platform that bills month-to-month.
Your clients are asking whether you meet CMMC 2.0, NIST CSF, PIPEDA, BC/Alberta HIA, NERC CIP, or other frameworks and you want continuous evidence collection.
You operate in Canada and want native CAD billing and Canadian-resident data hosting in Calgary, Alberta.
Pick Datto RMM if…
You are deeply invested in Datto/Kaseya IT Complete and need feature-for-feature parity with the rest of the suite.
You need very specific Datto-only integrations that Lavawall® does not yet ship.
You prefer one Kaseya invoice for everything and the trade-offs that come with that — high-water-mark billing, multi-year terms, etc.
Frequently asked
- Does Lavawall® replace Datto RMM?
- It can, but it does not have to. Most MSPs deploy Lavawall® as a Datto RMM component to add cybersecurity, GRC, M365 / Google Workspace breach detection, and replacement-prioritization analytics on top of Datto RMM. Some MSPs eventually consolidate, but coexistence is the default.
- How is Lavawall® deployed via Datto RMM?
- Lavawall® provides a downloadable Datto RMM component. You upload it to Datto, target sites or filters as you would for any other component, and Lavawall® installs across the target devices.
- Does Lavawall® cover the same patch catalog as Datto RMM?
- Lavawall® publishes a public catalog of 7,500+ applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux at /publicappdetails.php so MSPs can verify coverage before adopting.
- How is Lavawall® priced relative to Datto RMM?
- Lavawall® is month-to-month with no minimums and no high-water-mark billing. Pricing in USD and CAD is published at /pricing.php. Datto RMM pricing varies by Kaseya agreement.
