Capabilities reflect standard product tiers as of March 2026. 'addon' indicates feature available as a paid add-on or third-party integration. Datto RMM, ConnectWise Automate, and NinjaRMM are primarily tools for IT providers, not the businesses they support — AmviaIQ is AMVIA's customer-facing layer built on top of these platforms.
Understanding the Comparison
AmviaIQ serves a different purpose than traditional RMM tools — understanding this helps frame the comparison correctly.
AmviaIQ is for your business
AmviaIQ is designed for the IT managers and senior stakeholders at the businesses AMVIA supports — providing visibility, compliance reporting, and security insights in a format that is actionable without deep technical expertise. It is not a tool for IT service providers to manage their client estate.
RMM tools are for IT providers
Datto RMM, ConnectWise, and NinjaRMM are Remote Monitoring and Management platforms designed for use by managed service providers to monitor and manage client devices. They are not typically accessible to the end-customer businesses they monitor. AMVIA uses RMM tooling as part of its service delivery — AmviaIQ sits on top of this and translates it into customer-facing insight.
AmviaIQ adds security correlation
Standard RMM tools are strong on device health and patch management but do not correlate security signals across endpoints, email, identity, and network to identify threats. AmviaIQ adds this correlation layer — surfacing the anomalies and patterns that indicate potential compromise, not just device health issues.
Cost & Availability Context
AmviaIQ is included as part of AMVIA's managed IT and connectivity services — there is no separate licence fee. Datto RMM, ConnectWise, and NinjaRMM are tools purchased by managed service providers and are not typically available to or priced for end-customer businesses. If you are an AMVIA client, AmviaIQ visibility is included in your existing service. If you are evaluating AMVIA as a provider, AmviaIQ forms part of what you receive with a managed service engagement.

UK businesses typically allocate 13.2% of their total IT budget to cybersecurity. More than half of UK small businesses increased their cybersecurity spending in 2024. 85% of UK firms plan to boost their cyber budget for 2026. The cost of prevention is significantly less than the average breach cost of £3,550.
Only 14% of UK businesses formally review cyber risks from their immediate suppliers. 35.5% of all global data breaches in 2024 originated from third-party compromises. Supply chain attacks add an average of £241,620 to the total cost of a breach and take 267 days to detect and contain.
MFA requires two or more verification methods to access an account. Microsoft reports that over 99.9% of compromised accounts did not have MFA enabled. Only 40% of UK businesses have two-factor authentication enabled (DSIT 2025). MFA can prevent more than 99.9% of account compromise attempts.
The average cost of the most disruptive breach is £3,550 for UK businesses. For businesses that experienced negative outcomes such as data loss or financial theft, the average cost rises to £8,260. Medium and large businesses face average costs of £10,830 per disruptive incident.
