Atera vs Devicely RMM — FAQs
What is the main difference between Atera and Devicely RMM?
Atera uses a per-technician pricing model which can become expensive as your team grows. Devicely RMM uses per-device pricing, meaning you pay based on what you monitor, not how many people use it. Devicely also offers deeper VDI monitoring for Azure AVD, VMware Horizon, and Citrix — features Atera does not support.
Is Devicely RMM better than Atera for VDI environments?
Yes. Devicely RMM was purpose-built with VDI in mind. It monitors Azure AVD multisession hosts, VMware Horizon, Citrix, FSLogix profile disks, and session states in real time — capabilities Atera does not have.
Does Devicely RMM have the same AI features as Atera?
Devicely RMM includes AI-powered Windows Event Log analysis that automatically reads, categorises, and provides intelligent recommendations for event log entries. We are continuously expanding AI capabilities focused on Windows and VDI diagnostic intelligence.
Which is better for MSPs — Atera or Devicely?
Both support MSP use cases, but Devicely's per-device pricing is more predictable for MSPs managing large device fleets. As your managed device count grows, Devicely scales cost-effectively whereas Atera's per-technician model means adding a new engineer immediately increases your cost.
