Xcellerate RMM vs Datto RMM / Kaseya
Escape lock-in economics: no multi-year contracts, no bundle pressure, no surprise price hikes.
Xcellerate RMM
Country of origin: Bulgaria
Bulgaria is an EU jurisdiction — aligned with your data-sovereignty and GDPR obligations, with no third-country access to worry about.
Datto RMM (Kaseya)
Country of origin: United States
Headquartered in United States, outside the EU. Data can fall under United States law (e.g. the US CLOUD Act), which clashes with EU data-sovereignty and GDPR expectations.
No contract lock-in
