Xcellerate RMM vs Pulseway
Pulseway made mobile-first monitoring popular. Xcellerate RMM matches the day-to-day workflow and adds an open core with far deeper inventory.
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.
Pulseway
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.
Open source vs proprietary
Pulseway (a Kaseya company) is closed. Xcellerate RMM's AGPL core can be audited, extended and self-hosted for free.
Beyond monitoring
AppDeploy package management, onboarding profiles, IPAM+, switch maps and a plugin framework — a complete platform, not just alerts on your phone.
Extended inventory
MSSQL/Oracle/MySQL instances, certificates, scheduled tasks, local users, listener ports and BitLocker keys — inventoried automatically.
