Key takeaways.
The differences that matter most.
- Level is a first-party RMM for monitoring, automation, scripting, patching, and remote support.
- Endpoint events, monitors, tags, group changes, schedules, and API events can start Level automations.
- Live device-and-step logs show technicians what each automation is doing.
- Level remote control opens in the browser without a separate remote stack to operate.
- Level manages Windows, macOS, and Linux fleets, including Linux ARM64.
What Level users say.
A cohesive workflow in daily use.

Customer testimonial, Easton Utilities
“Level is such a breath of fresh air in the RMM space. The GUI looks clean, intuitive, modern, and is very responsive. They have deployed new features at an impressive rate. We’ve had very helpful communication with their support team, and they are responsive and happy to talk about their roadmap and listen to our input.”

“We switched to Level in February from another RMM and are super happy. The whole platform is modern, fast, offers a ton of advanced features, and is very actively developed. Monitoring is super flexible because it allows us to use our own scripts as monitors and do things based on the results. The API is quite advanced and is extended constantly.”
Level ships the daily RMM workflow today.
Monitoring, automation, patching, and remote share one device context.
See the signal and the device.
Level-built monitoring stays connected to device state, groups, tags, alerts, and the actions a technician can take next.
Turn the signal into work.
An alert, tag, enrollment, or schedule starts an automation and streams each device result while it runs.
Open remote without a viewer.
Level remote control opens in the browser across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Choose the RMM experience first.
Choose between a first-party RMM and an assembled open platform.
Choose Level if
- Endpoint events should start the work.
- You need live automation output.
- Linux belongs in the same fleet.
- You want a first-party RMM workflow.
- You want a no-clock free evaluation.
Choose OpenFrame if
- An assembled open platform fits your model.
- Its current monitoring model fits your fleet.
- MeshCentral remote fits your workflow.
Compare the shared RMM work.
Level keeps each endpoint action inside one first-party workflow.

RMM depth shows up in the work.
Live automations, browser remote, patching, Linux, and ARM.
- Watch the automation run live. A tag, enrollment, monitor, or schedule can start the workflow. The run view streams each device's output.
- Remote from the browser. Open macOS or Linux remote with no extra viewer. Level tries a P2P path first and uses an encrypted relay when needed.
- Stage patches across the mixed fleet. Use Windows and macOS delays, tagged Linux canaries, WinGet, Homebrew, Apt, Yum/DNF, Pacman, Snap, and Flatpak.
- Manage ARM and Linux together. Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and other ARM devices use the same Level agent. The workflows are available on every plan.

Why doesn't Level chase software review awards?
Review volume can reflect campaigns and incentives. We would rather put that money into the product. If Level earns a review, post it honestly. No gift card.
