FAQ

Common questions about fliix Ops and Datto RMM

Can fliix Ops replace Datto RMM?
No. It does not replace the automation, cross-platform patching or Kaseya integrations of Datto RMM. Add the fliix Ops Windows Agent beside it when technicians still need the device itself: terminal, files, registry and findings rated by your policy.
How does the AI differ from Smart Insights?

Which product is cheaper?
That cannot be answered responsibly without device counts, modules, minimum quantities and contract terms. Compare quotations for your actual use case.
Can both products be used together?
Yes. Datto RMM can cover patching and automation while fliix Ops serves as the hands-on workspace for Windows systems.
