At a Glance
Ecosystem vs. Neutral

Why MSPs Choose Nuronus
Four Differences That Matter
Vendor-neutral vs. ecosystem lock-in
Datto Compliance Manager is strongest when you're already all-in on Kaseya — Datto RMM, Autotask, and the wider portfolio. That's convenient if you live in that stack, but it ties your compliance layer to one vendor's roadmap and buying process. Nuronus is vendor-neutral: it pulls from whatever RMM, PSA, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cloud tools you already run, so switching or mixing your stack doesn't touch your compliance platform.
Published pricing, no annual contract to start
Datto/Kaseya pricing is quote-based and typically sold on an annual contract through the partner process. Nuronus publishes flat per-client pricing and lets you start free with 2 clients — month-to-month, no minimum. You can prove the ROI on real clients before committing to anything.
Self-serve, live today
You can sign up for Nuronus, connect a client via OAuth, and generate an audit-ready report the same day — no sales cycle, no partner onboarding. For an MSP evaluating options, that means you can test Nuronus against your current tool this afternoon instead of waiting on a quote.
Broader framework coverage in one assessment
Nuronus maps HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CIS Controls v8, CJIS, and CMMC to a single underlying control set — so one assessment covers every framework a client falls under, including SOC 2, PCI, CIS, and CJIS. If your clients span more than HIPAA and CMMC, that breadth reduces duplicate work.
