What Lavawall® covers compared with Action1

Lavawall® covers the patch management work Action1 is used for, and more, on one agent and console:

Patching for more than 7,400 applications on Windows, Mac, and Linux from one catalogue, with patch state kept as compliance evidence.
The rest of an RMM around it: monitoring, scripting, and browser-based remote support for Windows and Mac.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection and compliance evidence for 70+ frameworks on the same agent.

For a feature-by-feature comparison, see Lavawall® compared with Action1.

Where Action1 may fit better

If you only want a patching tool and nothing else, a patch-only product may feel simpler. Lavawall® patches as part of a full RMM, so the same agent also covers monitoring, remote support, and compliance evidence.

Switching, or running both

Install the Lavawall® agent through your current RMM or any tool that runs a script, move patch policies over company by company, and turn off Action1 for the companies that have moved.
