The honest read: MantisNMS now covers network-config backup & change management (SSH-managed switches/routers/firewalls plus cloud-managed Meraki, with versioning, diffs, compliance rules and drift alerts) — closing the classic Auvik/SolarWinds gap. The pure-plays still lead on auto-generated topology maps and the deepest traffic forensics. Where MantisNMS wins is deployment and terms — fully cloud-hosted, with no Windows server to run and patch (PRTG and SolarWinds' self-hosted editions run on Windows servers), billed monthly with no annual contract — and consolidation: it's the only option here that also brings vulnerability management and RMM under one platform, one bill, and one dashboard. Pricing is per sensor and comparable to PRTG's, and you monitor only the interfaces that matter.
Vulnerability Management: What's Included
Mantis360 is priced for breadth: one per-asset price covers OT/ICS detection, attack-surface posture and identity/AD checks, on one platform with MantisRMM and MantisNMS. Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7 sell some of these as separate, quote-only products that aren't priced here, so no price is shown for them below. Tenable publishes a base list price of about $3,700 a year for 100 assets (as of October 2026), which is lower than Mantis360's; see the Tenable comparison.
- Shares agent, console & bill with RMM + NMS
- Identity / AD exposure
- ICS/OT detection + public ICS security advisories
- External posture grade (A–F)
- CVE + exploit likelihood + known-exploited data
- Network discovery + probes
- STIG compliance
- Pricing by quote
- TruRisk scoring with exploit-likelihood + known-exploited data
- Patch Management (separately licensed)
- Broad compliance library (Policy Compliance)
- Some reviewers report a learning curve
- Pricing by quote
- Self-hosted Security Console
- Good UX / visualization
- No dedicated OT module
- No AD exposure scanning in InsightVM
Remote Management (RMM) Pricing
Monthly cost at 100 managed endpoints. NinjaOne is shown at its published starting rate; Atera and ConnectWise price differently (per technician, or by quote), so no figure is shown for them.
- Windows + Linux + macOS
- Remote desktop, terminal, files
- Patch management
- CVE correlation
- Branded notifications
- Remediation scripts + rollback
- Unlimited technicians
- Per-device pricing
- Strong ecosystem & PSA integrations
- Native vulnerability management (2026)
- Built-in ticketing (not a full PSA)
- Cost scales with device count
- Per-technician (unlimited devices)
- Integrated PSA + help desk
- AI Copilot; Robin AI agent (add-on)
- Full VM via Vicarius integration
- Per-endpoint licensing (quote)
- Deep automation capabilities
- Automate: on-prem or cloud; RMM: cloud
- Pairs with ConnectWise PSA
- ScreenConnect remote support per concurrent tech
Network Monitoring (NMS) Pricing
Annual cost for roughly 500 sensors (~50 devices). Vendors meter differently — sensors, network devices, or nodes — so only published list rates are shown; vendors that don't publish are marked quote-only. MantisNMS lets you monitor only the interfaces that matter, so you pay for fewer sensors than per-port tools.
- Fully cloud-hosted — no Windows server to patch
- 50+ sensor types
- NetFlow / IPFIX / sFlow analytics
- Agentless collector + host agent
- Smart alerting + remediation scripts
- Bundles with Mantis360 + RMM — one platform, one bill
- Per-sensor licensing — one sensor per monitored port
- Self-hosted on Windows (Hosted Monitor available)
- No vulnerability management or RMM
- Billed annually
- Billed per network device
- Strong config backup & topology
- Licensed per device, not per sensor
- No VM or RMM
- Node-based subscription
- Broad, modular self-hosted suite
- Needs Windows Server + SQL Server
- No RMM; firmware-CVE dashboard only
The Bottom Line
Where MantisOps wins outright, where the competition leads, and when to use each.
Breadth on one platform
Tenable is the gold standard for vulnerability discovery and VPR prioritization, and it marks findings Fixed automatically on the next authenticated or agent scan. Its base list price is lower than Mantis360's (about $3,700 a year for 100 assets, per Tenable's own pricing page as of October 2026), while identity exposure, attack-surface management, full OT Security and patch management are separate, quote-only products. Mantis360 includes OT/ICS detection, identity/AD exposure and attack-surface checks, and runs on one cloud platform with MantisRMM and MantisNMS — one agent, one console, one bill, billed monthly in 50-asset packs.
One platform vs. separate apps
Qualys offers integrated patching (separately licensed), FedRAMP-authorized deployments, PCI ASV scanning and a broad CIS/STIG policy library; OT coverage (VMDR OT) and identity (ETM Identity) are separate apps or add-ons. Some reviewers report a learning curve for new users. Mantis360 includes OT/ICS detection and identity/AD exposure, runs on one platform with MantisRMM and MantisNMS, and surfaces risk-ranked findings immediately with exploit-likelihood filtering.
Infrastructure, price floor and platform reach
InsightVM has excellent UX and DevOps integration, but it isn't fully cloud-based: you install, size and maintain your own on-premises Security Console (with its own database) alongside its scan engines. Rapid7 now sells it as part of Exposure Command by quote and does not publish a price. Mantis360 is cloud-delivered with no server to run and starts at a single 50-asset pack, adds ICS/OT detection that InsightVM lacks, and includes identity/AD exposure scanning.
Platform breadth and pricing model
NinjaOne has a larger ecosystem and stronger PSA integrations, and added native vulnerability management in 2026. Its per-device pricing (published from $3.75 per device per month at 50 or fewer endpoints) grows with your fleet. MantisRMM supports Linux on amd64 and arm64 and macOS on Intel and Apple Silicon at $2/agent/month, and shares one agent and console with Mantis360's full vulnerability management.
VM integration vs. PSA maturity
Atera's per-technician model is smart for scaling device counts without cost increase, and it ships an integrated PSA and help desk. MantisRMM pairs natively with Mantis360 for vulnerability management — Atera relies on a Vicarius integration for full vulnerability management.
Fully cloud-hosted, monthly terms
PRTG is the per-sensor benchmark. Its core server runs on Windows and is primarily self-hosted, it's billed annually, and each monitored port uses a sensor license. MantisNMS is fully cloud-hosted with no Windows server to run and patch, bills monthly with no annual contract, and brings vulnerability management and RMM onto the same platform and bill — with comparable per-sensor pricing, about 4–12% below PRTG's published list prices at each tier (as of October 2026), and you monitor only the interfaces that matter.
Where the pure-plays lead — and don't
MantisNMS now matches the pure-plays on config backup & change management (versioning, diffs, compliance, drift alerts — over SSH and the Meraki cloud API); Auvik and SolarWinds still go deeper on auto-generated topology maps for network-heavy shops. But Auvik does not publish its pricing, and SolarWinds' self-hosted platform needs dedicated Windows Server and SQL Server infrastructure (its SaaS edition is a separate product). MantisNMS gives you 50+ sensor types, NetFlow analytics, config backup, and public per-sensor pricing billed monthly — consolidated with Mantis360 and MantisRMM.
Be honest about trade-offs
If you need deep PSA integration (tickets, billing, SLAs), a large third-party integration marketplace, or a dedicated support team with SLAs, NinjaOne or ConnectWise are better fits. For enterprise-scale compliance with regulatory reporting, Tenable or Qualys have deeper certification breadth. For deep auto-generated network topology mapping, Auvik or SolarWinds go further.
