Pulseway: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Pulseway is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform for IT environments, which lets IT teams monitor and manage devices remotely. The vendor presents it as an IT management solution that can be used from anywhere. It is developed by MMSOFT Design Limited, a company founded in Dublin, Ireland, in 2011.

MMSOFT Design Limited is an Irish company, so development takes place within the European Union. In May 2025, the US company Kaseya, which announced from Miami, said it had officially joined forces with Pulseway as the next phase of a long-standing partnership. The sources reviewed do not confirm the current shareholding. The website does not state where customer data is stored; before use, organisations should request in writing the processing and storage regions and the safeguards for transfers.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Pulseway

Pulseway is headquartered in IE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Pulseway scores best on data residency.

Pulseway is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Pulseway together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
