Devolutions bundles its products into four solution packages, each aimed at a different use case: remote desktop management & IT operations, privileged access management (PAM), IT automation, and remote access management. To choose, match your team's primary pain point to one of those four, then check the package's product mix against what you already own. Pricing is listed on the official pricing page, and purchases can also go through a reseller.

The four packages at a glance

How to pick

1. Start from the problem, not the product

The packages are organized by use case, so the fastest filter is the question your team is actually asking:

• "Our remote sessions and credentials are scattered." Remote desktop management & IT operations is the entry point. Devolutions notes that most teams discover the platform through RDM, then realize the same platform can replace their password manager, PAM tool, and scripting patchwork.
• "We need to control, rotate, and audit privileged accounts." Go to the PAM package. It covers just-in-time elevation, automatic password rotation, session monitoring, and an audit trail.
• "Our routine IT work should be scripted, not manual." PowerShell Universal is the automation package. It turns PowerShell scripts into dashboards, REST APIs, and scheduled jobs.
• "We need a secure way into segmented networks without a full VPN." Remote access management pairs Gateway with Password Manager for JIT access, session monitoring, and MFA enforcement.

2. Check what each package actually bundles

The packages overlap, which matters if you are adding to an existing deployment rather than starting fresh. RDM and Password Manager appear in more than one package, and the PAM package includes both of them alongside PAM itself. If you already run RDM, the incremental decision is usually whether you need PAM, Gateway, or PowerShell Universal on top — not whether to switch tools.

3. Confirm platform coverage

The connection and credential products list Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android support. If your team is mixed-platform, verify the specific product you are buying covers the endpoints you manage before committing.

4. Size the decision against adoption signals

Devolutions cites 1M+ IT professionals, 140+ countries, 200+ integrated tools, and 15K+ community members. These are useful as a maturity signal for the ecosystem (especially the 200+ integrations, which affect how well RDM fits your existing stack), not as a reason to pick one package over another.

Pricing and where to buy

• Pricing page: https://store.devolutions.net/pricing?l=en — the official place to see current package pricing.
• Reseller list: https://devolutions.net/buy/reseller-list/ — find a reseller if you prefer to buy through a partner.
• Reseller program: https://devolutions.net/buy/reseller/ — for partners.

One concrete data point from the site: the IT automation package lists a PowerShell Universal Developer edition at $0, with free and full editions available. Treat that as the entry point for automation only — it does not tell you the cost of the other three packages, so check the pricing page for those.

A practical selection sequence

1. Write down the single biggest gap: scattered connections, unmanaged privileged accounts, manual scripting, or insecure remote entry.
2. Map that gap to the package in the table above.
3. List the products in that package and cross off any you already license.
4. Check platform coverage for your endpoints.
5. Pull current pricing from the official page, or contact a reseller if you need a quote or local invoicing.

If two packages seem to fit, the PAM package is the broader one — it includes RDM and Password Manager, so it covers the remote-connection and credential-management needs as well as privileged access. Choose the narrower remote desktop management package only if privileged access control and auditing are not yet a requirement for your team.

Devolutions PAM is a privileged access management product that bundles with Devolutions RDM and Devolutions Password Manager to control privileged accounts. According to Devolutions' own product description, it provides just-in-time (JIT) elevation, automatic password rotation, session monitoring, and an audit trail intended to support compliance requirements. It fits teams that already use RDM for remote connections and want privileged access controls in the same ecosystem rather than a separate PAM stack.

What Devolutions PAM actually does

The product page groups PAM's capabilities into four functions:

• Just-in-time elevation — privileged rights are granted when needed rather than held permanently, which is the basis for enforcing least privilege.
• Automatic password rotation — privileged account passwords are changed on a schedule or trigger, reducing the window in which a leaked credential is useful.
• Session monitoring — privileged sessions can be observed, so activity on high-value accounts is visible rather than opaque.
• Audit trail — the record of privileged access activity is what compliance reviewers ask for.

These four items are the mechanism. The compliance value comes from the combination: JIT limits standing access, rotation limits credential lifetime, and monitoring plus audit trail produce the evidence that controls were actually applied.

How it fits with RDM and Password Manager

Devolutions presents PAM as part of one ecosystem rather than a standalone tool, and the packaging reflects that:

The practical consequence: if you already launch RDP, SSH, and VNC sessions through RDM, the PAM package adds privileged-account controls on top of the same connection and credential layer instead of requiring a parallel system. Credentials are injected automatically into sessions in RDM, and Password Manager handles team credential storage with MFA policies and SSO — so privileged credentials live in the same vault structure as the rest of the team's secrets.

What to check before assuming it meets your compliance needs

The product page states that PAM provides "the audit trail your compliance requirements ask for," but it does not name specific frameworks, retention periods, or report formats. Treat that as a claim to verify against your own obligations rather than a certification.

Concretely, before deciding:

1. Map your required controls. List what your auditor or framework actually demands — for example, who approved elevation, how long records are retained, whether sessions are recorded or only logged.
2. Confirm rotation scope. Ask which account types support automatic rotation and what triggers it (schedule, checkout, session end).
3. Check the audit trail's export and retention. An audit trail only satisfies a review if you can produce it in the required form and window.
4. Verify integration depth. Since PAM ships with RDM and Password Manager, confirm the JIT and rotation behavior applies to the connection types and vaults your team actually uses.

Who this is for

Devolutions PAM is a reasonable fit if your team already uses RDM or Password Manager and wants privileged access controls without adopting a separate PAM vendor. It is less obviously a fit if you need a standalone PAM deployment decoupled from a remote-connection tool, or if your compliance regime requires named certifications that the product page does not list.

Pricing is not stated on the page; Devolutions links to a pricing page and a reseller list, so cost and licensing terms need to be checked there rather than assumed.

Devolutions Password Manager gives teams a shared, secure vault for credentials, with MFA enforcement, SSO, and cross-platform access on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It fits teams that need to store, share, and manage passwords across devices and roles without relying on spreadsheets or personal password apps. It is one product inside the wider Devolutions ecosystem, so it can also be paired with remote connection management and privileged access tools.

Core team credential features

The product centers on a few capabilities that matter most for shared team use:

• Secure vaults for storing and sharing credentials. Team passwords live in vaults rather than in individual browsers or notes, so access can be granted and managed centrally.
• MFA policy enforcement. Teams can require multi-factor authentication rather than leaving it to individual choice.
• SSO support. Single sign-on reduces the number of separate logins people juggle, which the site frames as cutting password fatigue.
• Cross-platform access. The same credential management is available across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Where it fits in the Devolutions ecosystem

Password Manager is not a standalone island. The site presents Devolutions as one ecosystem covering four areas: connections, credentials and identities, privileged access, and automation. Password Manager covers the credentials and identities layer.

That matters for teams already using Devolutions RDM for remote sessions. Credentials can be injected automatically into RDP, SSH, VNC, and 150+ other connection types, so the password layer and the connection layer work together instead of being managed separately.

Who it suits, and when to look at PAM instead

Password Manager is the right fit when the main problem is team password sprawl: shared accounts, inconsistent MFA, and credentials scattered across tools. It is also the natural choice for teams that want credential management and remote connection management from the same platform.

If the requirement is stricter — just-in-time elevation, automatic password rotation, session monitoring, and an audit trail for compliance — that is the territory of Devolutions PAM, which the site describes as controlling privileged access with those capabilities. The two are complementary rather than competing: Password Manager handles team credentials broadly, while PAM handles privileged accounts with auditing and rotation.

Practical considerations before choosing

• Confirm platform coverage against your fleet. The listed platforms are Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android; check that this matches the devices your team actually uses.
• Decide whether you need PAM-level controls. Rotation, session monitoring, and audit trails are PAM features, not baseline Password Manager features, so teams with compliance requirements should evaluate both.
• Check packaging and pricing for your team size. Devolutions sells through solution packages and lists pricing and reseller options; the site does not state that the product is free, so confirm current terms before assuming cost.
• Plan for ecosystem expansion. If you expect to add remote connection management or automation later, adopting Password Manager inside the same ecosystem avoids a second migration.

For teams whose core pain is shared credentials and inconsistent MFA, Devolutions Password Manager addresses that directly. For teams that also need privileged access auditing and rotation, treat it as one layer of a larger setup rather than the whole answer.

Devolutions is an IT software vendor that bundles four product lines into one ecosystem: remote connection management (RDM), team password management (Password Manager), privileged access management (PAM), and IT automation (PowerShell Universal). It fits IT teams that want to consolidate remote sessions, credentials, privileged accounts, and scripting under a single platform instead of running separate tools for each. The site reports more than 1 million IT professionals across 140+ countries using it, with 200+ integrated tools.

The four product areas

The ecosystem is organized around four jobs, and each maps to a specific product:

RDM is the common entry point — the site notes most teams discover Devolutions through it, then extend to the other products.

Platform coverage

RDM and Password Manager both list clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, so mixed-device teams can use the same credential and connection layer across desktop and mobile.

Packaged solutions

Rather than buying products individually, you choose a package by use case. The site lists four:

• Remote desktop management & IT operations — RDM, Gateway, Password Manager. Centralizes remote connections, credential management, access policies, and IT workflows.
• Privileged access management — PAM, RDM, Password Manager. Enforces least privilege, rotates passwords, monitors activity, and supports audit and compliance requirements.
• IT automation with PowerShell Universal — dashboards, REST APIs, scheduled jobs, and administrative workflows. A Developer edition is listed at $0, alongside free and full editions.
• Remote access management — Gateway, Password Manager. A secure entry point for segmented networks with JIT access, session monitoring, and MFA enforcement, positioned as a lightweight alternative to VPNs.

Who it's for

IT professionals and teams that need to manage remote sessions, shared credentials, and privileged accounts with an audit trail — and that also want to automate routine tasks. If you only need a single remote desktop client, the broader ecosystem is more than you need; if you're replacing a password manager, a PAM tool, and a scripting patchwork separately, the consolidation is the point.

Pricing and buying

Pricing is handled through a dedicated store page, and Devolutions also lists a reseller directory and a reseller program for organizations that buy through partners. Check the store page for current figures, since the site does not publish per-product prices in the overview content.

Devolutions RDM (Remote Desktop Manager) is a remote connection management tool that lets IT teams launch and organize RDP, SSH, VNC, and 150+ other connection types from a single workspace, with credentials injected automatically. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It fits teams that juggle many remote sessions across different protocols and want one place to launch them, rather than a single-protocol client or a plain password list.

What RDM actually does

The core job is consolidation. Instead of keeping separate clients, saved sessions, and credential notes scattered across machines, RDM puts every remote session in one organized workspace. From that workspace you:

• Launch and manage RDP, SSH, VNC, and 150+ other connection types.
• Have credentials injected automatically when a session starts, so you are not retyping or pasting passwords each time.
• Work across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

The automatic credential injection is the part that changes daily workflow: it removes a manual step and keeps the password out of the clipboard and off a sticky note.

Where it sits in the Devolutions ecosystem

Devolutions positions RDM as the entry point most teams discover first, then expand from. The same platform covers adjacent needs:

If your only problem is launching remote sessions, RDM alone addresses it. If you also need to control who can reach privileged accounts and keep an audit trail, that is where PAM and Password Manager come in.

Bundled packages and how to choose

Devolutions sells by use case, bundling products together:

• Remote desktop management & IT operations — RDM, Gateway, Password Manager. For centralizing connections, managing credentials, enforcing access policies, and standardizing workflows.
• Privileged access management — PAM, RDM, Password Manager. For least privilege, password rotation, activity monitoring, and audit/compliance requirements.
• IT automation with PowerShell Universal — Developer edition listed at $0, with free and full editions. For dashboards, REST APIs, scheduled jobs, and administrative workflows.
• Remote access management — Gateway, Password Manager. A secure entry point for segmented networks with just-in-time access, session monitoring, and MFA enforcement, described as a lightweight alternative to VPNs.

Pick by the problem you are solving now, not the largest bundle. Connection sprawl points to the first package; compliance and privileged-account control point to the PAM package.

Practical notes before you commit

• Confirm platform coverage against your team's devices — RDM covers Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, but verify the specific connection types you rely on are in the 150+ supported set.
• Check current pricing and editions on the store page rather than assuming a tier; the automation product's developer edition is listed at $0, but other packages are not stated as free here.
• If you need to buy through a partner, Devolutions lists a reseller directory and a reseller program.
• Start with a trial or download from the download center to test credential injection against your real sessions before rolling out.

The signal that RDM is a fit: your team spends time switching between remote clients and handling credentials by hand. The signal it is not enough on its own: you need privileged-access auditing or script automation, which means adding PAM or PowerShell Universal.
