MSP tools are the numerous software and platforms these providers need to keep it 100 for their clients. Just like the Caped Crusader needs his Batarang, grapple gun, and smoke capsules to fight crime, MSPs need everything from RMM platforms and BDR systems to EDR software and IAM tools—holy acronyms, Batman.
To break down the right tools MSPs need to automate tasks, monitor systems, respond to threats, and most importantly, deliver value to clients, here’s a rapid-fire checklist:
Remote monitoring and management (RMM) platforms
Professional services automation (PSA) tools
Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) systems
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) software
Security Information and event management (SIEM) solutions
Patch management software
Vulnerability scanners
Identity and access management (IAM) tools
Seems like a lot, huh? Well, yeah, keeping a client’s digital world from falling apart takes a lot. But every tool plays a key role.
