Fortinet
It is great for monitoring internet connections.
The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

SyncroMSP is great for MSPs starting out or wanting to keep their costs low. Some RMM software will charge per install - and price breaks only available as your base grows to a significant number. As Syncro is a "per agent" cost, the costs for an MSP are (a) known and (b) easily to manage as the team grows. The third-party integration element is very useful for MSPs looking to be able to not only onsell additional services, but the management of these services is simple for anybody to use

Panopta management from the cloud (remote panel).
Easy work on installation.
To monitor servers, it is enough for the server to have contact only with the Internet.

Multiple channels for sending notifications.

SyncroMSP Servably Inc
  • The integrated AV solution with Bitdefender is very cheap - yet very a very high quality NGAV solution. It allows us to ensure our clients have access to an NGAV solution at an affordable price
  • Syncro has allowed us to expend our business into new areas which were not able to be accessed previously. This means that we can now service our clients in different ways than previously.
  • The fixed cost pricing allows our teams to understand what their costs are - but also allow us to grow the business and customer base with no increase in costs until we increase our technical team.
