For MSPs FAQ for endpoint protection software
What endpoint protection software features do MSPs need?
+
Multi-tenant dashboards with per-client isolation, PSA integration (ConnectWise, Autotask, Halo), white-label portals, per-technician or per-endpoint pricing with volume discounts, automated alerting with NOC escalation, and reporting that doubles as client deliverables.
How should MSPs evaluate endpoint protection software pricing?
+
Compare per-technician (unlimited endpoints) vs per-endpoint models. For MSPs managing 500+ endpoints with 2-3 technicians, per-technician pricing is almost always cheaper. Factor in PSA integration costs, add-on modules, and minimum commit requirements.
Can MSPs use the same endpoint protection software tools as internal IT?
+
Some tools serve both markets (NinjaOne, Datto), but MSP-specific features like multi-tenancy, white-labeling, and PSA integration are usually only available in MSP-tier plans. Internal IT tools (Intune, SCCM) lack multi-tenant architecture entirely.
