MSP Software: SaaS or On-Premises?

No doubt, VARs and MSPs have a lengthy list of remote monitoring and management software from which to choose. Plus, many managed services platforms are now available on premises or as a SaaS (software as a service) configuration. Not sure which path to choose?

MSP Software: SaaS or On-Premises?

managed services SaaS vs on premises

No doubt, VARs and MSPs have a lengthy list of remote monitoring and management software from which to choose. Plus, many managed services platforms are now available on premises or as a SaaS (software as a service) configuration. Not sure which path to choose? Join The VAR Guy’s sister site, MSPmentor, on May 5 at 2:00 p.m. eastern for our next MSPmentor Live webcast: SaaS vs. On Premises MSP Software. Here’s what we’ll cover.

First, a bit of background: We’re shaking up the format a bit: The webcast will be a 40-minute fireside chat — even more interactive, featuring rapid-fire questions from attendees throughout the discussion.

We realize no two MSP businesses are exactly alike…

  • But are there certain business characteristics of MSPs that embrace SaaS-centric tools?

  • And are there different business characteristics of MSPs that continue to embrace on-premises RMM (remote monitoring and management) options?

We’ll cover both of those questions, and we’ll also explore whether SaaS-centric options can truly match the power and performance of on-premises options.

Our confirmed guest speakers include Dave Durkee, CEO of ENKI — a managed services provider that also has deep cloud expertise. Also, Nimsoft VP and GM Phil Laforge will be on hand to provide deeper insights from SaaS- and on-premises partners. (Nimsoft is sponsoring the webcast).

I look forward to your questions during this MSPmentor Live: Fireside Chat webcast.
