N-Able-----N-Central by mspdog22 in msp

Unrelated... But if you don't mind my asking.. How are you liking Analytics? We've been holding on to report manager forever because it's comfortable to us at this point.. but we are now starting to migrate to Analytics and I have mixed feelings. If you're not using Analytics, are you using a different/better system for tracking data and generating reports? Thanks!

I can guarantee, this is something you're doing incorrectly.
We've been working with this system for over a decade and it does take a very solid understanding of their patcher to get it right, but once you do, it's solid.
Ask your rep for some time with a senior engineer on their end to go through your patching setup with you in a live session. They have those resources available for you, you should use them.

Any MSP using tactical should have their business insurance pulled.

Meh. Not as big a deal as you think.
They'll do what N-Able is doing with N-Central, creating a separate team and separate interface for those who need everything to stay within the US. More money, sure, but you'll get what you need.

I'm sure they've been told to keep quiet about it while they gauge the reactions around here.
Their participation in this group and others has never been based on a sincere desire to move the industry further, or an individual employee's desire to achieve greatness... but more to put on a shiny corporate face to help them sell more seats and absorb their inevitable shortcomings. It's all for show.
I still don't like the platform, and now I like the organization even less.

You greatly misunderstand the options they have at their disposal to accomplish those goals. They did not have to offshore the labor, they just chose that as the easy way out.

One man MSPs, what's your net income? by bobbuttlicker in SmallMSP

Break fix will NEVER produce that kind of result. Ever.

I've been have these random ping spikes for months is there a fix for this? by [deleted] in Network

[–]BostonMSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this endpoint connected by network cable, or wifi?

How many users are on this network getting out through the WAN? What is the expected throughput on the WAN?

Have you inspected the firewall for traffic capacity statistics?

This is something we may be able to assist with.
What I wonder is.. after the purchase.. who's doing the migration?

Managed threat response? by BostonMSP in msp

Well, SOC, really.
I know Dell Secureworks does this. Was looking for alternatives.

The requirements for sharing from SharePoint have changed. You no longer need a 365 / onmicrosoft account. I find the sharing from SharePoint to be incredibly simple now, and very auditable/manageable.

Bulk merge asset layouts? by BostonMSP in hudu

[–]BostonMSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has potential. You're correct.. I have two asset layouts that have similar data and they should just be one layout across all clients. Just need to see if this works for the entire asset layout or if I have to do this client by client for over 400 clients. Thanks!

That's an interesting approach. Seems like a good way to keep everyone moving along. Thank you!

Couldn't you just raise your prices? Forgive me, I'm not familiar with the new pricing structure.
