When deploying an RMM tool across your fleet of endpoints, an important thing to keep in mind is what type of agents are supported. For MSPs that manage Macs in addition to Windows machines, you can rest assured that Automate has you covered when deploying agents to both.
Every MSP knows that there are several important pillars to endpoint management. Successfully managing each of these points is crucial to providing an overall fantastic client experience. Here are a few of what I consider the most important pillars to a successful MSP Management, and why:
Data Management & Security
Keeps your endpoints and connected networks safe from threats
Keeps a client’s data safe from catastrophic Loss
Standardization can assist in combating conflicts from multiple backup and A/V tools on your endpoints.
The room is quiet. A mug of coffee sits near a favorite old trinket. A cat curls up on the desk, laying as close as possible to the warm CPU of the laptop. It’s surprising that most of the world now sits at a desk in their home instead of going to work! This change has created a drastic change in the HR landscape, especially in the technology industry as it adapts from daily face-to-face collaboration - to working behind a screen, and how a company can still create a teamwork environment being miles away from one another.
The technology space changes quite rapidly. The days of value-added resellers being the only business in town was not that long ago. Managing an MSP requires a hunger for education. Most recently, a challenging labor market, evolving threat actors, and new tools with improved capabilities, have created more competition than ever within the industry.
Should I be using CW RMM?
Are you wondering if ConnectWise RMM is right for your business? This article will cover key business-focused pros and cons related to CW RMM. This article may help you navigate this decision for such a critical business tool for managed service providers (MSPs).
What’s the big difference?
ConnectWise currently supports two RMM products that, at their core, perform the same functions but have largely different approaches.
One of the more frequent questions that we get at ProVal is ‘What are the best practices for running ConnectWise Automate (CWA) on a Linux machine?’ The answer to this is far from simple. ConnectWise Automate was designed to work with windows and made to work on Linux and as a result, you essentially lose a lot of the core functionality that Automate provides.
With all things in our industry, we must lead with security in mind and your RMM is no different and arguably even more important to ensure strong security practices are followed. The attempts by bad actors have increased significantly in the last few years and show no signs of slowing, made worse by the feeling that they are always one step ahead of us and our available tools.
How to choose a backup solution?
Are you looking to identify an optimal backup solution for your business or end clients, but due to all the options, are having difficulty selecting the one that best fits your needs?

What is Maintenance Mode?
Maintenance Mode is a way to control what happens with monitoring for a computer during a certain time window.
Do you still want scripts to run but not get tickets? Maybe you want tickets but not scripts to run? Maybe you do not want either?
A good use case example is a small remote office, maybe this office runs off an unreliable power grid, so they shut down the server each night.
This day in age where IT is critical, businesses are looking for the best MSP out there, and sometimes it can be stressful when the client chooses another MSP or needs to cancel services.
