Key Differentiators to Compare

Contract Flexibility

Most MSPs want 1-3 year contracts. Ask about exit fees. Month-to-month deals (like ours) give you freedom but are rare.

Response Time Guarantees

Many MSPs say they're "fast." Few put it in writing. Ask:

  • What's the guaranteed response time for emergencies?
  • Is this in the contract or just marketing?
  • What happens if they miss the SLA?

Included vs. Extra Security

Security drives the biggest price gaps. Some MSPs bundle it all. Others charge per tool. Ask what's included:

Security Checklist

EDR/MDR endpoint protection
Email security & anti-phishing
DNS filtering
Dark web monitoring
Security awareness training
24/7 threat monitoring

Ask each MSP which of these are included and which cost extra.

How to Choose the Right MSP

Beyond this list, focus on finding the right fit for you:

  1. Know what matters most – Speed? Price? Security? Contract terms?
  2. Get 3+ quotes – Compare to learn the market.
  3. Check references – Ask for clients like you.
  4. Read the contract – Know exit terms and hidden fees.
  5. Test their speed – How fast do they reply during sales? That predicts service.
