Another security vendor has entered the managed services ring by offering a channel program for MSPs. ESET, maker of endpoint security and anti virus technologies, today launched its own MSP channel program to help MSPs deliver managed security services to their customers. The new program focuses on changing ESET's licensing models to help MSPs build their practice by decreasing license costs as their customer base increases.
“We listened to our partners and created a pricing and management model for MSPs that works the way they work,” said Matthew McManus, vice president of sales and marketing, ESET North America. “We believe it will help our partners provide flexible implementation options while continuing to deliver the best endpoint security protection available. ESET relies on our channel partners to meet the varied needs of business customers. They do a great job, and we are actively looking to build our MSP partner network.”
ESET will also attract MSPs to its program via the ESET Remote Administrator. The ESET Remote Administrator supports managed services while remaining Remote Management Module (RMM) agnostic, allowing administrators to remotely access and control their antivirus implementations without constraining the administration server to run on a specific vendor or hardware configuration.
“ESET has the right mix of best-of-breed technology combined with forward-thinking programs to help MSPs easily leverage the technology across our client base, and move into the world of per-user, per-month pricing,” said Eric Egolf, president, CIO Solutions, an ESET partner. “We have found out the hard way that not all MSP-friendly technologies are good enough to be considered best-of-breed. ESET continues to retain the technology edge that originally made them our top choice.”
Availability: The ESET MSP offering is currently available to ESET partners throughout North America.
