Our first DattoCon is in the books, and what a time we had! Talking with MSPs and vendors from across the world was a fantastic experience. We heard some amazing speakers and learned a lot in the sessions about emerging technologies.
We spent the majority of our time in the exhibit hall to learn what MSPs wanted when it came to DNS threat protection and filtering options. It was fantastic talking to current customers to find out why they love us. Also, we learned a lot from talking to potential customers to find out what would make DNSFilter an easier product to integrate into their current network.
One of the biggest takeaways we had is that large MSPs are most concerned with revenue and efficiency. These factors are usually paramount in an MSPs decision when choosing products to sell to their customers. One of the other major factors we realized large MSPs look for is the ability to quickly and easily contact vendors for support and input on product development.
DattoCon also gave us the opportunity to get to know our customers a little more in depth. We were able to get the chance to have dinner with some of our customers and soon-to-be customers.
This was a great way to find out more about why our customers love our product as well as what changes need to be made to keep DNSFilter’s status as the industry leader. This is the type of interaction that we really value at DNSFilter since we can easily translate this feedback into changes that will make our user’s experience that much better.
Why people at DattoCon ’19 loved DNSFilter:
- Works better than Cisco Umbrella
- Easy to use with a beautiful interface
- 25%-50% the price of Cisco Umbrella
DattoCon 2019 San Diego was a resounding success and we look forward to our next DattoCon! If you missed us at DattoCon, feel free to contact us with any questions and visit our website to set up a demo!
Why Scaling Your MSP Doesn’t Mean Hiring More Technicians
Growth should feel like progress. But for a lot of MSPs, there comes a point where growth starts to feel heavier instead. New clients are coming in, and revenue is rising, yet the day-to-day operation feels more stretched, not more efficient. The service desk is constantly busy. Senior techs keep getting pulled into escalations. The team is working harder just to maintain the same standard of delivery.The usual response is to hire more people. On...
The Hidden Cost of “Good Enough” Security in MSP Environments
“Good enough” security checks the boxes and keeps the dashboards green. It covers the basics and gets you through onboarding. But in MSP environments, “good enough” usually means nothing breaks badly enough to force action. And that’s exactly the problem.The tooling system doesn’t fail. It just becomes more expensive to run, gradually turning your service desk into a permanent cleanup crew.Over time, reactive security tools create a profitability...
SASE vs SSE: What's the Difference and Why It Matters for Your Security Stack
If you’ve spent any time researching modern network security, you’ve likely come across SASE and SSE used interchangeably, sometimes even in vendor messaging. The result is a lot of confusion around two concepts that are closely related but not identical.
