Tools such as a remote support solution will help you provide top quality service to your customers, improve your work efficiency, and cut costs.
Your customers demand the best service from you. After all, as an MSP they expect you to keep their IT infrastructure running smoothly. If a problem arises, they’ll expect you to fix it immediately.
There are several tools and services that MSPs can use to help meet these customer expectations. Many have been shown to help MSP technicians work more efficiently and keep customer satisfaction high.
While there are several solutions an MSP could use, in this article we’re going to look at the two remote support tools we see as the most essential for a MSP:
Remote Access
Remote Management and Monitoring (RMM)
Remote Access for MSPs
Remote access allows you to connect to a customer’s computer remotely. Once connected, you can view the screen of that device and take control. Remote support solutions are remote access products that include features aimed at helping IT technicians perform support remotely. These features include file transferring, update management, activity logs, and others.
If you’re still providing support to your computers in-person, you’re falling behind your competitors. Most MSPs provide support remotely, and looking at the benefits, it’s not hard to see why.
Remote support capabilities mean you don’t have to travel to your client’s site when troubleshooting their devices. You can remote in from wherever you are. This cuts down on travel costs while eliminating the time it takes to resolve an issue.
There are many remote support solutions. As an MSP, you need to find the one that offers the features you need, performs at the level you expect, and doesn’t cost you a fortune.
Based on that, we firmly believe that Splashtop Remote Support is the best remote support solution and an essential tool for any MSP.

RMM
Other than remote access, perhaps the other most essential tool for MSPs is a Remote Management and Monitoring (RMM) solution.
RMMs help you manage all devices and servers that you support. RMMs will monitor the activity and status of the devices you support. This helps MSPs stay proactive about supporting customer devices.
There are many RMM solutions available, and each offer a wide range of features. Some even include remote access features. In fact, several RMM solutions have partnered with Splashtop to include our powerful remote support tools to their packages, including:
