HWMonitor

Beyond the technical abilities of HWMonitor the low price point is another reason to consider the tool. The standard version of HWMonitor is available for free, putting it in the reach of SME’s and larger organizations. However, there is a Hardware Monitor Pro version that includes additional logging capabilities, remote operation, and graphing. The price of HWMonitor Pro is $22.40 (£17.69) for 10 remote connections and $39.33 (£31.05) for up to 20 remote connections.

Atera

The Atera system is a cloud-based service that includes server time and space for processing and storage, so the MSP that signs up for this package doesn’t need to have any major infrastructure on its own site. The remote systems being monitored do need to have agent software installed, however. The MSPs managers and technicians access the Atera dashboard through any standard web browser. Atera also produces free apps for mobile devices to give access to the system.
