Hiring a managed service provider may be a lifeline for any business. But as crucial as MSPs might be for some, it’s important to outline the challenges they face on a daily basis.

If the MSP you’re collaborating with isn’t prepared to tackle these challenges, then you may need to reevaluate your relationship.

Here are just 3 hurdles you should watch out for!

Cloud Migration

With more businesses choosing to migrate all or at least part of their services to the cloud, many MSPs have had to quickly adapt to these new changes.

However, making the switch is not as easy as literally flicking a switch. If you feel that your MSP isn’t as diligent as they should be with these steps, it may be time to switch to a different provider.

Security

Security is a major challenge for any business, and the same can be said about MSPs.

Hackers have been known to target MSPs in the hopes that by bypassing their security, they will have full access to all their clients, thus putting several businesses in danger at once.

Staying up to date with the latest security measures and always keeping an eye out for threats is a crucial part of an MSPs role.

Confusing Arrangements

For a lot of non-IT professionals, some of the services offered by an MSP may be confusing. By not picking the right package, businesses may feel as though they’re not really getting what they’re paying for.

This also ties in with scalability, which is ultimately a good thing, but it can get equally as confusing when it is time to implement new services. That’s why it’s so important for an MSP to provide you with a clear outline of how they can help you and why.
