MSP Business Model Fit
Designed from the ground up for MSPs with a multi-tenant console, white-labeling, simplified onboarding, and built-in tools to engage and protect clients.
Unified platform that covers endpoints, email, cloud apps, identities, user training, and insurance. No need to manage multiple vendors or tools.
Enterprise-grade EDR powered by SentinelOne, with AI-driven detection, automated remediation, and full MDR available out-of-the-box.
Native API-based protection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with proactive monitoring of cloud misconfigurations and risky user behavior.
Phishing simulations utilizing generative AI plus set & forget awareness training that all ties together with user risk.
Simple per-user pricing, usage-based billing, and everything included in one platform. Easy to sell, manage, and scale.
Traditional AV provider adapted for MSPs.
Multi-tenant support exists, but the console
and workflows are more complex and time-consuming for modern MSPs.
Endpoint and M365 and Awareness are supported but are siloed in their detection and reporting. Compared to a unified platform, do not secure email, data, dark web or browsing.
Solid AV with optional EDR and MDR add-ons. Effective malware protection, but lacking
AI-detection capabilities and limited automated response actions.
Offers email filtering and storage scanning, but no cloud configuration monitoring or integrated identity threat detection.
No user training or phishing simulation means
that it’s hard to identify which users bring risk to
an organization.
Flexible pay-per-use model, but requires MSPs to manage multiple SKUs, license types, and separate tools for a full offering.
Guardz provides an AI-native user centric approach specifically designed for MSPs. With advanced early threat detection and response, across security controls, Guardz empowers MSPs with enhanced, proactive protection that reduces manual dependency and uses automations to improve response times.

Huntress offers each of its services Managed EDR, ITDR, SAT, and SIEM as individually priced solutions rather than a bundled, all-in-one package. Each service has its own pricing structure and seems to live in a silo.

Guardz was built specifically for MSPs, with a multi-tenant console, easy client onboarding, and a unified experience across all security layers. ESET offers strong protection, but its platform was originally designed for direct business use, resulting in a more complex, fragmented experience for MSPs.
Guardz monitors for compromised credentials, suspicious login activity, and risky user behavior, and can automatically disable accounts when needed. ESET focuses on endpoint protection and doesn’t offer built-in identity threat detection or automated user-level response.
No. ESET requires MSPs to piece together multiple products — from AV and EDR to email and cloud protection — each with separate licensing and setup. Guardz delivers full-stack protection in one platform with simple pricing and centralized management.
With Guardz, MSPs manage all security controls—endpoint, email, cloud, identity, and training—from a single, intuitive console. ESET requires juggling multiple modules and interfaces, which adds complexity and overhead for busy MSPs.
Yes. Guardz uses an AI-native MDR plus human threat analysts and playbooks to automatically isolate infected devices, suspend compromised accounts, and remediate threats across attack surfaces. ESET offers remediation at the endpoint level but lacks automation across cloud identities and users.
Simplify your security management and enhance defense capabilities with an innovative AI-powered unified platform that connects the dots across M365/Google Workspace users, emails, devices, data, awareness, and more into a single backbone and provides aggregated views of detections, ensuring rapid and effective threat detection and response.
A user-centric approach is crucial to tie detections to specific users, making responses more actionable and practical.
By leveraging behavioral insights and threat analytics, it enhances incident response and builds trust, empowering MSPs to engage directly with business owners or employees to verify incidents and educate them effectively.
Guardz is the top choice for MSPs, offering a unified platform powered by AI to streamline cybersecurity and drive growth.
