GridVision released its multitenant automation and IT management platform designed specifically for SMBs and managed services providers (MSPs). The cloud-based solution enables users to manage on-premise and cloud-based assets, offering broad coverage from Windows servers and desktops to Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory, as well as Microsoft Office 365, in a single, comprehensive SaaS platform.

GridVision CEO Christian Ehrenthal provides a list of features that makes GridVision’s platform different from others on the market. He says, in addition to its 100 percent-focus on SMBs and MSPs, it stands out because of its simplicity and time-to-value/install-to-value of less than 15 minutes. 

Other features of the platform include:

  • subscription pricing, no maintenance fees 
  • zero-touch upgrades 
  • codeless extensibility 
  • cost predictability 
  • free IT service management applications (inventory, monitor, audit) 
  • packaged runbook library 
  • packaged and proven automation objects 
  • single pane of glass coverage across Windows servers and desktops, applications, Exchange, Office 365 and much more
  • powerful and extensible Automation-as-a-Service 
  • drag and drop automation canvas 

Ehrenthal adds that GridVision, the “Automation-as-a-Service” company, will enable MSPs to automate processes they now complete manually, saving time and money. Users can automate:

  • Discovery & Inventory. Centrally manage servers, desktop, roaming assets, Active Directory, Exchange, Office 365 and much more
  • Monitoring. Centrally monitor performance and health of on-premise and roaming assets
  • Auditing. Centrally audit on-premise and roaming assets for root cause analysis, compliance and security requirements.
  • Managing. Perform software inventory, task automation, or custom runbook automation without writing any code.
  • Reporting & Interactive Analysis. Provides a library of reports than spans devices, applications, services, users, exchange, active directory, office 365 and much more.

GridVision also supports adherence to service level agreements (SLAs) and delivering a better customer experience. Ehrenthal says automating processes with the GridVision platform will contribute to reduce labor costs and improved response times. It can also help you grow your business without adding new infrastructure or other resources. Your customers will find value in their resources managed remotely and seamlessly with an automated system.

In addition to using GridVision to manage your MSP, Ehrenthal points out you can also sell the platform to your SMB clients to manage their customer environments as well.
