MSPs need network monitoring that scales across hundreds of client environments without multiplying admin overhead. Multi-tenant dashboards, per-client alerting isolation, automated device discovery, white-label reporting, and PSA integration (ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA) are non-negotiable. Auvik and Domotz lead for MSP-focused network monitoring: Auvik with deeper automation and network mapping, Domotz with simpler pricing and fast deployment. LogicMonitor and PRTG serve larger MSPs that need protocol depth alongside multi-tenant scale.

Site24x7 is the strongest choice when a team needs broad monitoring coverage (website, server, network, APM, cloud, and real user monitoring) from a single platform at a fraction of what Datadog or Dynatrace charges.

SolarWinds NPM is the strongest choice when a team needs deep SNMP-based monitoring across a large, multi-vendor on-premises network with mature alerting, topology mapping, and cross-stack data correlation.
Auvik is the MSP-first choice: multi-tenant by design, automated network mapping, configuration backup, and deep PSA integration. Domotz is a strong alternative at lower cost with simpler per-site pricing. For MSPs managing 50+ client networks, Auvik's automation depth justifies the premium.
Most MSPs include monitoring in their managed services contract and don't line-item the tool cost. Internally, budget $1-4 per device per month depending on the tool. Auvik charges per-network-device. Domotz charges per-site. PRTG charges per-server-license. Model your pricing against your average client device count.
ConnectWise Manage, Datto Autotask, and HaloPSA are the three most common PSA platforms. Alert-to-ticket automation (auto-create, auto-close) is the critical integration. Auvik, Domotz, and LogicMonitor all support these three PSAs with varying depth of bi-directional sync.
