As an MSP, you operate in a highly competitive market. At Centreon, we believe that with the help of smart monitoring, MSPs will no longer have to choose between improving productivity, creating high value-added services and ensuring profitability.
With this objective in mind, we have designed an edition of our Centreon monitoring platform dedicated to MSPs, with a business model that’s perfectly adapted to the requirements of the new digital world.
Discover 4 levers provided by the Centreon MSP Edition to add value and make a difference for your customers.
Creating a more efficient service center
Your service center is the hot spot where teams provide clients with the best service. They monitor and manage infrastructure, conduct maintenance, manage tickets and troubleshoot or upgrade client systems.
Using Centreon MSP Edition, a monitoring platform dedicated to MSPs, you can centralize the monitoring data of all your clients within a single console and a unified user interface, the management and efficiency of your service center.
“With Centreon we are sure to respond quickly in the event of an incident or performance downgrading, with reinforced control of contractual service levels, and we can really improve the experience of our clients.”
Morgan Berton
Head of Monitoring – Hub One.
Leverage a range of Centreon features to enhance client support performance.
- Centreon Pollers collect monitoring data remotely or locally at the client’s site.
- Profile-based access control helps you organize teams efficiently and manage confidentiality.
- Remote servers provide your clients with a holistic view of their infrastructure without compromising security.
- The API-centric approach integrates the monitoring platform with ITSM, automation, or other tools.
- Over 500 ready-to-use monitoring connectors (Plugin Packs) to meet current and future client needs.
- The auto-discovery engine enables an always up-to-date configuration even in a cloud or software-defined environment.

Offering a more innovative portfolio of services
Productivity and efficiency gains are an essential part of being competitive, but alone, they’re not enough to stand out from other MSPs in your market.
You may beat the competition on pricing, but what is your real competitive advantage? Getting ahead of the curve requires a differentiated (and differentiating) service portfolio that goes well beyond monitoring and managed services.
Centreon MSP Edition brings you all the flexibility you need to create an innovative portfolio of services, in line with your clients’ expectations and creating value for them.
As a result, your loyal clients stay and your business thrives.

Manage ROI and pay the fair price
The Centreon MSP Edition includes all the advantages of the Centreon platform. Pricing is perfectly tailored to the needs of the MSP business. It’s an answer to a lot of tough questions: How can I anticipate the evolution of my monitoring capacities without taking a financial risk? How can I afford increased capacity while developing new business? How can I manage profitability even when losing clients?
The COVID-19 crisis highlighted a critical need for flexibility, as IT departments and therefore their MSPs had to demonstrate unprecedented agility.
Pay-Per-Use, the fair price for MSPs
We wanted to solve all of your concerns so we came up with a type of pay-per-use, pay-per-demand pricing system for our MSP clients.
A simple pricing scheme:
- We determine a custom, basic monthly subscription fee based on your needs, providing access to a certain number of Centreon MSP Edition licenses (250, 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000).
- We set the price for additional licenses based on your estimates.
- Every month, we automatically check the average number of monitored equipment. Only monitoring for additional equipment will be invoiced.
“We use Centreon to make sure we can see problems before our clients do. The reporting aspect is also valuable, as are the event diaries. With them, we can have an immediate view of any malfunction.”
