Managed Services Technology Provider Named Number One RMM Vendor Three Years in a Row; Also Earns Two Silver Awards as ChannelPro SMB Readers Spotlight the Channel’s Most Valued Vendors, Distributors and Professional Organizations

DURHAM, N.C., July 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --   SolarWinds MSP , a leader in delivering comprehensive, scalable IT service management solutions to IT solution providers and MSPs, today announced it is a gold winner in the remote monitoring and management (RMM) category in the 2018 ChannelPro Readers’ Choice Awards. This is the third year in a row the managed services innovator has earned the top RMM honor.

Additionally, SolarWinds MSP earned two silver awards:

  • Best PSA
  • Best Integrated RMM/PSA Suite

“We’re truly honored to receive this recognition from ChannelPro SMB’s readers,” said John Pagliuca, senior vice president, SolarWinds MSP. “We believe that earning the top RMM spot three years in a row really speaks to the consistency and value we aim to deliver to our partners and the SMB community. We sincerely thank all of those who voted for us as well as the ChannelPro SMB staff.”

The awards follow a year in which SolarWinds MSP continued to focus on its partner focused initiatives. Recently, it introduced a Security Resource Center that is designed to provide key information for MSPs about current security issues and trends, as well as recommended best practices, to help enhance protection for their business and customers. It also expanded its Empower MSP conferences to better serve its growing partner community.

ChannelPro SMB subscribers were invited to participate in the IT channel’s only SMB-focused Readers’ Choice Awards by casting their votes, via the publication’s website, for the vendors, distributors, and professional organizations with the most SMB- and partner-friendly solutions, services, or programs in the channel today. For each of the 50+ categories, readers were asked to select the option that best satisfies the unique business requirements, work styles, and budgets of their small- and midsize business clients, as well as those that best serve their own partner organizations.

The multiple choice survey, which provided space for write-in responses, was fielded during the first quarter of 2018 and drew participation from more than 800 channel VARs, MSPs, integrators, system builders, and IT consultants. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners are named in each category. A complete list of winners can be viewed on ChannelPro SMB .

“We are gratified such a large number of readers participated in our survey, underscoring their commitment to, and understanding of, the SMB market and the vendors, distributors, and professional associations with whom they partner,” says Michael Siggins, publisher of ChannelPro SMB. “The results are a true snapshot of the top IT product and service providers in today’s SMB channel.”
