FAQ
TL;DR
• Todyl is a genuinely useful MSP-native platform. Combining SASE, SIEM, EDR and MXDR in one per-user subscription solves real consolidation problems for MSPs who need network and endpoint in one place.
• The managed SOC depth in its MXDR capability is developing. MSPs who need a dedicated 24/7 SOC with established response operations will find it less mature than specialist MDR providers.
• IoT and OT devices are not covered as independent detection surfaces. For clients with manufacturing equipment, healthcare devices or operational technology on the network, that is a meaningful gap.
• There is no named security director per MSP partner. The platform surfaces findings. Nobody is assigned to work with your team on what to do with them.
• enhanced.io is the strongest alternative for MSPs who need deeper SOC operations, IoT/OT coverage, cross-surface correlation and a named Fractional Security Director. It covers all five surfaces and is the natural next step when your clients need more than a platform can provide.
The problem
Todyl has built something genuinely useful for MSPs. The combination of SASE networking, SIEM, EDR and managed detection in one per-user subscription addresses one of the real operational frustrations in MSP security stacks: network and endpoint visibility scattered across separate vendors with separate billing, separate portals and separate support relationships. The three-tier packaging gives practices a clear path from basic to complete as their clients grow. That is a real product solving a real problem.
The gaps become visible when clients outgrow what a platform-first model provides. Todyl MXDR is a managed SOC layer, but it is a newer and still-developing capability compared to providers whose entire business is dedicated SOC operations. MSPs who need the depth of investigation, response and threat hunting that a specialist MDR provides will notice the difference. A platform that surfaces alerts is not the same as a SOC that acts on them.
IoT and OT coverage is a specific gap that matters for a growing number of MSP clients. Manufacturers, healthcare providers, facilities managers and logistics companies all have devices on their networks that are not endpoints and not cloud workloads. Todyl does not cover those surfaces as independent detection sources. For MSPs whose client base is moving in that direction, that is a gap that will only grow.
The absence of a named security resource per MSP partner is the third issue that MSPs moving beyond Todyl consistently raise. The platform tells you what it found. It does not assign someone to work with your team on what it means, what to prioritise and how to build security posture for each client over time. enhanced.io provides that alongside deeper SOC operations and the surface coverage that Todyl does not reach.

Alternative 1: enhanced.io
Best overall Todyl alternative for MSPs: dedicated SOC operations across all five surfaces including IoT/OT, with a named Fractional Security Director where the platform leaves off
What it is
enhanced.io is a SOC-as-a-Service built exclusively for the MSP channel. It runs on an Open XDR platform and ingests independent telemetry from endpoint, network, cloud, identity and IoT/OT as separate data sources, correlating threats across all five surfaces in a single platform. Every MSP partner gets a named Fractional Security Director (FSD). The FSD works directly with the MSP to translate SOC findings into prioritised actions. The MSP acts. End clients never interact with the enhanced.io team.
Why it stands out against Todyl
• Todyl covers network and endpoint. enhanced.io covers both of those surfaces and adds cloud, identity and IoT/OT as independent telemetry sources, correlating threats across all five. A client who adds an OT device, a cloud workload that sits outside the endpoint or an identity risk that does not trigger an endpoint alert is visible to enhanced.io and invisible to Todyl.
• Todyl MXDR is a developing managed SOC capability. enhanced.io runs a dedicated 24/7 SOC with human analysts who investigate and respond to confirmed threats as their sole purpose. That is not a difference of degree. It is a difference in what the service is.
• enhanced.io assigns a named Fractional Security Director to each MSP partner who works with the team to translate SOC findings into a prioritised action plan and build security posture for each client over time. Todyl surfaces findings through its platform. There is no equivalent named person working with your team.
• enhanced.io connects with 400+ integrations and works across the mixed client stacks that MSP portfolios contain. Both platforms are channel-only. enhanced.io adds the SOC depth, surface breadth and named security resource that Todyl does not offer.
• enhanced.io is channel-only. No direct sales to end clients, ever.
Strengths
• Endpoint, network, cloud, identity and IoT/OT covered in one platform
• Independent telemetry from each surface with cross-surface threat correlation
• 400+ integrations with the tools MSPs already use
• Named Fractional Security Director per MSP partner
• Channel-only model. No risk of the vendor competing with your clients.
Who it suits
MSPs whose clients have IoT or OT infrastructure in scope, or who need deeper SOC operations and a named security resource alongside their network and endpoint detection. Strong fit for MSPs with compliance-pressured clients where detection breadth and response depth both matter, or for MSPs who have found that a platform surfacing alerts is not the same as a SOC acting on them.
Price: Contact for MSP pricing Per-user and per-endpoint options. Structured for channel economics. Pricing verified from public sources, early 2026. Verify directly with enhanced.io.
Alternative 2: Huntress
Best for MSPs who need deeper endpoint and identity MDR than MXDR provides, at a transparent per-unit price
Huntress is an MDR platform built for the SMB-focused MSP. It covers endpoint detection and ITDR across Microsoft 365 and Active Directory with a SOC that investigates and confirms threats before alerting MSPs. For MSPs who have found that Todyl MXDR does not provide the endpoint detection depth or confirmed-threat alerting model they need, Huntress is the most direct step up on those specific surfaces. It is not a replacement for Todyl network coverage, so MSPs moving to Huntress for endpoint depth will typically keep Todyl or another tool for network visibility. For a single provider covering both surfaces with deeper SOC operations than either, enhanced.io is the answer.
Strengths
• Deeper endpoint and identity MDR than Todyl MXDR currently provides
• Confirmed threat alerts. SOC investigates before escalating.
• Endpoint detection and ITDR for Microsoft 365 and Active Directory
• Transparent per-unit pricing with no minimum commitment
• Channel-only. No direct sales risk.
Weaknesses
• Does not cover network, so it does not replace Todyl network visibility
• Cloud and IoT/OT are not covered as independent detection surfaces
• No named dedicated security resource per MSP partner
Best for
MSPs who need deeper endpoint and identity MDR than Todyl MXDR provides and are happy to run a separate tool for network coverage, and whose clients do not yet need cloud or IoT/OT detection.
Price: $$ ~$8.99/endpoint/month. ~$4.80/identity/month for ITDR. Transparent per-unit. Verify directly with Huntress.

Alternative 3: Blackpoint Cyber
Best for MSPs who need autonomous SOC response for endpoint and identity from a more established SOC operation
Blackpoint Cyber provides active MDR with a 24/7 SOC that acts autonomously on confirmed threats without waiting for MSP approval. Its SNAP-Defense platform has more established SOC operations than Todyl's developing MXDR capability. For MSPs who specifically need the SOC to act rather than alert, Blackpoint provides that autonomous response for endpoint and identity. Like Huntress, it does not replace Todyl network visibility and MSPs would typically run both. For a single provider covering network and endpoint with deeper SOC operations and autonomous response, enhanced.io covers all five surfaces.
Strengths
• More established SOC operations than Todyl MXDR
• 24/7 SOC with autonomous threat response. No approval gate required.
• Patented live network map for lateral movement detection
• Purpose-built for MSPs with a channel-only commercial model
Weaknesses
• Does not cover network as independent telemetry, so it does not replace Todyl network visibility
• No named dedicated security resource per MSP partner
• Limited third-party tool correlation outside its own stack
Best for
MSPs who need autonomous SOC response from a more established MDR operation than Todyl MXDR and are happy to run a separate tool for network coverage.
Price: $$ ~$8-10/endpoint/month. Volume discounts at 50+ endpoints. Verify directly with Blackpoint Cyber.

Alternative 4: Arctic Wolf
Best for mid-market SOC operations with a named security team and multi-surface coverage, if the direct sales model is acceptable
Arctic Wolf covers endpoint, network, cloud and identity with a named Concierge Security Team per account and active SOC operations. For MSPs who are moving away from Todyl specifically because they need deeper SOC operations, broader surface coverage and a named security resource, Arctic Wolf provides all three at a higher price point. It is a meaningful step up in SOC depth and a natural comparison for MSPs evaluating what comes after a platform-first tool. The channel conflict caveat applies: Arctic Wolf sells direct to end clients alongside its MSP partner program. enhanced.io delivers the same named security resource and broader surface coverage including IoT/OT, with a fully channel-only model.
Strengths
• Deeper SOC operations than Todyl MXDR
• Coverage spans endpoint, network, cloud and identity
• Named Concierge Security Team per account
• Strong compliance and audit reporting
Weaknesses
• Sells direct to end clients alongside its MSP channel. This is a structural channel conflict risk.
• Pricing and packaging primarily designed for direct enterprise buyers
• Not natively built around MSP multi-tenant operations
• No IoT/OT coverage
Best for
MSPs who need deeper SOC operations, multi-surface coverage and a named security resource as a step up from Todyl, and who have carefully evaluated the channel conflict implications of a vendor that also sells direct.
Price: $$$ Custom quote. AWS Marketplace MDR Basic from $44,000/year (direct, up to 100 users). MSP pricing via partner program. Verify directly with Arctic Wolf.

Alternative 5: Sophos MDR
Best for MSPs already on Sophos endpoints who want an established MDR service with deeper SOC operations than MXDR
Sophos MDR covers endpoint, network and email with active managed detection and response and more established SOC operations than Todyl MXDR. For MSPs who are already on Sophos endpoints and have used Todyl for network visibility, Sophos MDR is worth evaluating as a consolidation path that adds SOC depth alongside network and endpoint coverage. It does not cover IoT/OT and there is no named security director per MSP partner, but it provides more mature SOC operations than MXDR for the surfaces it does cover. The $2,000/month minimum on MSP Elevate and channel conflict risk in certain markets are the key limitations to factor in.
Strengths
• More established SOC operations than Todyl MXDR
• Coverage spans endpoint, network and email
• MSP Flex billing model gives flexible per-client pricing
• Strong fit if already running Sophos on client endpoints
Weaknesses
• Best value if already on Sophos. Weaker as a standalone MDR choice.
• No named security director per MSP partner
• MSP Elevate requires $2,000/month minimum
• Sells direct in some markets. Channel conflict risk in certain regions.
Best for
MSPs already on Sophos endpoints who want deeper SOC operations than Todyl MXDR provides for their endpoint and network surfaces, without changing their existing endpoint tooling.
Price: $$-$$$ Custom via MSP Flex. MSP Elevate min $2,000/month. Verify directly with Sophos.

Alternative 6: CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR
Best for MSPs serving enterprise clients who need the strongest endpoint platform and have the budget for it
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR sits at the top of the market on endpoint detection quality. For MSPs whose enterprise clients need the strongest possible endpoint MDR and have the budget to match, it provides materially deeper endpoint detection than Todyl MXDR. The structural problems for MSP delivery are the same as they are throughout this comparison series: CrowdStrike sells direct to enterprise clients, it is not designed for MSP multi-tenant operations and network and IoT/OT coverage require additional products. For MSPs looking to solve SOC depth across all surfaces without those problems, enhanced.io is the right answer. For MSPs whose specific constraint is enterprise endpoint detection quality on a subset of clients, CrowdStrike is worth knowing about.
Strengths
• Best-in-class endpoint detection and response
• Deep threat intelligence from global research team
• Significantly deeper endpoint MDR than Todyl MXDR
• Falcon Identity Threat Detection included
Weaknesses
• Premium pricing. Often out of reach for SMB-heavy MSPs.
• Not designed for MSP multi-tenant delivery
• Network and IoT/OT coverage requires additional products
• Sells direct to enterprise clients. MSP channel is secondary.
Best for
MSPs serving larger enterprise clients who need the strongest endpoint platform available, have the budget for enterprise-level pricing and are not solving for network coverage or channel conflict.
Price: $$$$ Custom quote only. Base Falcon Enterprise ~$185/device/year. Falcon Complete MDR is significantly higher. Verify directly with CrowdStrike.

Alternative 7: ConnectWise SIEM
Best for MSPs deep in the ConnectWise stack who need basic SIEM and network monitoring without adding a new vendor
ConnectWise SIEM provides network and endpoint monitoring integrated with ConnectWise PSA and RMM. For MSPs who have used Todyl for network coverage and are already running ConnectWise tooling, it provides basic SIEM capability without adding a new vendor relationship. The trade-off is significant and worth being direct about: ConnectWise SIEM monitors and alerts but does not actively respond to threats, and detection depth is materially below Todyl and well below enhanced.io. It is a step backward in capability, not forward. The only scenario where it makes sense as a Todyl replacement is for MSPs who specifically need to reduce vendor count within the ConnectWise ecosystem and whose clients genuinely only need basic monitoring.
Strengths
• Integrated with ConnectWise PSA and RMM stack
• Provides SIEM and network monitoring within a familiar ecosystem
• Community threat intelligence sharing between ConnectWise MSPs
• Co-managed SOC option available
Weaknesses
• SIEM only. Not a full MDR or SOC-as-a-Service and a step back from Todyl MXDR.
• No autonomous threat response
• Detection depth is materially below Todyl and dedicated MDR providers
• Pricing has increased substantially and is reviewed as expensive for what it delivers
Best for
MSPs already on ConnectWise who need to keep SIEM and basic network monitoring within the ConnectWise ecosystem and whose clients genuinely only require monitoring rather than active SOC response.
Price: $$$ $$$ Custom quote. Per-user pricing model. Has increased substantially in recent years. Verify directly with ConnectWise.

What's the best Todyl alternative?
enhanced.io is the strongest Todyl alternative for MSPs who have outgrown what a platform-first model provides. It adds IoT/OT coverage, dedicated 24/7 SOC operations with human analysts, cross-surface threat correlation and a named Fractional Security Director per MSP partner. Both enhanced.io and Todyl are channel-only, which matters. The difference is what the service does after detection: Todyl's platform surfaces findings and Todyl MXDR is developing. enhanced.io's dedicated SOC investigates, responds and assigns a named person to work with your team on what comes next.
For MSPs who specifically need deeper endpoint or identity MDR without replacing Todyl for network coverage, Huntress and Blackpoint Cyber are the strongest secondary options. Huntress adds deeper endpoint and identity MDR with confirmed-threat alerting. Blackpoint adds autonomous SOC response. Both can run alongside Todyl to address the endpoint depth gap without removing the network coverage Todyl provides.
Most MSPs evaluating Todyl alternatives are not unhappy with the platform consolidation Todyl provides. They are recognising that as clients grow and security requirements deepen, a platform that manages and surfaces findings is not the same as a dedicated SOC that acts on them. enhanced.io is the natural next step when the clients you are protecting need more than a platform can provide.
