Overview

ConnectWise bundles PSA, RMM and an expanding security stack, yet siloed modules and integration overhead can limit unified threat correlation and increase operational work.

enhanced.io’s MSP-native Open XDR unifies endpoint, network, cloud and identity telemetry under one console, integrating with existing workflows to scale security operations without added complexity.

Where

Connectwise

falls short for MSPs

Security siloes & integration overhead

Security siloes & integration overhead

Security siloes & integration overhead

Siloed modules mean MSPs juggle multiple dashboards, adding overhead.

Limited unified threat correlation

Limited unified threat correlation

Limited unified threat correlation

Threat correlation limited to ConnectWise tools, not full multi-vendor coverage.

Complexity & tool sprawl

Complexity & tool sprawl

Module sprawl slows response and increases workload for lean MSP teams.

Security‑native depth

Security‑native depth

Security feels bolted on, not built natively for unified detection and response.

Onboarding & customisation

Onboarding lacks expert guidance by default, adding time and cost for MSPs.

Hidden costs from add-ons

Why whole-of-network visibility matters

Why whole-of-network visibility matters

Why whole-of-network visibility matters

Modern attacks rarely stop at the endpoint or within a single module:

  • Cloud account takeover: Needs visibility across endpoint, cloud and identity.

  • Lateral movement: Detected only when correlating network and endpoint data.

  • SaaS API abuse: Requires integrated analytics across domains.
