探花大神 for MSPs鈩 is a new product that brings 探花大神鈥檚 open directory platform鈩 into the MSP world.聽
In addition to the robust cloud directory and device management capabilities of the platform, 探花大神 for MSPs gives providers access to the Multi-Tenant Portal for the support and single-pane-of-glass features they鈥檝e come to rely on. The benefits of 探花大神 for MSPs go beyond features and capabilities, with ticketing and billing integrations with PSAs, a revamped pricing and packaging plan, and the 探花大神 Ascent Partner Program that is designed to help you grow your business. MSPs can augment their existing tools and services, or consolidate their tech stack under 探花大神鈥檚 identity-centric modern platform.
Trialing various products and tools can take a considerable amount of time for MSP admins. This is especially true when the product in question has an extensive list of features and capabilities. 探花大神 has a number of high impact tools and components that trialing administrators will want to consider testing for themselves and their customers.
The content below is not intended to be an exhaustive list of 鈥淗ow To鈥檚鈥 or a substitute to Knowledge Base articles. Rather, it should serve as a roadmap for getting the most out of your 探花大神 trial.
Before you Start: Establish Your Goals
Before your trial, determine what you want to achieve with 探花大神. An MSP looking to meet the specific needs of a single customer will have different priorities than an MSP exploring the notion of offering things like SSO or MDM across their entire user base.
Before beginning your 探花大神 trial, use the following categories to assess your MSP鈥檚 and clients鈥 current and future needs.
1. Current Needs
First, establish a list of features and capabilities that would meet the current needs of your customers today.
- Do you have customers that have specifically requested something like a RADIUS implementation for their Wi-Fi or VPN connections?
- Are you implementing SSO for your customers on a regular basis and need to standardize directory services and processes?
- Is there an immediate need for identity or device management in your clients鈥 organizations?
2. Future Needs
Next, analyze the potential future needs of your current customers to see if there should be additional testing.
- Do you foresee compliance or audit needs arising more frequently for your clients? Are you looking for device policies to achieve PCI or HIPAA compliance?
- Are there large infrastructural changes occurring in your client environments that identity management or device management would add value to?
- Are there existing products or services that would be beneficial to bundle under a single product like 探花大神?
3. Broader Goals
Then, determine if specific features or aspects of 探花大神 fit into the broader strategic goals of your business or differentiate you from competitors in your market.
- Are you looking to specialize in a type of service that is in demand in your market?
- Are there gaps in offerings that are not being met by other providers? Apple Device management is often a differentiator with MSPs, or you could specialize in working with customers that lack traditional directory infrastructure like on-prem domain controllers, for example.
At the Beginning: Collect your Logins
Getting 探花大神 up and running requires setup in various environments and services. To avoid disruption and to have a generally smooth trial experience, collect relevant login details and ensure that you have necessary emergency access methods.
When trialing a product like 探花大神, preparedness can go a long way in getting the most out of your trial. Here are some things to have readily available when you start.
1. Admin credentials
- Dummy user account login credentials (for testing)
- Account information for single sign-on (SSO) testing. In the event of misconfigured SSO settings, you want to be able to avoid a complete lock out.
2. A checklist of the features you want to test and the information you need to set them up
- Test SSO with various SaaS products (i.e., Zoom SSO, account owner setup)
- MDM setup (Apple Business Manager application for customer or MSP environment)
- App deployment testing: Have license keys available for the installers you鈥檙e looking to test
- Prepare a list of powershell or terminal commands regularly used by technicians to save time
3. Take a look at documented workflows you have in place for things like:
- Provisioning users
- Permissions
- App access
- Deploying new workstations
- Apps to install
- Settings or device limitations
