Are you a managed services provider (MSP or MSSP)? Are you tired of having to manually account for product and services usage by your customers, or hearing your operations team complain about manually creating and triaging tickets for security and product issues?
Have no fear: SonicWall is excited to launch the official integration of ConnectWise Manage with SonicWall’s portfolio of products. ConnectWise Manage is an out-of-the-box and easy-to-use integration that helps automate the invoicing and billing of security services for your customers. In addition, the integration automates the creation and processing of service tickets within ConnectWise Manage, including the automatic closure of tickets when alerts are closed in the product consoles.
SonicWall partners will now see a new menu option in MySonicWall for ConnectWise Integrations, under their My Workspace menu. Navigating to this page will allow them to not only set up the integration with their ConnectWise Manage instance, but also map tenants to companies.
With this integration:
- SonicWall hardware, software and cloud products are added to the product catalog, where partners can set their standard prices
- Active SonicWall software and cloud products are listed as additions to their company agreements of choice for automated product usage accounting and invoicing
- SonicWall hardware and virtual appliances are added as configurations, which can in turn be shared with other automation platforms like IT Glue
- Auto-creation of tickets is enabled based on alerts from Capture Client
This integration supports synchronization of all billable SonicWall products, including all current firewalls, Secure Mobile Access appliances, Capture Client, Cloud App Security and Global Management System, among others. While tickets are limited to alerts from Capture Client in this release, subsequent versions will bring alerts from firewall, Cloud App Security, Wireless and more.
With the recent changes to how you experience MySonicWall, the enhancements to Risk Meters, the recently launched MSSP Program, and now the launch of the ConnectWise Manage integration, if you’re a managed services provider, you can rest assured that SonicWall has your back!
