Vendor Training

Let's be honest — your techs don't know
everything in every license tier.

WatchGuard, Fortinet, SonicWall, Sophos, Meraki, Palo Alto — each vendor has multiple tiers, bundled features, and add-ons that change every year. Nobody has it all memorized.

MSP Renewals puts that knowledge at your fingertips — so you can explain it clearly, sell it confidently, and renew it at the right margin.

That's a lot to know. And when a client asks "what exactly am I paying for?" — you shouldn't have to guess or go look it up.

Every vendor, decoded

Clear breakdowns of what's actually included in each license tier — written for MSPs, not for vendor marketing teams.

WatchGuard
Basic Security SuiteTotal Security Suite

Most MSPs sell TSS without knowing it includes DNSWatch, APT Blocker, and Threat Detection & Response — features your clients are already paying for.

Fortinet
UTPATPEnterprise

The difference between UTP and ATP is often $800/year. Knowing when a client actually needs ATP vs. UTP is money in your pocket.

SonicWall
EssentialAdvancedPremier

Premier adds Capture ATP and Content Filtering. Most SMBs don't need it — but some do. Knowing the difference protects you and your client.

Sophos
StandardEnhancedEnhanced Plus

Sophos Xstream architecture licensing is genuinely confusing. We break it down so you can confidently quote the right tier every time.

Cisco Meraki
EnterpriseAdvanced Security

Meraki's per-device licensing model trips up even experienced MSPs. Know exactly what's included before you renew.

Palo Alto
VM-SeriesNGFWPrisma

PA licensing complexity is legendary. DNS Security, Threat Prevention, URL Filtering — what's bundled, what's add-on, and what does your client actually need?

What this means for your business

Better vendor knowledge doesn't just make your team smarter — it directly impacts revenue.

Sell the right tier

Stop defaulting to the cheapest option because you're unsure what's included. Know the value, communicate it, close at the right margin.

Train your team faster

New technician? Instead of waiting months for vendor certifications, give them a clear reference for what each license actually does.

Protect your clients

A client running Basic when they need Advanced is a liability. Knowing the difference means you can flag it before an incident does it for you.

Renew with confidence

When renewal time comes, you can look a client in the eye and explain exactly what they're paying for — and why it matters.

A real scenario

"A client asks why their renewal went up $400.
Can your tech explain it in 30 seconds?"

Without vendor training

"Um, I think they added some security features... let me check with my manager and get back to you."

→ Client questions the value. Renewal at risk.

With MSP Renewals

"You moved from Basic to Total Security last year which added TDR and APT Blocker — that's the threat detection layer that flagged that suspicious connection in March."

→ Client sees the value. Renewal closed.
