Ten reasons why it’s time to change to NETGEAR’s Insight Pro
Here are ten reasons why you’d want to deploy Insight Pro:
- We are a proven reliable partner. At NETGEAR, we are very proud to have been serving the channel since almost 25 years. We have been serving our small business customers exclusively through channel partners and we plan to continue that for the next 25 years.As a reseller or service provider, you are probably bombarded with all kind of new vendor offerings every day. Picking the right vendor is hard. You never know how they will treat you when you start doing business with them. The need for a reliable long-term profitable relation with a loyal vendor is probably among the most mentioned criteria by our channel partners. It’s one thing when you resell a piece of hardware every now and then, but imagine when you have the customer network running 24/7 under your responsibility. Things become suddenly much more critical - and reliability of that vendor is crucial.
- We have a complete networking portfolio for SMBs. We can help you with hundreds of products across routing, wired and wireless networking and network storage. Our latest innovations have remote management, plug-and-play set up, with app and cloud user interfaces. One stop solution for SMB networking also allows you to standardize on one consistent way of configuring networks, backed by 24/7 support and industry-leading warranty terms.
- We help you build a recurring revenue model. Rather than selling boxes, NETGEAR Insight Pro enables you to sell uptime, remote management and monitoring services with a monthly or yearly subscription. Make it part of a managed service plan and charge on a per user, per month basis. Which means you don’t just sell technology - you sell peace of mind and a planned future for the way your customers handle data and connectivity. It means lowering capital expenses pressure for your customer and enjoying the benefits of a monthly income cycle. Make it a project and charge extra for user installation, configuration and migration from their previous environment.
- We help you with great technology under the hood. Our Insight Pro cloud back end and apps have been reviewed with “thumbs up” by independent testers like Tolly Group and Miercom. Not only is Insight Pro extremely secure and thoroughly engineered, it also saves you time with service delivery, customer management, and the ability to completely manage highly distributed networks remotely. Miercom tested NETGEAR Insight Pro against other industry offerings in the application’s capability to handle the specific needs of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to maintain multiple clients within a single account. They noted that Insight Pro is the ideal “low-cost, multi-function solution that enables administrators to maintain seamless, effortless control over a complex system right at their fingertips.”
- Insight Pro allows you to take advantage of IT Automation and cloud efficiency. Karl W. Palachuk, who built and sold two successful MSP businesses, shared his experience in delivering IT services. At ChannelPro’s 2018 SMB Forum he presented a workshop called The Killer Combo: Cloud Services and Managed Services. He lists 25 unbreakable rules of service delivery. One of them is to always account for the time spent with each customer by logging everything you do — including labor time — in a ticket. As he puts it, “No service tickets, no work.” The single-pane-of-glass management in Insight is easy to use and efficient, regardless of geographical location and guarantees a struggle-free experience when working on your customer’s networks, dealing with incidents, firmware updates, changes and configurations.
- You can’t do it alone. And every customer is different. We acknowledged that while designing Insight. Your customer may or may not want viewing or admin rights for themselves in their network. Sometimes they want to be the owner of the network equipment, but often this is now outsourced, where you would provide the hardware as part of “Network as a Service (NaaS)”. Insight Pro facilitates various models of ownership and admin configurations. In the way privileges and rights are set up, we help with workloads distribution across multiple roles.
- Always busy and on the road? We thought of that too. Insight has a fully functional mobile application support - manage any customer network from any location with Insight for iOS or Android. With the knowledge and experience of selling over 50 million network devices, we have cranked up the ease of use and innovation of device onboarding. Which results in an industry-leading set of time-saving deployment measures; you can set up a network device anywhere in under 10 minutes. You can even preconfigure a device and have someone else drop it off at the customer. Once booted up, the device will auto-configure and connect to your Insight cloud.
- Always know what’s going on. It is highly valuable for yourself as well as for your customer to know how their network is performing. With Insight Pro, you can figure out quickly where there are bottlenecks. Insight Pro helps you with a wide range of metrics viewable through logging and reports.
- Let’s talk about money. NETGEAR’s Insight Pro is creating more affordable networks than other vendors. Therefore, you have both an easier sell to your customer and a higher margin. Even first-year deployment value outweighs its competitors, Miercom found. We will be happy to plug your specific customer situation in our Total Cost of Ownership tool to show the math. But more importantly, since we don’t advertise Insight Pro pricing directly, we give you freedom and flexibility to work out the best pricing model with your customer without having to deal with confusing online pricing.
- It’s not just us saying it, it’s industry experts. “Based on our observations, we found that the NETGEAR Insight Pro product line and cloud-based control provided the best value and an efficient "ground-up", multi-tenant, multi-location platform for central management of SMB site,” said Robert Smithers, CEO, Miercom. “Insight Pro’s network management functionality is representative of the expansive shift towards cloud-based solutions; which reduce cost while providing more value than its competitors, earning the Miercom Performance Verified certification
