Managed service providers face margin pressure. Security services require skilled analysts. Log volumes grow faster than revenue. Clients expect 24/7 monitoring at commodity prices. Traditional approaches do not scale profitably.

LogZilla transforms MSP economics with AI-powered multi-tenant log management. Automate threat detection. Reduce analyst workload. Deliver better outcomes at lower cost.

MSP Business Challenges

Service providers face structural challenges:
