MSP Reporting Software Comparison 2026

Not all MSP reporting software
actually reports to clients.

Most tools in this category help your team see data. Only one category delivers a finished, branded report to every client automatically every month. This page covers the difference and helps you choose the right tool for what you actually need.

Dashboard tools vs. done-for-you reporting: they are not the same thing

Both categories get called "MSP reporting software." One produces reports. The other helps your team build them. That distinction determines whether reports actually reach your clients.

Category 1
Dashboard Tools
BrightGauge / Liongard / IT Glue / Atera
  • Your team builds and maintains dashboards
  • Real-time internal visibility for your ops team
  • Requires configuration and ongoing upkeep
  • Clients still need someone to explain the data
  • Reports go out only if someone on your team sends them
Key takeaway

If clients are not receiving a formatted, branded document every month without your team doing any work, you have a dashboard tool, not a reporting service.

What each tool actually does for client reporting

Six tools commonly evaluated for MSP client reporting. The gap between what each tool does well and what it leaves undone determines whether reports reach clients.

BrightGauge
Dashboard builder
What it is
KPI and dashboard platform that connects to your PSA and RMM. Used by MSPs for internal operational visibility and goal tracking.
What it does well
Real-time data surfaces from ConnectWise, Autotask, and other PSAs. Flexible dashboard layouts. Good for monitoring your team's performance internally.
Client reporting gap
Does not automatically produce or deliver branded PDF reports to clients. Your team still handles formatting and delivery. Dashboard maintenance is ongoing.
CloudRadial
Client portal
What it is
Self-service portal platform where clients log in to view their data, submit tickets, and access documentation. Sold as a client engagement tool.
What it does well
Good for MSPs who want a client-facing portal. Integrates with ConnectWise and Autotask. Centralises client communication in one place.
Client reporting gap
Relies on clients actively logging in. Does not push reports to clients on a fixed schedule. Portal adoption varies significantly by client and industry.
ConnectWise
Native reporting
What it is
ConnectWise Manage includes Report Writer and built-in dashboard tools for tracking service desk and billing data across your organization.
What it does well
Deep native data access. Useful for internal operations reporting. Flexible query builder for generating custom data sets from your ConnectWise instance.
Client reporting gap
Designed for internal ops visibility, not client-facing delivery. Produces raw data views requiring a technician to interpret. No automated client PDF delivery. Breaks when ConnectWise updates its schema.
Atera
All-in-one RMM + PSA
What it is
All-in-one platform combining RMM and PSA functionality with flat-rate pricing per technician. Popular with smaller MSPs for cost predictability.
What it does well
Solid all-in-one toolset. Includes basic reporting features. Reduces tool sprawl for smaller teams. Good endpoint monitoring and ticketing.
Client reporting gap
Reports are functional but not designed as client-facing business documents. Limited branded PDF delivery. Better suited for internal monitoring than monthly client communication.
NinjaRMM
RMM platform
What it is
Remote monitoring and management platform with strong endpoint visibility, patch management, and alerting. Widely used as the RMM layer in MSP stacks.
What it does well
Excellent endpoint monitoring and patch management. Strong alerting and automation. Clean UI. One of the better-regarded RMMs for mid-size MSPs.
Client reporting gap
Does not produce formatted monthly reports from a service desk perspective. Reporting dashboards are internal. Best paired with a dedicated client-facing reporting layer like Roviret.
Roviret
Done-for-you reporting
What it is
A done-for-you MSP reporting service. Connects to your PSA and RMM via read-only API. Builds your branded template. Delivers reports to every client automatically each month.
What it does well
Handles everything: setup, data mapping, template design, monthly delivery, and API maintenance. Reports go out on a fixed schedule without anyone on your team touching them.
Pricing
$800/month flat for your full client roster. $1,500 one-time setup. No per-client fees. No ongoing maintenance from your team.

What each tool actually delivers for client-facing reporting

Five capabilities that determine whether clients receive a finished report each month.

The cost of not automating client reporting

$800/mo
flat rate for Roviret regardless of how many clients you have
70 hrs
average monthly time MSPs spend on manual reporting at 20 clients
30 days
from signed contract to automated reports going out to every client
01
Dashboard tools don't scale with client count

Every new client means a new dashboard build. BrightGauge, CloudRadial, and ConnectWise native reporting all require per-client configuration. Roviret adds new clients to the delivery queue without additional setup on your end.

02
Clients who don't log into portals don't see your value

Portal adoption depends on client behavior you can't control. A report pushed to a client inbox every month requires nothing from them. The format matters: a readable PDF wins over a login link every time.

03
API breaks are your problem with self-service tools

When ConnectWise or NinjaRMM updates their API, dashboard tools break until someone on your team fixes them. With Roviret, API maintenance is included in the monthly retainer. You file nothing.

Your PSA and RMM stay exactly where they are.

01

Connect

We connect to your stack via read-only API. NDA signed before any access is granted. Supported platforms: ConnectWise Manage, Autotask, Halo, NinjaRMM, Datto RMM, and N-able. We cannot write to or modify anything in your systems.

02

Build

We build your branded report template with your logo, your colors, and your client data laid out for a business owner to read without a tutorial. Metrics are mapped per account type so reports feel specific, not like a default export from a dashboard tool.

03

Deliver

Reports go out automatically every month on a fixed schedule. You review and approve, or we send directly. When PSA updates change API behavior, we fix it without you filing a ticket. That is the operational difference between a service and a platform.

Common questions about MSP reporting software

What is MSP reporting software?

MSP reporting software helps managed service providers track and communicate service metrics to clients. Tools fall into two categories: dashboard platforms your team monitors internally, like BrightGauge and Liongard, and automated reporting services that produce and deliver formatted PDF reports to clients on a fixed schedule, like Roviret. Most MSPs need the second category but buy the first.

What is the best MSP reporting software for automated client reports?

Roviret is the only done-for-you MSP reporting service that connects to your PSA and RMM, generates a branded PDF report, and delivers it to every client automatically each month. Unlike dashboard tools, Roviret requires no internal build time and no ongoing maintenance from your team. Setup is $1,500 one-time and ongoing service is $800/month flat.

What is the difference between BrightGauge and Roviret?

BrightGauge is a dashboard builder your team operates. It surfaces internal operational data in real time. Roviret is a service that produces and delivers finished, branded PDF reports to your clients every month with no work from your team. They solve different problems: BrightGauge gives your ops team visibility; Roviret gives your clients proof of value.

Does ConnectWise have built-in client reporting?

ConnectWise Manage has Report Writer and dashboard tools, but they are designed for internal operations, not client-facing delivery. They produce raw data views that require a technician to interpret. Roviret pulls ConnectWise data and turns it into a formatted PDF that a business owner can read in 5 minutes without calling you.

How much does MSP reporting software cost?

Dashboard tools like BrightGauge and Liongard charge per user or per integration, typically $200-$800/month. CloudRadial charges per client portal. Roviret costs $1,500 one-time for setup and $800/month flat for your entire client roster with no per-client fees and no team maintenance required.
