MSP COMPARISON · INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS · 2025
Managed Solution is a Microsoft-focused MSP with strong cloud expertise. Securafy combines Microsoft ecosystem mastery with Prevention-First cybersecurity purpose-built for regulated Ohio industries.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Managed Solution has earned a strong reputation as a Microsoft-centric MSP, with deep expertise in Microsoft 365, Azure, and Teams deployments. For businesses primarily seeking cloud productivity and Microsoft licensing, they are a capable partner. Securafy also provides full Microsoft ecosystem support — but wraps it in Prevention-First cybersecurity architecture, Zero Trust application control, and compliance management that pure Microsoft-focused MSPs rarely provide at depth. For Ohio businesses that need both modern cloud infrastructure AND security they can stand behind in a regulatory audit, Securafy is the more complete solution.

Common questions from businesses comparing Securafy and Managed Solution.
Yes — Securafy provides comprehensive Microsoft 365 and Azure management, including deployment, licensing optimization, Teams configuration, SharePoint, Exchange Online, and Azure infrastructure. This is fully integrated with Securafy's Prevention-First security layer, meaning your Microsoft environment is protected by Zero Trust application controls and 24/7 SOC monitoring — not just Microsoft's built-in security defaults.
Microsoft's native security tools (Defender, Conditional Access, Sentinel) provide a solid foundation but remain primarily detection-oriented. Securafy augments the Microsoft stack with ThreatLocker Zero Trust application whitelisting — which prevents unauthorized applications from executing entirely, regardless of how sophisticated the attack. This prevention layer is what gives Securafy's clients their zero ransomware incident track record.
For Ohio businesses in regulated industries, Securafy's Comply-CARE tier provides the most complete compliance management at a fixed monthly cost — covering HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, CJIS, and FTC Safeguards with gap assessments, continuous monitoring, policy documentation, and audit preparation included. Managed Solution provides compliance support but typically scopes compliance work as separate project engagements.
Securafy's pricing is published and transparent: $95–$115/user/month (Essential-CARE), $155–$185/user/month (Secure-CARE), or $210–$260/user/month (Comply-CARE) — all-inclusive. Managed Solution's total cost typically includes a managed service fee plus Microsoft licensing costs plus any compliance or security add-ons, which makes direct comparison difficult without a detailed quote. Securafy's all-inclusive model often results in lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. Securafy manages Microsoft licensing as part of all service tiers, including license optimization (ensuring you're not paying for unused seats or over-provisioned plans), CSP reselling at competitive rates, and migration assistance for businesses moving between Microsoft licensing programs. This is included in the monthly per-user rate — not billed separately.
