*SHI International hands off managed cybersecurity to Stratascale, a subsidiary company. In our analysis, SHI was given half the total points allocated to managed cybersecurity, as the company does not offer in-house managed cybersecurity alongside other services managed by a single integrated team.
“What attracted me to Corsica the most was the predictable billing. Whether it was break/fix issues or projects, I knew we wouldn’t have capital expenditures. We could actually get things done that we had band-aided.”
—Jake Hoag, Operations Manager

“Corsica didn’t come in and say, here’s what we can do for you, we can get rid of your IT dept. No, they want to work hand in hand with you and be a partner. It fits our model to a T.”
—Greg Sopcak, 1st VP of IT

Companies of any size that need comprehensive services, in-house managed cybersecurity from one integrated team, predictable monthly pricing with unlimited service consumption, and incident response services that are covered by a guarantee.

The bottom line
Both Corsica Technologies and SHI are leading MSPs. However, Corsica stands apart due to in-house managed cybersecurity services, the availability of a Cybersecurity Service Guarantee covering the cost of incident remediation services, and 100% predictable monthly pricing with unlimited service consumption.
