Compare Guardz vs. OpenFrame

Guardz is the unified cybersecurity platform purpose-built for MSPs. We consolidate the essential security controls, including identities, endpoints, email, awareness, and more, into one AI-native framework designed for operational efficiency. Our identity-centric approach connects the dots across vectors, reducing the gaps that siloed tools leave behind so MSPs can respond to user risk in real time. With 24/7 AI + human-led MDR, Guardz utilizes agentic AI to triage at machine speed while expert analysts validate, mitigate, and guide response, giving MSPs scalable protection without adding headcount.

OpenFrame serves as an open-source IT and security solution designed specifically for managed service providers (MSPs) who are ready to stop allocating 30% of their revenue to third-party vendors. This platform integrates endpoint management, security monitoring, and automation, effectively replacing costly software such as ConnectWise, Kaseya, and Datto with proven free and open-source software (FOSS) options. It features AI assistants—Fae for end-users and Mingo for technicians—designed to automate repetitive tasks, thereby lowering labor expenses. The multi-tenant architecture allows for centralized management of all clients through a single interface. Noteworthy functionalities include cohesive endpoint management and security oversight, adaptable workflows enabled by a modular design, AI-driven automation for routine IT processes, and ongoing enhancements through community-led development. MSPs that implement OpenFrame often see a reduction in vendor payments by 20-35%, while their EBITDA can increase significantly from a range of 8-12% to as high as 50-60%. With its foundation built on reliable open-source tools that are already essential to critical global infrastructures, OpenFrame is positioned to empower MSPs to take control of their operations.
