MSP Network Assessment Software
Assess the environment. Explain what matters.
Pipsqueak helps MSPs assess networks, Windows hosts, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365, then turn technical evidence into business-friendly reports. Use it for pre-sales discovery, onboarding baselines, and recurring client reviews.
What is an MSP network assessment?
An MSP network assessment documents the devices, software, identities, configurations, and risks in a business technology environment. Its useful output is a prioritized explanation of what needs attention, why it matters, and what to do next.
Which assessment should you start with?
Start with a public-facing external scan when you need an initial prospect conversation. Use Snapshot to collect local evidence from Windows hosts. Move to internal network, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 assessments when deeper access is authorized and appropriate.
What can Pipsqueak discover?
Pipsqueak supports network inventory, operating systems, ports, services, software, storage, identity findings, endpoint security evidence, and sensitive-data risk mapping. Coverage depends on scan scope, available access, and the systems included in the assessment.
How do you turn findings into a sales conversation?
Agree on the business concern first. Group findings by impact and priority, explain the evidence in plain language, and recommend a specific next step. Keep the technical report available for validation while using the executive report to guide the decision.
Is network assessment software free?
Pipsqueak Community is free forever and includes Snapshot, Active Directory scanning, /24 network scans, and watermarked reports. New accounts receive a 15-day Pro trial. Pro is $250/month for the full sales and assessment workflow.
What should you confirm before scanning?
Obtain authorization, agree on scope, and review access requirements. Identify sensitive or fragile equipment before active scanning. Ordinary IT scanning should not be assumed suitable for operational technology or industrial control devices.
