When your immediate goal is winning and retaining MSP clients, Pipsqueak gives you a repeatable path: identify an external risk, collect more evidence with Snapshot or internal discovery, explain the findings, and carry the priorities into the next QBR. Your team runs the assessments and controls the client conversation.
Create a free Community account and use the included 15-day Pro trial to test your sales workflow. Community includes Snapshot, Active Directory scans, /24 network scans, and watermarked reports. Upgrade to Pro for external risk prospecting, Microsoft 365 assessments, QBRs, CLI automation, and tenant-branded AI reports.
Consider Galactic when you need third-party validation and human-led penetration testing. Pipsqueak’s automated assessments support discovery and reporting; they do not replace an independent penetration-testing engagement.
Use an authorized environment to evaluate the evidence, report clarity, preparation time, and next steps each approach produces. Ask Galactic for a quote covering your MSP and any client environments. Compare that scope with the Pipsqueak features your team will use.
Pipsqueak is an alternative to evaluate for MSP prospecting assessments, client reporting, and QBR workflows. If your requirement is independent human-led penetration testing, evaluate that service separately from automated assessment software.
