Vectis vs ConnectWise Asio.
ConnectWise Asio is a deep, bundled platform — PSA, RMM, security, and BI under one roof, sold by reps to mid-market and enterprise MSPs that want a single vendor. If you already run ConnectWise across the stack and want everything under one contract, Asio is the natural choice; look at them first. Vectis is broader in one specific way: it works with the tools you already run instead of replacing them, ships self-serve from $299/mo with no rep call, and joins Asio (or any PSA + RMM) into a unified customer workspace.

When to pick Asio
Their strongest case.
Pick ConnectWise Asio if you want one vendor to own the PSA, RMM, security stack, and reporting under one paper, and you have the procurement runway to negotiate it. Asio's depth inside ConnectWise's own products is real — if you've already standardized on ConnectWise Manage and want the rest of the suite to sit alongside it natively, the bundled experience is meaningfully tighter than stitching third-party tools together.
When to pick Vectis
Where we win.
Pick Vectis if you've made deliberate choices across PSA, RMM, backup, and billing and don't want to rip-and-replace to get a unified view. Vectis joins ConnectWise (or Autotask, or HaloPSA) with your existing RMM, backup, and distribution stack into one customer workspace, ships in fourteen days self-serve with no card, and stays month-to-month. The lever you give up is single-vendor consolidation; the lever you gain is keeping the tools your team already knows.
A concrete shopping decision
A 75-customer MSP walks into this question.
Take a 75-customer MSP running ConnectWise Manage, NinjaOne, Datto, and Pax8. Asio would ask them to migrate the RMM and the backup posture into ConnectWise's bundled stack to unlock the unified picture — a six-to-twelve-month project with a paper trail and a procurement cycle. Vectis joins the same four systems in an afternoon at $1,499/mo on the Growth tier, with the team's existing RMM and backup choices intact. The Asio path makes sense if the MSP wants to consolidate vendors; the Vectis path makes sense if the MSP wants the unified view without the consolidation.
