Mergers and Acquisitions: Cloud Monitoring Tools

Netreo is moving into a fast-growth market. Indeed, MSPs and CSPs crave public cloud monitoring tools that assist software migrations and ongoing IT management needs.

Still, the market is flooded with competition. M&A activity involving cloud monitoring tools has been steady to strong over the past few years. Plus, cloud and software giants like Microsoft and Google have developed multi-cloud monitoring tools to give enterprise IT professionals and MSPs a single, integrated view of cloud workloads.

Amid all those developments, only a few software companies -- including upstarts like Nerdio -- have successfully helped MSPs to monetize Azure cloud services.
