Invarosoft products are basic and rely heavily on manual inputs, costing you hours of labor to onboard and operate — on top of subscription fees.
Why do all that when you can automate client engagement preparation, backup monitoring, and vCIO services with ScalePad?

In addition to warranty tracking and asset lifecycle management, Lifecycle Manager from ScalePad allows MSPs to automate key tasks — like QBR preparation — and engage clients in planning with visual reports and roadmaps.
Warranty Wizard by Invarosoft does one thing: warranty status. It offers a limited view of asset data from a few select vendors for basic asset management. So all the work to fill in missing warranty status, share data with clients, plan refreshes, and protect assets? Yeah — it’s manual.
Lifecycle Manager supports 30+ OEMs for warranty lookups, including networking equipment. And you can plan and procure protection in the app based on that data.
Currently, Invarosoft’s Warranty Wizard only supports 3 OEMs for desktop and server warranty lookups. No network vendors, so you’ll still have plenty of manual work to do.
Lifecycle Manager can quickly generate an asset lifecycle report. And it has scorecards, roadmaps, and initiatives for engaging clients in collaborating and planning up to five years in advance.
Invarosoft’s Warranty Wizard can also generate an asset lifecycle report. But doesn’t have any planning features.
Lifecycle Manager provides access to workstation, server, and networking warranties, and free ScalePad IT Asset Disposal.
Ivarosoft’s Warranty Wizard can’t magically procure warranties or dispose of assets. It’s a time-consuming hands-on process.
Invarosoft’s Alert Centric just rounds up your backup applications’ status emails into a dashboard and highlights what was successful or not.
ScalePadBackup Radar does this. Plus it has over 300 integrations and a dozen API connections to automatically gather the data you need from your backup applications. And with ‘no results’ monitoring you’ll see any backups that didn’t run as scheduled, truly eliminating the risk of missing backups and losing client data.
Both Invarosoft Alert Centric and ScalePad Backup Radar gather results from your backups. But the similarities end there.
Backup Radar goes further with API integrations. It automatically groups, appends, and closes tickets so you can work efficiently from your PSA — without getting overwhelmed by tickets.
Alert Centric has an internal dashboard for technicians. But no tangible reports to share internally or externally.
Backup Radar’s comprehensive reporting gives clients peace of mind, internal teams clarity, and compliance entities the information they need.
Ivarosoft’s Alert Centric simply gathers status emails.
Backup Radar does that and outputs data to documentation platforms and data visualization tools. It connects directly via API for major backup applications and PSAs.
ScalePad Lifecycle Insights gives vCIOs the tools to show clients how investing in IT supports their business goals. It’s a robust platform with integrations, comprehensive vCIO tools, and dozens of templates that help you discuss budgets, risks, recommendations, or security.
Ivarosoft’s vCIO Hero zeroes in on manual audits and sales pitches, skipping past important conversation details about how technology impacts your clients’ business.
Showing clients a Total Cost of Ownership budget helps them see the full scope of their investment.
Easy to do with ScalePad Lifecycle Insights. Impossible with Invarosoft’s vCIO Hero, which only has basic budget capabilities.
Security is critically serious. Lifecycle Insights is too — it’s SOC2 compliant. You can assess your clients’ security status for CIS, CMMC, and other cybersecurity frameworks and report on their progress with security training.
Invarosoft’s vCIO Hero avoids the topic of security entirely.
You can do a lot with Invarosoft’s vCIO Hero, but it’s a lot of hands-on work with manual inputs.
ScalePad Lifecycle Insights has automation and dozens of templated assessments. Spend less time in the app and more with your clients.
Your clients’ data is safe with us. ScalePad as an organization, as well as Lifecycle Manager, Backup Radar, and Lifecycle Insights are all SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO 27001 certified.
