So 99.9% of the time if you are starting an MSP (Managed Service Provider), you will want to find free or low cost alternative tools until you hit a certain customer base or income amount. I'm going to list the top tools a startup MSP can leverage to save money. All of these will be on-premise self hosted.

  2. Passbolt - https://www.passbolt.com/ - Open Source Password Management

  5. IT Glue - https://www.itglue.com/ - Best Documentation software in my opinion, can also be used for password management
