In this episode of the All Things MSP Podcast, Justin Esgar and Eric Anthony dive into another round of "Reddit Roulette," pulling the most pressing questions from the r/MSP community. The duo tackles two fundamental yet controversial topics that every Managed Service Provider faces: the reality of ticket volumes and the absolute necessity (or lack thereof) of Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools.

First, the guys break down a common industry anxiety: "Is this number of tickets too high?" They discuss why raw numbers can be deceiving and how to distinguish between healthy productivity and a burning-out help desk. Following that, they dive into the "To RMM or not to RMM" debate, exploring whether modern MSPs can survive using alternative stacks or if the RMM remains the undisputed heart of the operation. Whether you are a solo-preneur or scaling a large team, this episode provides a grounded perspective on the tools and metrics that actually matter.
