Integrations are no longer merely a technical enhancement, but a strategic necessity with a business impact on service quality, margins, and growth. Whether MSPs rely on native platform capabilities or third-party tools, one thing is clear: MSP providers that integrate achieve better results than those that simply add new solutions. At a time when providers manage more than 20 solutions on average, close integration is the best path to efficiency, scalability, and profitability. **Trend 1: Cybersecurity integration takes center stage** For the first time, cybersecurity tool integration has become the fastest-growing category among MSPs, significantly outpacing traditional RMM and PSA tools. This change has been driven by escalating threats, stricter regulations, and growing client expectations. Data for 2025 shows: - Integration of IT security capabilities more than doubled year over year (123%). - Integration of XDR and MDR tools saw record growth, with third-party XDR integrations increasing by an average of 162%. - The number of MSPs using Acronis native XDR capabilities grew by 136%, reflecting a significant shift toward the concept of unified security. **Trend 2: Automation beyond RMM and PSA tools** Automation is no longer limited to scripts in RMM or workflows in PSA. In 2025, MSPs increasingly applied automation across their entire business, including operations, sales, finance, and customer care—not just IT service delivery. Modern MSP providers want: - No-code automation - Workflow coordination across departments - Freedom from manual, repetitive tasks - Automation that connects native and third-party tools. **Trend 3: The consolidation paradox** At first glance, a contradiction emerged in 2025: - Demand for native capabilities within platforms such as Acronis RMM and PSA rose sharply (a 96% and 50% increase in licenses, respectively) - At the same time, integration of third-party tools also continued to grow significantly This is not a conflict, but a strategy. Managed service providers are consolidating core capabilities to reduce complexity while integrating specialized tools where they deliver targeted value. “The trends are clear: security-first integration, automation across the entire business, and strategic platform consolidation will shape the MSP market in 2026 as well,” said **Štěpán Bínek, Cloud Solutions Sales Manager for Acronis at ZEBRA SYSTEMS**. “MSP providers are choosing integrated platforms because they reduce the number of tools used, eliminating screen switching, lowering training and licensing costs, and improving response times and service quality.” The full report can be **[downloaded here](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/security-integration-takes-the-lead-top-msp-integration-trends-of-2025/)**.
