Before you begin

Comparing Microsoft’s partner portal with hosted or self-hosted alternatives? Review Microsoft 365 Lighthouse vs CIPP vs MSPControl for eligibility, supported workflows and platform operating responsibilities.

For a comparison of CIPP hosted/self-hosted deployment with MSPControl infrastructure ownership, see MSPControl vs CIPP. Check the exact prerequisites and operating responsibilities before choosing.

For the wider selection decision, the Microsoft 365 management tools buyer guide includes SaaS and self-hosted operating responsibilities, cost inputs and an exit checklist.

Review the Prerequisites before starting either deployment method. The Azure Marketplace option still deploys MSPControl into infrastructure owned and billed through your Azure subscription; it is not a managed-cloud service operated by MSPControl.

After the platform is deployed, continue with First Setup to configure the initial installation.
