The extensive support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs are a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners’ long-term growth and profitability. 

The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition given to companies that have built their partner programs on the key elements needed to nurture lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships.

For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

Launched in 2020, the ArmorPoint Partner Program was designed to provide MSPs and resellers with a streamlined approach to delivering managed SOC services. By going beyond traditional MSSP offerings, ArmorPoint combines proprietary, cloud-based SIEM software with expert security operations management to deliver a comprehensive managed SOC solution. As a channel-first company, ArmorPoint prioritizes partnerships, equipping MSPs and resellers with the tools, resources, and support they need to expand their security services, increase revenue, and strengthen their clients' cyber resilience.

“This is the second time we’ve had the honor of receiving this award, which we believe is a reflection of how strong our partnership program has become,” says David Trapp, founder and CEO of ArmorPoint. “Our partner programs are not only a core pillar of what we do but a key part of our strategy and success. We look forward to continuing to serve our partners and further building out the program.”

“Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence.”

The 2025 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2025 issue of CRN and published online at www.CRN.com/PPG beginning March 24, 2025.
