Workstation Monitoring Solution for Small Business Consultant!

I want to provide MSP services to small businesses with 100 and less workstations.  I have looked at SolarWinds' N-Central and MaxFocus RemoteManagement, and they are both GFI products.  They seem promising, but once you add windows patching, backup, anti-virus protection, and third party patching the cost escalates a bit per endpoint.  ManageEngine looks good, but the price is rather high.  I am looking for a reasonable priced cloud solution that I can offer to my clients.   I simply want to streamline windows and third patching, check the health of any endpoint, provide anti-virus/anti-malware, and even considering backup up some endpoints.  Using a local server to manage and maintain everything is not an option, so that is why a web console where all clients can be viewed and managed is preferred.

I just double checked and it appears both MaxFocus and LogicNow are the same company.  Therefore the same offering.

Thank you gentlemen!
Good day,
                   I tried Max focus and was turned off from the interface, LabTech is very good but is expensive and the learning curve can be high. I personally like Atera and Comodo One, Atera is simple to use and provides RMM, Patch Management ( Which I am having little issues with but can work around it ), PSA, Customer relation features and recently partnered with Webroot to provide security to endpoints. You also have the option to monitor devices via TCP, HTTP, SNMP and generic devices. Comodo One is full of features and components, the learning curve can be high but offers a lot of flexibility. Just like Atera, it serves like an all in one package. It even has mobile management bundled with all the features you would want to manage devices. Comodo one uses their own anti-virus product and firewall to protect endpoints and you can then add more advance features if you like. The advantage of Comodo security features compared to others I've tested is  that the integration for reports of threats and management of security on endpoints is the best I've seen since the system was built that way from day one. All this for free, but you can purchase more advanced features if needed.
