NetSys vs. DAG Tech
DAG Tech ranks first for managed IT searches in Brooklyn, and it publishes its plan structure on a public page, down to the features in each tier. NetSys works from Brooklyn itself. This page puts the two published positions side by side so you can see where they part company.
The short answer
Pick DAG Tech if you want to compare plan tiers on a public page before you speak to anyone, or if your staff sit in several cities and you want a provider with a local office in each. Pick NetSys if you want one agreement that already carries cybersecurity, privileged access management, disaster recovery planning and AI work, month to month, from a team based in the borough.
What DAG Tech is
DAG Tech runs from 185 Madison Avenue in Manhattan and publishes street addresses and local phone numbers for eleven offices across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, with four more listed as coming soon. Their company profile dates the firm to 1999 in Washington DC. The flat rate page is the unusual part. It sets out three contract term options with stated discounts. There is also a feature table naming the vendor product behind each line item, next to a two column list of what sits inside the monthly rate and what does not.

Published tiers against a quoted agreement
DAG Tech sells in tiers. Their page marks which features belong to which plan and states that on site response is included on the two upper plans, while the base plan bills field work hourly with a four hour minimum dispatch. You can scope them yourself on a Sunday afternoon. NetSys quotes one agreement per business after a call, with AI services, cybersecurity, managed IT and help desk, privileged access controls and disaster recovery planning inside the same document. Two different buying experiences, and the tiered one is faster to evaluate.
Eleven offices or one
Their locations page publishes eleven office addresses, from Los Angeles and Chicago to Toronto and London, which matters if your headcount is spread over several time zones and you want a local number in each of them. NetSys keeps one office, in Brooklyn, with on site coverage across New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Florida, and remote delivery anywhere in the United States. If your people are all within a subway ride, the deciding factor is who reaches the office, not how many cities are on the map.
Privileged access, and who holds the keys
We searched their site for privileged access management, privileged identity management or managed credential handling and could not find it published. Absence from a website is not absence from a service, so put the question to them directly. The answer decides who holds domain administrator rights at your company, and how that right is granted and taken back. NetSys puts PAM and PIM inside the base agreement, so standing administrative rights come off, elevation is requested and time limited, and the record of who elevated when outlives the person who left.

Four more things worth knowing about DAG Tech
Size and history
- Their company profile publishes a 1999 founding in Washington DC, a dated market-expansion timeline including New York City in 2004 and a 2014 move to 185 Madison Avenue, and three scale figures. (dagtech.com)
NetSys: Independent since 1998. One office, in Brooklyn, and no private equity owner behind the name.
Industries they name
- Their industries page names eleven segments they serve. (dagtech.com)
NetSys: Twenty six industries with a page each, from healthcare and legal to hedge funds, auto dealers and government contractors.
Compliance work published
- Their compliance page names specific frameworks in a summary sentence and publishes a supported-standards list covering roughly 16 named regulations and standards. (dagtech.com)
NetSys: Nine frameworks with a service page each: HIPAA, CMMC 2.0, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, NY SHIELD, FTC Safeguards, PCI DSS and GLBA.
Rates on the website
- They publish per-user monthly prices for three named plans on a public page, alongside an interactive calculator where a visitor sets team size and contract term and sees the resulting monthly total. (dagtech.com)
NetSys: We do not publish rates. We quote per business rather than per seat, after a call, because a thirty person firm with two servers and a thirty person firm with a regulator are not the same job.
What we looked for on their site and could not find
privileged access, privileged identity management or managed credentials.
That means we did not find it published, not that it does not exist. Ask them directly, and ask us the same questions. If DAG Tech publishes any of this and we missed it, write to info@netsysgroup.com and we will add it.
The honest fit: is NetSys the right DAG Tech alternative?
When DAG Tech is the better choice
Hire DAG Tech if your company has people in more than one city and you want a single provider with an office address and a local phone line in each, or if you want to read plan features, contract term options and monthly rates on a public page before you ever book a call. Their four question plan tool asks for no email address, so you can use it before you identify yourself.
When NetSys is the better choice
Hire NetSys if the work is concentrated in the New York metro and you want the engineers who run your network reachable in the same borough as your office. The agreement runs month to month with no exit penalty, carries 24/7 monitoring and disaster recovery planning as standard, and opens with a free Tier 1 external penetration test whose findings are yours whether or not you hire us.
NetSys and DAG Tech: FAQs
Is DAG Tech the same as a national franchise MSP?
No. Their company profile describes the growth as one hundred percent organic rather than franchised, and the locations page publishes a street address and a local phone number for each office. The distinction matters when you buy. A franchise puts you with an independent local owner under a shared brand, while a single company puts every office on the same systems and the same escalation path. NetSys sits at the far end of that same spectrum: one office in Brooklyn, independent since 1998, with no private equity owner behind the name.
What is the best DAG Tech alternative for a Brooklyn office?
That depends on which half of their offer you were buying. If it was the published plan structure, most alternatives will ask you to book a call before they show you anything, so budget the time. If it was the engineering, NetSys is a fair comparison for a company whose people and servers sit in the New York metro: one senior team, cybersecurity and privileged access work inside the base agreement, disaster recovery planning that gets tested, and quoting done per business rather than per seat.
Can we switch managed IT providers without a long notice period?
Yes, if the terms allow it, and the terms are the first thing to read. DAG Tech publishes three contract term options with stated discounts and a thirty day notice requirement for downgrades, so the length you are bound to is decided at signing rather than discovered later. NetSys runs month to month, which makes notice a formality. Read the downgrade clause as carefully as the exit clause, because a plan change and a departure are not always governed by the same notice period. That is what makes the following month easy or hard.
Do both firms handle compliance frameworks like HIPAA?
Both publish compliance work, at different widths. DAG Tech's compliance page names frameworks in a summary and publishes a supported standards list covering roughly sixteen named regulations and standards. NetSys publishes nine frameworks with a full service page each: HIPAA, CMMC 2.0, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, NY SHIELD, FTC Safeguards, PCI DSS and GLBA, plus twenty six industry pages. Width only counts where it overlaps your own obligations, so start from the regulation that examines you and work backwards from there.
