Living in the SMB MSP world, cost prohibits logs and edwin thus far, but Dashboarding has allowed me to create "products" that our teams can leverage to perform their duties across many customer environments without leaving the single page... Cross-Tool properties have allowed me to use that starting point to link out to our RMM, Ticketing, and ITSM tools.
I know it's basics, but going back to the basics every once in a while can help refocus efforts.

- Most important data should never live below the fold. That's for details. Scrolling is the enemy of MTTR / Quick answers for clients on the phone while you're looking
