Jessica C. Davis is on-site at Kaseya DattoCon this week, and ChannelE2E will be onsite covering what Kaseya CEO Fred Voccola has described as an announcement that is “bigger than Kaseya 365.”
Kaseya
rolled out its single-price MSP core service bundle K365 at its Kaseya Connect event earlier this year. Depending on who you asked, it either disrupted the industry, had the potential to spur a race to the bottom on pricing, or it was no big deal.
The bundle includes RMM, antivirus, EDR, MDR, patch management, ransomware rollback and endpoint backup.
In July, Voccola told ChannelE2E that Kaseya had signed up 4,000 MSPs to manage five million endpoints with the Kaseya 365 license. During that conversation in July, Voccola said: “The uptake rate has been well beyond our expectations, and I think it’s been so successful.”
