Company Description

Kaseya is a provider of IT management solutions. The company was founded in 2000 and is privately held with a presence in more than 20 countries. Its various solutions are used by more than 10,000 customers worldwide in a wide variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, managed services, legal, government, and retail.

Product Description

The Kaseya VSA Software Management module is a single patching solution for Mac and Windows operating systems, and also deploys hundreds of third party software titles. It uses peer-to-peer technology to distribute patches to reduce the bandwidth required to download and install patches.

Markets and Use Cases

Patching customers encompass all markets as vulnerable endpoints are the number one entry point for data breaches. However, there is a focus on managed service providers (MSPs) and mid-market enterprises.

Applicable Metrics

Kaseya manages more than 10 million endpoints utilizing its management, monitoring and patching solution.

Intelligence

Peer-to-Peer technology means endpoints can securely share patches for rapid deployment without the overhead of huge patch downloads over the internet. This enables secure servers to install patches without having to deploy appliances or local servers to host patches.

Method of Delivery

Both on-premises and cloud options are available.

Agents

Agents are automatically deployed via Kaseya’s VSA (and can leverage MS domains) that monitor, manage and patch endpoints.

Pricing

$0.50/endpoint/month
