Kaseya Expands IT Complete Platform with Acquisition of IT Glue

… typically less $1,000 per month, he adds.

Despite all the changes in the industry, the one thing that has not changed is the economics of IT management.

“It will never make sense for a 14-person company to hire two full-time IT people at a cost of $250,000 a year to manage the IT of the other 12 people at the company. That math will never change,” says Voccola.

This is the reason why so many people are eager to start, buy and develop for MSPs.

“We believe we have a massive competitive advantage. We can offer all of the functionality that an MSP wants at a fraction of the cost to those who went out and bought certain functionality from two, three, four or five different vendors. No one has the security lineup that we have, the compliance lineup that we have, the BDR, the endpoint management, the network monitoring, documentation, PSA — you name it. Cloud/web management, public cloud, price management — all that,” says Voccola.

He commits that Kaseya will stay 18 months ahead of its competitors with additional acquisitions and internal development. And, he adds, Kaseya will stay open and integrate with anyone because, as he puts it, going with a rival product in certain instances simply makes good business sense.

Whether he can pull off such bold claims remains to be seen. But it does suggest 2019 will be a very interesting year.
