To further support MSPs and SMBs facing these issues, Kaseya’s product innovations focused on advancements to its unparalleled security and compliance suites.

This update allows users to view real-time information on Linux devices from a single dashboard, increasing efficiency and allowing for more streamlined management of all devices in the IT environment.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery – The newest addition to Unitrends’ Recovery Series appliances, Gen 9 MAX delivers supercharged computing power for on-site recovery and application hosting. Gen 9 MAX appliances are available through a subscription-based model that allows organizations to protect their data with minimal up-front costs.

- MyGlue Help Center Update – Users can share documents in the MyGlue Help Center with select MyGlue accounts, allowing MSPs to provide common process documents to their clients.
- Archive Flexible Assets – The latest archive feature allows users in IT Glue and MyGlue to section off documentation that is no longer needed but should not be deleted within configurations, passwords, documents and flexible assets.
- Password Access Workflow – This feature in IT Glue and GlueConnect provides users with instant notifications each time a sensitive password is accessed or copied.
