Rich Freeman on Channelholic has several related items in his newsletter.

  • GoTo announced an endpoint security solution powered by BitDefender, adding to its RMM and PSA solutions portfolio.
  • Axcient and ConnectWise partnered to offer integration into ConnectWise RMM.
  • And, NinjaOne has added a new dashboard, enhanced support for Linux and Mac endpoints, and new scheduling options to its patch management system.

Why do we care?

The Axcient and ConnectWise move is interesting as, in interviews; executives acknowledged this is due to Kaseya’s purchase of Datto.  

The other notable trend is the acceleration of EDR solutions, offered as first-party or integrated.    EDR appears to be table stakes; every major vendor has checked the check box.  

Is GoTo a significant player?  I’m not sure – but I will note that I’ve seen a considerable uptick in the number of vendors in this space.
