Episode notes

Kaseya recently made headlines with the introduction of a new subscription-based offering called Kaseya 365. This comprehensive package is tailored for managed services providers and comes at a competitive price, starting at $3.99 per endpoint per month. The Kaseya 365 subscription encompasses a variety of essential features such as RMM, antivirus, EDR, MDR, patch management, ransomware rollback, and endpoint backup, all consolidated into a single license. This pricing strategy by Kaseya marks a significant reduction that could potentially create competitive pressure for other vendors in the market.

The launch of Kaseya 365 also introduced the Partner First pledge, designed to address partner concerns by offering more flexibility and affordability. This pledge includes initiatives like providing products in one-year and three-year agreements, enabling partners to switch between backup solutions through the FlexSpend program, offering catastrophic client loss protection, and implementing a Price Lock Guarantee to safeguard against price increases.

The provision of child care benefits can significantly impact employee retention rates, productivity, and work absences. A study by the non-profit Moms First, mentioned in a podcast episode, revealed that companies offering child care benefits experience higher employee retention rates and increased productivity. Working parents often struggle with child care costs and access, leading to decreased productivity. By providing child care benefits, companies can see a return on investment through higher retention rates, improved employee satisfaction, and reduced work absences.

The cost of recruiting and training new employees is typically higher than retaining existing ones. By offering child care benefits, companies can cover the cost of these benefits by retaining just 1% of eligible working parents. Additionally, child care benefits have been shown to enhance recruitment and retention as much as paid time off and health insurance benefits. Employees receiving child care support are more likely to stay with their company, experience increased productivity, and report higher job satisfaction.
