Kaseya DattoCon Miami 2024 was a week of bold ideas, big announcements and serious celebrations, all in the heart of Miami Beach. With 3,500+ attendees, it brought together MSP leaders, innovators and experts under one roof to dive into the latest tech, share profitability strategies and have some well-deserved fun. Missed out? Here’s the rundown on why Kaseya DattoCon 2024 rocked and why 2025 is calling your name!
1. Kaseya 365 User & SaaS Alerts: A game-changing duo for MSP security
One of the biggest announcements at Kaseya DattoCon 2024 was the launch of Kaseya 365 User, a comprehensive security subscription that delivers unparalleled user protection. Building on the success of Kaseya 365 Endpoint, which debuted in April, Kaseya 365 User adds layers of essential defenses, including dark web monitoring, anti-phishing protection and user awareness training. But that’s not all — the excitement doubled with the acquisition of SaaS Alerts, an industry-leading SaaS security platform for MSPs, now included in the Kaseya 365 User subscription at no extra cost. This integration empowers MSPs with automated solutions for monitoring and safeguarding client SaaS applications. With real-time threat detection, automated breach remediation and identity validation powered by machine learning, MSPs gain robust tools to tackle cyberthreats across both user accounts and SaaS environments. Together, Kaseya 365 User and SaaS Alerts offer an all-in-one bundle that simplifies identity and security management, helping MSPs protect clients without adding complexity or costs.
2. Cooper Copilot + AI: A new era of efficiency
Kaseya’s focus on AI-driven solutions shone brightly with the introduction of Cooper Copilot features in Autotask PSA and Kaseya BMS. These tools help technicians handle more tickets in less time, transforming complex tasks into streamlined processes. With Smart Ticket Summary, MSPs can quickly understand past actions on a ticket, while the Smart Writing Assistant helps communicate with clients in clear, non-technical language. For more efficiency, the Smart Resolution Summary automatically logs actions, making it easy to reference solutions in future cases. Kaseya is empowering technicians to work smarter, not harder, with AI that saves hours and improves customer satisfaction.
3. The titans of profitability: The MSP ‘gold rush’
Profitability was a major focus at Kaseya DattoCon 2024, where a panel of high-earning MSPs led by industry veteran Gary Pica shared the secrets to staying profitable in today’s fast-paced market. Describing this period as a “gold rush” era for MSPs, Pica led a discussion with MSP panelists like Javier Dugarte, Tim Conkle, Will Nobles and Vincent Fung, who highlighted the strategies that have set them apart. This dynamic panel dove into real strategies for driving profitability and operational efficiency. The core takeaway? In this highly competitive field, profitability means staying nimble, consistently measuring impact and maintaining a well-integrated tech stack. As Gary rallied the crowd, “This is the best time to be an MSP for about 15% of you. But 100% of you have that chance.”
4. Innovations across the board
