ConnectWise Wins Partner Praise
ConnectWise recently unveiled two security acquisitions—Perch Security and StratoZen—as well as the creation of ConnectWise Fusion, a single platform for all of its products.
The acquisitions of Perch Security and StratoZen will be rolled up into one product that uses StratoZen to deliver actionable insight using Perch’s toolset.
Partners were thrilled that the company is doubling down on security, as global threat actors have at times exploited the popular MSP platform to launch attacks on solution providers and their customers.
Many also lavished praise on Perch Security, which ConnectWise invested in two years ago but outright purchased ahead of this year’s IT Nation conference in November.
“The Perch and StratoZen acquisitions show that ConnectWise is genuinely serious about improving both their security offerings and their overall security posture,” Gavin Stone, chief technology officer at Impact Computing and Consulting, who also runs the blog MSPGeek, told CRN. “They have a lot of work to do to ensure that the elements that make those companies unique are not lost while being part of a larger corporate structure.”
CRN spoke with seven ConnectWise partners about the acquisitions and what they hope to see moving forward.
