It delivers real-time compliance, multi-OS device management, and IAM integrations with no device minimums.
Easy to Use
Kaseya 365 claims to unify many tools under IT’s belt, but in practice they all are legacy modules (Datto RMM, RocketCyber, Unitrends, etc.) that have their own separate UI interface. Some MSPs report a learning curve with regards to backup, RMM and security products. In comparison, Kitecyber’s users rate our solution very highly for ease-of-use. We’ve been rated 4.8/5 on Capterra,GetApp, Software Advice & 5/5 on G2. The unified console lets teams manage devices, web access and security policies from one place, greatly reducing admin overhead.
Faster Deployment
Kitecyber integrates with multiple IAM solutions like Google workspace, Azure AD, MS Office365, Okta and others. It can import the list of users and make it easy to onboard hundreds of users with a few clicks. The solution gets deployed in minutes with its lightweight endpoint agent that consumes minimal CPU and RAM. The SaaS console for admins is intuitive where every single module can be handled at the same place. Deployment is seamless within hours and doesn’t consume IT’s time. On the other hand, Kaseya’s tools are spread across legacy dashboards and acquired partners platforms. The deployment typically requires a more extended rollout.
Built in Security and Compliance Controls
Kitecyber focuses on protecting devices and users from SaaS and Internet based attacks. There is a built-in secure web gateway functionality which can be enabled with a few clicks in the UI. Kitecyber also monitors and enforces compliance controls on each device based on the frameworks selected by the company. The solution automates policy translation from these frameworks, making it easy for IT admins, without requiring deep compliance expertise, to remain audit-ready and enforce necessary safeguards. There is built-in support for SOC2, HIPAA, ISO27001, GDPR, CMMC, NIST and other compliances. Kaseya supports compliance only from Kaseya Compliance Manager, which is an additional purchase.
Device Visibility & Shadow IT Control
Kitecyber Device Shield delivers real-time device visibility across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android—tracking events, health metrics, and security policies while addressing shadow IT by discovering, classifying, and securing SaaS apps to control sprawl and risk. Kaseya’s VSA RMM offers strong endpoint monitoring with tools like Network Glue, but its shadow IT control relies on separate modules, requiring extra setup and lacking Kitecyber’s direct SaaS discovery focus.
Tool Consolidation (MDM, RMM, VPN, DLP)
Kitecyber Device Shield stands out for tool consolidation by integrating MDM, RMM-like endpoint management, Zero Trust VPN (ZTNA), DLP and Vulnerability & patch management into a single lightweight endpoint agent, eliminating the need for separate appliances, cloud gateways, or multiple vendors, which simplifies operations and reduces integration headaches. Kaseya, through its IT Complete platform and VSA RMM, also promotes consolidation by offering all-in-one endpoint management, MDM for mobile devices, patching, remote control, and security features like EDR and antivirus, with add-ons for backup and network monitoring. However, Kaseya’s tools often involve modular add-ons (e.g., separate UI for RMM, backup, and compliance), potentially leading to fragmented experiences compared to Kitecyber’s fully unified AI agent.
Automation & Policy Enforcement
Kitecyber Device Shield combines AI-powered automation with built-in security and compliance to deliver end-to-end protection for devices, users, and SaaS apps. Its AI security co-pilot enables proactive issue resolution, one-click policy enforcement, and automated compliance reporting that tracks user behavior and mitigates risks in real time. With integrated Secure Web Gateway functionality, Kitecyber protects against SaaS and internet-based attacks while continuously monitoring devices and enforcing compliance frameworks such as SOC2, HIPAA , ISO27001GDPR, CMMC, and NIST, all without requiring deep compliance expertise. By contrast, Kaseya offers strong IT workflow automation through VSA and 365 Ops, with features like auto-remediation, patching, and centralized policy controls, but its compliance capabilities require additional purchases via Kaseya Compliance Manager.
Ransomware & Insider Threat Protection
Kitecyber Device Shield provides advanced ransomware protection through real-time detection, malicious website blocking, and phishing prevention, while addressing insider threats via AI-driven user behavior monitoring and data lineage tracking to stop unauthorized sharing across endpoints, SaaS, and networks. Kaseya offers native ransomware detection in VSA, which monitors for suspicious behavior and quarantines infected endpoints, alongside EDR for continuous monitoring and tools like Graphus for email threats and Dark Web ID for credential surveillance, helping mitigate insider risks through behavioral analysis. Kitecyber’s AI focus on insider behaviors gives it an edge in proactive prevention, while Kaseya’s layered security, including backups, emphasizes recovery and broad threat coverage.
Protect Against Saas and GenAI Risks
Kitecyber does not only discover sanctioned and Shadow SaaS apps but can actively prevent risky uploads to GenAI or unsanctioned applications in real time. The solution blocks unapproved SaaS and GenAI data flows before sensitive information can leak, giving security teams true control over user activity, data movement, and risk exposure, well beyond simple visibility and alerting. Kaseya, by comparison, lacks this level of endpoint and SaaS/GenAI oversight and cannot prevent sensitive data exfiltration through unknown channels before it occurs. Kaseya doesn’t see what data is in-use and where it goes.
Built-in Application Distribution and Risk Mitigation
Kitecyber provides precise management of installed applications and browser extensions across all endpoints. It reports open CVEs (vulnerabilities) for installed apps and flags risky browser plugins. IT teams can remotely remove, quarantine, or update apps to address vulnerabilities or policy violations, all through a lightweight and scalable interface. This level of risk mitigation is integrated into the core platform and scales with organizational growth. While Kaseya includes aspects of application management in its VSA and VulScan solution, these are separate components requiring additional setup and ongoing management.
