I asked SaaS Alerts a year ago if they had been acquired by Kaseya and was told in no uncertain that this had NOT happened.

IIRC, they were then listed on the portfolio page of the company that owns Kaseya (Insight Capital Partners) and had made a legal filing that suggested, but didn’t prove, that Kaseya had purchased them. They were also requiring 3 year contracts for the first time.

Now, maybe are splitting hairs over whether being owned by Insight Capital is the same as being a Kaseya company. Or maybe it wasn’t a controlling stake, or something else. I do know that this was not a fully honest response.

Update 2024-10-31: I asked SaaS Alerts for comment on the difference between being owned by Insight Capital vs Kaseya. Chip Buck responded that they always “knew it was a possibility” that Insight Partners would fold them into Kaseya, but that they hadn’t at the time of the initial investment.
