What Recast Software does

Recast Software is a Minneapolis-based private software company founded in 2015 that builds tools extending Microsoft endpoint and application management platforms. Its customers are IT professionals, IT leaders, and security teams in organizations running Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM), Microsoft Intune, and virtual desktop environments (Citrix, Omnissa, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365). The company reports serving customers in 125+ countries, with named logos spanning U.S. federal agencies (U.S. Air Force, FEMA, IRS, CFPB), financial institutions (Ally, BMO, Navy Federal Credit Union), healthcare organizations (AMGEN, BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama, St. Jude Children's Hospital), retailers (Barnes & Noble), and educational institutions (Arizona State University, Canterbury Christ Church University). A free Right Click Tools Community Edition reportedly underpins adoption among 100,000+ SysAdmins globally.

The company's core products are Right Click Tools — a unified toolkit that adds right-click actions, automated third-party patching, hardware/software/warranty reporting, and privileged access management to ConfigMgr and Intune — and Application Workspace, an identity-based application delivery platform acquired from Dutch vendor Liquit in September 2023. The Patching Module is described as containing the industry's largest third-party application catalog. Additional modules include Insights (reporting) and Privileged Access (just-in-time admin elevation for Zero Trust). Recast has built integrations with Microsoft Entra ID, WSUS, Microsoft Security Copilot, Microsoft Store, and Microsoft Viva, and the company has made two acquisitions since 2021 (Enhansoft in February 2021; Liquit in September 2023).

Recast operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a freemium Community Edition (free Right Click Tools download), direct enterprise sales for the Enterprise edition, Application Workspace, and add-on modules, plus a global reseller network and a dedicated MSP/Service Provider channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through annual subscriptions across Enterprise licensing, add-on modules (Patching, Insights, Privileged Access), Application Workspace, and specialized MSP licensing. The company is privately held, reports a 100% customer renewal rate, and has not disclosed institutional investors, revenue figures, or funding amounts. Leadership includes CEO William Teevan, CTO Chris Muster, President/CFO Rod O'Connor, and CPO Jake Mosey (appointed January 2026, previously VP at Jamf).

Direct peers

• Tanium: Endpoint management and security platform for large enterprises and government agencies, with convergent capabilities in patching, compliance, and real-time visibility—directly overlapping with Recast's Right Click Tools.
• Ivanti: Unified IT management vendor (UEM, patch management, ITSM) that competes head-on across endpoint, patching, and privileged access—addressing the same SysAdmin and IT-leader buyer.
• HCL BigFix: Patch and configuration management platform with deep ConfigMgr heritage, offering third-party patching and endpoint compliance that directly competes with Right Click Tools Patching and Insights.
• ManageEngine (Zoho): Broad endpoint and IT management suite from Zoho with strong mid-market penetration and published pricing—competing with Recast across ConfigMgr/Intune extensions, patching, and reporting.
• PDQ: Endpoint management and third-party patching vendor aimed at SMB/mid-market IT teams using ConfigMgr/Intune—directly comparable Right Click Tools Patching competitor.
• Adaptiva: Endpoint management focused on Microsoft ConfigMgr/Intune peer/content distribution and patching, addressing the same Microsoft-centric IT operations workflow as Recast.
• Patch My PC: Third-party patching and application packaging specialist for ConfigMgr, Intune, and WSUS—the most direct competitor to Right Click Tools Patching Module.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Intune / Configuration Manager: Microsoft's native platform that Recast extends—deeply intertwined rather than purely competitive, but Microsoft's continued feature expansion (patching, compliance, Copilot) defines the competitive ceiling for Recast.

Emerging players

• Liquidware: Application delivery and user environment management for VDI (Citrix, Omnissa, AVD) environments—an adjacent peer to Recast's Application Workspace (formerly Liquit) platform.
• Nerdio: DaaS platform purpose-built for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365, overlapping with Application Workspace in identity-driven application delivery across Microsoft endpoints.
