Shavlik Technologies

What Shavlik Technologies does

Shavlik Technologies is a U.S.-based software provider specializing in on-premise and cloud-based patch management and asset management for IT professionals. Its platform enables organizations to discover IT assets, deploy software, manage configurations, and enforce endpoint security across both physical and virtual machines. The product surface is anchored by two core offerings carried under the Ivanti brand: Ivanti Patch for Configuration Manager, which extends third-party patch coverage inside Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (MEM) across Microsoft, Mac OS, virtual infrastructure, and third-party applications; and Patch for Windows Servers, delivered as part of Ivanti Security Controls for Windows Server environments. The company's core technical differentiator is its broad, multi-platform patch content library and its interoperability with Microsoft enterprise management tooling, which makes it an attractive complement for IT teams already standardized on Microsoft ecosystems.

Shavlik was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in New Brighton, Minnesota. Since 2011 the asset has changed hands three times: acquired by VMware in 2011, sold as part of VMware's Protect product family to LANDESK in April 2013, and rolled into Ivanti in January 2017 when private equity firm Clearlake Capital purchased LANDESK. As a result, Shavlik today operates as a product brand within Ivanti rather than as an independent company, and does not have a public listing, separate financials, or independent funding profile.

The business model is built on enterprise software licensing for IT management buyers, with a quote-based, demo-driven enterprise sales motion targeting IT professionals in organizations of all sizes. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales engagement, supported by Ivanti-hosted documentation portals, community forums, and self-service support resources. No public pricing tiers or named customer logos are disclosed, and revenue mechanics are bundled within Ivanti's broader endpoint security portfolio. The horizontal customer segmentation approach emphasizes democratizing enterprise-grade patch and asset management capabilities to organizations beyond large enterprises.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM/MEM): Microsoft's native Configuration Manager (now part of Intune/Microsoft Endpoint Manager) provides built-in patching and configuration that competes with Shavlik as a broad incumbent offering; Shavlik's third-party patching is complementary rather than entirely substitutable.

Emerging players

• Qualys VMDR: Qualys VMDR combines vulnerability management, patch detection, and remediation — overlapping with Shavlik's vulnerability and patch-centric value proposition from a cloud-native, emerging-platform lens.
• Tenable Nessus / Tenable.sc: Tenable specializes in vulnerability detection and prioritization with growing patch remediation capabilities; competes with Shavlik from the vulnerability management side of the same endpoint-security workflow.
