What msp success magazine does

MSP Success Magazine is a digital publication and community platform serving Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Founded in 2020 and owned by Kaseya, the brand delivers editorial content, newsletters, podcasts, peer-group coaching, and live events targeted at MSP operators seeking growth playbooks, technical guidance, and benchmarking against peers. Its core products include MSP Success Digital (a unified growth system aggregating content and tools), MSP Success Peer (a paid peer-group coaching program), the MSP Success Podcast, and the Better Your Best Competition. The brand also operates within the Kaseya Community platform, which reports 100,000+ MSP professionals, 150,000+ discussions, 25,000+ answered questions, and a presence across 32 countries, with 50,000+ newsletter subscribers.

The underlying platform is built on the Kaseya Community infrastructure and integrates acquired operational assets from Kaseya's TMT acquisition (TruPeer and TruMethods), giving the publication a vertical-specific coaching and benchmarking layer that pure-play media properties lack. TMT Boot Camp — scaled to 1,500+ attendees and 112 sessions for the 2026 edition — functions as the flagship live-event channel and community anchor.

The business model combines free content and community (newsletters, articles, podcast, community forums) with paid recurring programs (MSP Success Digital, MSP Success Peer) and event monetization. The publication is not independently traded; it operates as a strategic marketing and partner-success asset within Kaseya, and standalone revenue is not publicly disclosed. Named contributors include web content, staff writing, freelance journalism, and a podcast host, with Mike Michalowicz featured as an author contributor.

Emerging players

• Pax8: Pax8 is a cloud distributor building an ecosystem of content, community, and partner enablement for MSPs. While primarily a distributor, its growing educational and community programs overlap with MSP Success's value proposition to MSP owners.

Broad incumbents

• CRN (The Channel Company): CRN is a long-established IT channel media brand owned by The Channel Company, covering resellers, MSPs, and VARs across news, analysis, and awards. It competes for MSP advertising and audience at a broader channel level.
• CompTIA: CompTIA is the largest IT industry trade association, providing certifications, research, and community for IT professionals including MSPs. It is a broader incumbent that competes for audience and thought leadership across the MSP ecosystem.
• The Channel Company: The Channel Company is the parent organization behind CRN and other IT channel media brands, running events and research programs for the IT channel. It is a broader incumbent comparable to MSP Success's media-and-events model.

Others

• Datto (Kaseya): Datto is an MSP-focused software vendor now owned by Kaseya, with its own partner community and content channels. While not a direct media peer, it is structurally connected — its partner ecosystem overlaps with and feeds MSP Success's audience.

Direct peers

• ChannelPro: ChannelPro is an independent B2B media brand covering the IT channel including MSPs, providing editorial content, newsletters, and events. It is the most direct independent competitor to MSP Success for MSP audience attention and advertising dollars.
• ASCII Group: ASCII Group is an MSP-focused community and buying group that delivers peer networking, education, and events. It overlaps directly with MSP Success Peer on peer-group value for MSP owners.
• Robin Robins / Technology Marketing Toolkit (TMT): TMT is the sales-and-marketing training franchise for MSPs (now part of Kaseya/MSP Success) producing the Better Your Best competition and the TIT Sales & Marketing Boot Camp. It is functionally integrated with MSP Success but historically a distinct, comparable community/training brand.
• MSPAlliance: MSPAlliance is an international industry association and certification body for managed service providers, offering community, standards, and education. It competes directly with MSP Success for credibility and engagement in the MSP community.
• IT Nation (ConnectWise): IT Nation is ConnectWise's community, content, and events brand serving MSPs — directly analogous to MSP Success as a vendor-owned content/community hub. The two compete for MSP mindshare within their respective vendor ecosystems.
