Project Kabuto by RepairTech

Good to see that you introduced language packs. The language that interests me is Greek and unfortunately you don't support it yet.

If I could help you with that, let me know here or by PM.

Yes, we would love your help. If you email me at ian@repairtechsolutions.com I can send you a google spreadsheet so you can help us translate, it shouldn't take long since there isn't that much to translate. I'd be happy to compensate you with account credit in exchange for your efforts, or we can work something out.

Thanks!

Ian

Am I right that a MAV solution is being added to this. If do any ideas of what and when!

Wanted to update you on this, you can find out about the recent MAV announcement for Kabuto here: http://blog.repairtechsolutions.com/2015/12/05/partnered-emsisoft-kabuto-managed-anti-virus/

Let me know if you have any questions,

This looks good but I'm not a fan of annual cost for software. Much rather purchase and self host like screen connect has an option for. Been burned to many times and all the promises in the world won't change my mindset not to buy in to that again.

Totally agree with layoric. Self hosted is the way forward. You could charge for updates and let the user decide what is best for them. Screenconnect is an excellent example.

If running self-hosted is a requirement, you might look at either Spiceworks (which I believe has a free core plus some paid addons? and a community) or Labtech. Not sure if any of the other big ones have on-premises setups, and I don't hear much about either of these on here.

You have the foundation in place to move towards a full MSP product, do you have plans to go there? Heck as long as its not a buggy product all you would need to add is support for custom script checks and i'll drop GFI Max (logic now) like a bad habit and just add my own service checks etc. As long as you keep the prices down you could easily take a large chunk of the small MSP market with all these companies raising prices.

Edit: isnt emsisoft a bit of an odd choice with how often it requires a reboot? maybe thats just my machine i dunno.

A lot of the features that GFI has will definitely be built. However, we're focused on giving you a solution for your residential and small business clients, so we won't have as broad a feature set as something like Kaseya or Labtech. For example, we will build patch management for both windows and 3rd party apps eventually, as that is useful for residential clients, but we'll probably leave out network discovery and things pertaining to mail servers.

We're also focusing on making things plug-and-play, rather than super configurable, so simplicity will be a differentiator there as well.

Does that answer your question?

So no custom script checks like vbscripts or powershell etc?

Oh sorry forgot to reply to that part. Yes, we will certainly enable you to integrate your own scripts. I don't have a timeline on that yet, but it's already on the backlog.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Also need the feature to accept a particular issue and ignore it. For example this system i'm on right now has multiple video cards but can no longer use one of them now that I upgraded to windows 10. Sure I can probably disable it and maybe that will stop the alert from happening but then if nvidia and microsoft does ever upgrade support to WDDM 2.0 for the gt 610 I won't immediately notice.

Yeah definitely, that's on the dev queue
