Speedy Splashtop: We've given Splashtop a jolt. Try it and experience MAJOR speed improvements, faster initial connections, more stability, and bug fixes. 

App-Based 2FA For All: We've released two-factor authentication (2FA), with authenticator app, on ALL licenses (regardless of subscription plan). For the highest security, we recommend enabling it for all platform users. Learn about enabling 2FA

Secure Sharing: We’ve amped up security on shared attachment links. Shared 'attachment' links from the Tickets, Devices, Customers, Knowledge Base, and Chat pages, now expire 15 minutes after sharing.

Mac and Windows Updates: Mac patch updates are now aligned under the category ‘recommended’, throughout the platform. Additionally, we've reorganized, and aligned, Windows patch categories across the platform as well.

Scheduled Reports: We’ve simplified scheduled reports for your customers. Now when clicking the link in the email, it simply opens the report (instead of requiring Customer Portal login). Additionally, the report time period now appears, and they can also export (download) the report. 

QuickBooks Desktop: We've tweaked our integration, and now allow for non-taxable line items (tax fields can be left blank or set at zero).
