About Desk365
Steady feature cadence with a quiet push upmarket on security and IT asset management.
Desk365 is in active shipping mode: two product-update posts in three weeks (April 25 and May 8) covering MFA, reorganized authentication, inline asset edits, bulk actions, channel controls, AI usage visibility, and Premium-tier custom password policies. Around the releases, content is split between MSP/IT-asset positioning (multiple Asset Panda teardowns) and broader CX topics (multilingual support, multi-channel, escalation).
