Kaavo

Kaavo provides application-centric management and security for cloud computing. Put simply, it is about running websites, apps and data on servers you do not have to maintain.

The natural audience is developers and businesses of every size. They also list Cloud Management and IaaS, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Kaavo is based in Stamford, Connecticut and around since 2007. More on kaavo.com.

Our checklist for this category: pricing predictability, support quality, and migration help. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Kaavo, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
