Find out what your peers are saying about NinjaOne, Kaseya, TeamViewer and others in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM)."The solution was scalable."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"Being able to connect to client computers without them necessarily needing to be there and being able to put in the patches and manage different information systems is valuable."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"The remote support is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"As a small IT shop, the weird feature that the VSA has that I have not found anywhere else is they have these little colored dots that tell you the status of the machine. Is it offline and powered up? Is it actively being used? Is it idle? A lot of our clients ask us to do things for them, but, of course, they don't really want us to be underfoot. So we always look for, "Hey, there's an idle machine. We can work on that one now." And to say it makes it easy, we can do that at a glance. In any other tool we've looked at, you have to go several layers deep to see if the machine is in use, and you could spend your entire day just trying to find a machine that was idle, whereas, with Kaseya VSA, you can tell at a glance."
"VSA installs an agent on every computer that allows users to create a help desk ticket with one click. That's why I chose VSA. Many users never create tickets when they have a problem. Sometimes I won't know about an issue until they run into me and say, "Hey, this has been broken for two months.""
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."
"This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets."
"The flow designer feature of ServiceNow has had the biggest impact on our productivity because it has helped me reduce manual efforts by creating automation and robotics."
"The product's integration functionality in the change management module has significantly improved efficiency in our organization."
"I have been looking for a way to deploy patches via the internet to selected equipment from Kaseya VSA, but it seems impossible."
"Its scripting language kind of sucked. They have their own version of PowerShell inside VSA. if you want to reach out and grab endpoint information, for instance, to know how many end devices have a program installed, you actually have to write a script for that. It wasn't like how it is in CrowdStrike where you can just do a search, and it just happened. In VSA, you have to write your own script to do it. In terms of new features, an integrated MDM for mobile devices would be awesome."
"The way it is laid out can be improved. If it could be a little more intuitive, it might be a little bit easier. Sometimes, it is hard to find features because they're called something weird, or they're in an interesting location that you wouldn't have thought that they'd be in."
"The deployment process could be better."
"It never functioned as intended."
"The stability of the solution is good but it can be improved."
"The predefined reports are not up to the mark and you have to do a lot of customization."
"The response to bugs is slow and software improvement comes slowly too. The lack of response to our feature requests made it feel like they were going into a black hole. Additionally, when we encountered bugs or issues with the VSA, they were slow to respond to those too."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"The high price is a huge barrier in Portugal."
"The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"It should have more artificial intelligence for business and work capabilities. The community is not so active. There must be initiatives to make the community talk more and share more information."
"Their user interface is old-fashioned and outdated, and it can be more friendly for the eye. They can improve the user experience."
"I am interested to see the firm's strategic plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and how the particular areas it will expand on from its existing investments (that feature, for example, in its ITSM Pro and CSM Pro modules)."
