Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness.""The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation.""Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing.""It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything.""It's straightforward to set up.""The solution is easy to use.""The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install.""It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."

More Avast Business Hub Pros →

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users.""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."""The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution.""The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive.""I like the remote control, audit, inventory, patch management, software management, and monitoring features.""The most valuable part of this solution is the security features that it offers.""Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting.""The way Kaseya VSA treats application vulnerabilities is good. They have released some new features that have been a benefit, such as updates from the Microsoft repository directory."

Cons
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed.""The solution could improve by providing more security.""It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market.""Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates.""The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems.""Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement.""It could download faster during deployment.""Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."

More Avast Business Hub Cons →

"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.""Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems.""The deployment process could be better.""The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved.""The reporting feature in Kaseya VSA could improve by being more user-friendly. The reporting overview is too wordy or the representation can be better.""Our main concern is related to security. Kaseya had a ransomware attack a few months ago, and it was a big concern for us because Kaseya was the main RMM tool that we were using. We faced a lot of difficulties accessing our users and systems. So, security is our main concern.""The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
  • "I am using the free version."
  • "We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
  • "If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
  • "I am using the free version of Avast."
  • "There are no costs other than licensing."
  • More Avast Business Hub Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
  • "I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
  • "The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
  • "It depends on what products you want. Kaseya loves packages, and if you are packaging, it is more affordable. If you're not packaging, it tends to be a little bit more expensive than others."
  • "It is not expensive. Anyone can afford it. Most of the time, we get a discount for licenses. We had about 5,000 agents, and we received a discount on the price. There is only the licensing cost. If you use the on-prem version, you also have the infrastructure cost."
  • "With the on-prem, you buy the agent license. That's a one-time fee, and it varies depending on how many you have. You also pay annual maintenance on the number that you have. So, there are two fees involved: a one-time fee and a recurring fee."
  • "We pay a monthly fee, but it's a three-year contract divided by 36. They don't offer a true SaaS plan where you can add licenses monthly as you go. The cost is $7 per person per month, and we are paying about $1,700 a month."
  • "We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Kaseya VSA is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s easy to use, has a good Live Connect feature, and its unified portal.

    A Team Lead at a tech services company explains what he finds most valuable about the solution: “The ease of access and ease of use was great. When Kaseya is deployed on the customer's computer, we have access to the customer. We just need the computer's name or ID, or sometimes, if the user has the same name as their first name, we can find them that way.”

    "The most valuable piece of the puzzle for me is what they call Live Connect. It is the piece that allows you to support an end-user without having to take the keyboard and mouse,” says another Automation Team Lead at a tech services company. 

    PeerSpot reviewer Allan E., Director Of IT / Purchasing Manager at Macomb/St. Clair Workforce Development Board expresses, “One of the most appealing features is that it combines remote control, patch management, and software management into a single portal."
