We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use it to create and manage our work orders.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have.""Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls.""Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders.""Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department.""We can manually capture the assets available within the location.""As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."

More BMC Track-It! Pros →

"Patch management was very useful. Backdoor access to the clients was also very useful.""The remote support is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""When compared to what we were previously using, one of the most appealing features is that it combines remote control, patch management, and software management into a single portal.""I like the Live Connect module provided by Kaseya. It is a powerful module. I also like the Agent Procedure module. We work with it most of the time.""Provides efficient automation.""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.""We can schedule the patching of the endpoints.""The most valuable feature of Kaseya VSA is the ability to control laptops remotely."

Cons
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult.""The solution is cumbersome to use.""The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module.""There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update.""The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version.""Their self-service is not user friendly."

More BMC Track-It! Cons →

"The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works.""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 reporting feature in Kaseya VSA could improve by being more user-friendly. The reporting overview is too wordy or the representation can be better.""The audit and KNM tools could improve.""I would like to see improved virtual infrastructure management.""The deployment process could be better.""Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems.""The main difference would be the addition of audio transfer between the end-user and the remote connectivity software. That is the one critical piece that we are currently lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
  • More BMC Track-It! 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."
