Thobile Moeketsi - PeerSpot reviewer
Having everything in one location has significantly improved our efficiency and reporting
We need to be on VPN in order to set up and access the solution, and that has created some challenges. Even though it uses our Windows login, we still have to be on VPN. The product should be able to log tickets directly from system to system. We haven't got there yet and I'm not sure it's possible but it would determine the product's capability to integrate with other systems.
Rajendra Karad - PeerSpot reviewer
Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features
Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboard is very useful to get a quick overview of current tasks."
"All our activities are carried out in the one place."
"Clear processes with transparent responsibilities led to more efficiencies within the teams."
"The most valuable features are problem management and change management."
"Its integration features, orchestration features, and discovery tools are the most valuable. It is also pretty stable, and it can be as scalable as you want."
"The dashboard and the reporting functionality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."
 

Cons

"Access is only available if we're on VPN."
"The stability, specifically in the on-premises deployment model, could be improved."
"Areas for improvement would be the service catalog and customer catalog, which is not very user-friendly. The shopping cart experience is also terrible - you submit and go straight to the cart, you can't continue shopping or see your overall cost."
"Application service mapping, GRC, SecOps, and things like that need improvement."
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For an ITIL user, the cost is probably about 50 bucks a month."
