Allows us to set maintenance windows and deliver patches
We can set a maintenance window and push the patch. I prefer writing scripts, doing software deployment, pushing it, and distributing applications in servers for the corner of the whole location. We download patches from Ivanti, and it collaborates with more than 700 products. For third-party applications, we download the patches, set a role in our environment, and push it using the maintenance window time and activation date. For software deployment, we receive the service request to install and prepare scripts and then push it in many locations according and relevant to the service request for each location. The group or collection devices are affected by the policy.

Has indicators that tell us if a machine is idle, in use, powered off, etc.
The unique thing I like most about Kaseya VSA is the quick indicators that tell us if a machine is idle, in use, powered off, etc. This allows us to handle client tasks when their machine is idle. We're currently migrating from Kaseya VSA nine to ten. Nine's automation capabilities don't exist, which is the main reason we're upgrading to ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"The technical support from Ivanti is good."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Kaseya VSA is the ability to control laptops remotely."
"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."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"We have all the necessary modules for monitoring on the server and workstations."
"The training that we received was quite good."
"The product's support team is very quick to respond, especially because the tool's technical team operates in the same time zone where I am located."
 

Cons

"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"Some configurations and abilities from the system are not of use. The solution should offer webinars or some sort of training offerings to help users learn what the system can do and how it can be done."
"I have encountered scalability issues."
"The deployment process could be better."
"The user interface is somewhat outdated."
"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 product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in the integrated mobile device management, MDM."
"There should be more Mac support. Whenever a new Mac operating system comes out, the support is very limited. It takes them a while to get things up to date. We're seeing more and more people move to Mac from the Windows environment for various reasons, but their support for Mac is very limited. A lot of it might have to do with Mac itself, but there are ways to improve upon that. That would be my biggest thing for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"The solution is affordable."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"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."
"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"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."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"The solution is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"We use annual licensing, but we also have a special agreement."
"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."
