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.
Ben Blissett - PeerSpot reviewer
Broken from the beginning and never functioned as anticipated
They had a major issue that resulted at one point (the straw that broke the camel's back for us, although we'd been fighting with support for months by that point in time) in which every Kaseya VSA customer was offline for two weeks. This vulnerability pushed us over the edge. It never functioned as intended. If it functioned as it was supposed to, it would've been fantastic. However, the previous solution we used just performed reliably and so much better. I can't say that there was anything positive about my experience. The intent of the software, other than integrations, is to be able to just make an anytime secure direct connection to an endpoint. However, whenever we would connect, at least half the time, it would not record keystrokes properly, no matter what system we connected from. So if you're trying to enter a password, there'd be 2-3 seconds' latency in the response and then it would just spew out a bunch of letters and numbers you didn't type in. You would just try, try, try again to type in something, and just half the time it worked, half the time it didn't. If you brought up more than three or four endpoints simultaneously, it never worked. It was a major point of contention for us. For us, at least, it just didn't work. It just was broken. Scripting didn't fire, reports didn't come back, and monitoring wasn't there. A server goes down or a router goes offline, no notification. Stuff like that. Bush league.

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."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"The patch management and the remote support are very good, especially the remote support. There is a module built into the solution which allows remote control without necessarily interrupting the user. We could manage things in the background without them seeing or interacting with anything, which is a very useful feature."
"The remote support is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The automation capabilities are incredible!"
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features 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."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"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."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"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 audit and KNM tools could improve."
"The network monitoring module today is not the best one."
"If you compare with other products, Manage Engine has some features that we like but are not present in Kaseya."
"I would like to see improved virtual infrastructure management."
"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."
"It never functioned as intended."
"The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is affordable."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"I find Kaseya VSA's pricing extraordinarily expensive, with very limiting contracts. They discuss being flexible once you're locked in, but I haven't found that true. It is one of the most expensive tools in my arsenal and our highest expense to any company."
"It is, in my opinion, competitive in the market. It is determined by the number of users and licenses needed. Depending on the license count of users, the price ranges from $10 to $80 USD."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"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 use annual licensing, but we also have a special agreement."
