Keeping servers updated while encountering documentation issues and time zone delays in support
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. Sometimes I had to uninstall, reinstall, or engage technical support, which took a lot of time. It would be helpful if the documentation could easily help us fix bugs on our own.

Lightweight tool aids in remote management but needs better support
Primarily, we are using it for remote monitoring and management as an MSP. We are basically a reseller; we are a service provider, so Kaseya VSA is one of our tools which we use for our managed services The best features of Kaseya VSA are that it's lightweight over the machine and does not create…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"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."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"Its features are very complete."
"This is an extremely robust product, very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate, and most of our customers just set it and forget it while it does all of the automatic patching month after month."
"We have all the necessary modules for monitoring on the server and workstations."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"The best features of Kaseya VSA are that it's lightweight over the machine and does not create any overhead over the machine resources, which we really appreciate."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"Administration, maintenance, patching, monitoring, and helpdesk are the most valuable features."
"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 solution was scalable."
"Kesaya is highly configurable."
 

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."
"The biggest problem that I have with technical support is that it is not regional and we are dealing with time differences."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"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."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"Sometimes, the product misinterprets the functionality of a machine."
"The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works."
"The initial setup is quite difficult as the allow port, everything is quite difficult, and especially you need to get the SSL to use if you use it for on-premises."
"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."
"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."
"The UI could be streamlined. The menu has 18 options, but we only use three. It has a lot of redundant stuff. Software management, software deployment, patch management, etc., all do the same thing, but they're different programs and licenses."
"The GUI is not user-friendly. You have to search and dig deep into the options to find things."
"I have been looking for a way to deploy patches via the internet to selected equipment from Kaseya VSA, but it seems impossible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is affordable."
"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 pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"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 were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"You're going to pay for this solution, but you're going to get so much more out of it in reporting, asset management, and the ability to manage your clients. I would recommend giving Kaseya serious consideration and I would recommend implementing it."
"Though I don't have complete visibility over the solution's pricing, the solution is not cheap, from what I remember. The solution is on the pricey end."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
