Smoothly handles software patching and scheduling, enabling monthly patch distribution across multiple projects
We face some challenges, particularly with non-domain-joined macOS devices. Patching, updating, and syncing with the server can be tricky for them. So, the major challenges are macOS updates, patching, and backups. And for drawbacks, I wish Patch management was cloud-based instead of hosted on our own server. If Ivanti Patch had a cloud-based option instead of requiring an on-premises server and software. Hosting it in the cloud would simplify management, eliminating dependence on VPNs or other connectivity issues. Similar to Microsoft's EMS licensing, offering a cloud-based solution like Azure Active Directory or Endpoint Management Suite (EMS) would be ideal. EMS allows us to manage policies, batching, and software distribution entirely through the cloud, minimizing server downloads. If Ivanti considered a cloud-based approach, it would be hugely beneficial in today's hybrid work environment, where employees use desktops, laptops, and various locations. It's not just about patching office PCs anymore; mobile workers and backups need seamless access as well. Cloud-based patching would be much easier in a hybrid environment. Imagine updates coming directly from the cloud instead of relying on individual VPN connections. It would streamline the entire process.

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

"Because of the internet gateway, we were able to get clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint which we needed to do recently when everyone was working from home."
"It's been doing a lot for us, especially with third-party software patching and scheduling. We create multiple projects for monthly patch distribution and manage it all well."
"When it comes to Ivanti Patch for endpoints, I find peer-to-peer patching valuable. Having a peer-to-peer patching capability is highly beneficial for us."
"Clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint."
"The product is easy to use, easy to implement, and easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"We have all the necessary modules for monitoring on the server and workstations."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"The solution is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"Overall, the support is good and I am happy with it."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have an easier way to patch Linux machines within the product."
"Inability to configure a rule-based management."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"The major challenges are macOS updates, patching, and backups. And for drawbacks, I wish Patch management was cloud-based instead of hosted on our own server."
"I'm currently struggling with one of the issues related to Linux or Ubuntu. Ivanti does not support Ubuntu and it has a limitation of CentOS to a specific version, which is CentOS 7, not 8."
"I have encountered scalability issues."
"Making the helpdesk more user-friendly."
"The majority of end users ask if there are any notifications or advice regarding when they purchased the hardware and software and when it will expire or need to be replaced, and there are none in Kaseya."
"Its scripting language kind of sucked."
"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."
"It never functioned as intended."
"Sometimes patching is unreliable."
"However, we were hacked, and for a few weeks, it was quite bad."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"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."
"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."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
