Straightforward to set up and good support but needs to be on the cloud
I've used the solution for patch management and some fixing after other scanning and testing. We try to do the fixing from a single console under a single patch to improve efficiency It can provide good snapshots.  With other products, I have to write my own scripts. With this solution, I do not…

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

"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"What has been most valuable is the ability to manage, restore and install upgrades and applications. We scan PCs and server and receive results."
"The most valuable feature of Kaseya VSA is the ability to control laptops remotely."
"Being able to connect to client computers without them necessarily needing to be there and being able to put in the patches and manage different information systems is valuable."
"The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive."
"The remote support is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"I like the Live Connect module provided by Kaseya. It is a powerful module. I also like the Agent Procedure module. We work with it most of the time."
"The way Kaseya VSA treats application vulnerabilities is good. They have released some new features that have been a benefit, such as updates from the Microsoft repository directory."
"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."
 

Cons

"It should be more scalable."
"For the Windows upgrade, the errors we experience are not clear. We see a time out error but do not know the reason. We would like to know the root cause."
"We actually upgraded the solution due to the fact that we needed the support for Apple devices. We haven't had a chance to test that part of the product just yet, however, that was our biggest criticism of the product prior to this most recent update."
"The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"It never functioned as intended."
"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."
"The user interface is somewhat outdated."
"The reporting feature in Kaseya VSA could improve by being more user-friendly. The reporting overview is too wordy or the representation can be better."
"The audit and KNM tools could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"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."
"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."
