Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive

Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Cons

"Kaseya Traverse can improve by adding a Service Map to help us create a configuration management database (CMDB), this would be helpful for us."

"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."

"Reporting is a bit difficult."

"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."

"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."

"We've noticed a few bugs as of late. However, this seems to only be in the reporting part of the product."

"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."

"However, the issue lies in the adequacy of the responses to my questions, which are usually not up to par."

More Kaseya Traverse cons

"Integration with different tools, such as ServiceNow and Excel, can be improved."

"The solution lacks in performance monitoring."

"There is no mobile version of this product, and our team should be able to access it using a mobile device."

"The solution should have AI-powered issue-resolving capabilities"

"The way they are presenting the map of our devices needs to be improved."

"The security needs improvement, which is why we are moving away from Solar Winds. We have security concerns."

"Although I haven't explored all of the features available, I wouldn't mind if the software were made to be a bit more customizable."

"The solution lacks in performance monitoring."
