Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features

Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Current setup enables smooth problem-solving but lacks comprehensive guidance and local support

More information about setup procedures and a more user-friendly front end would be beneficial. We need more information for setup processes. It is difficult to do the work independently, requiring us to hire external companies for maintenance hours to fix small issues that could be resolved faster in-house if we had better information. We have been looking for an upgrade version, but finding local service has been difficult. It has been challenging trying to get things done. Speaking with the Microsoft office, we found there are no local companies with substantial experience with SCSM. What we have now was installed five or six years ago. It has been difficult to change configurations and look for upgrades, even with all the manuals. Our office is considering moving away from SCSM and getting a service desk solution outside of Microsoft. For me, it has been a good tool to get help and solve internal problems in the office. It is a very good tool, but the difficulty in getting local service or more information is pushing us to look for another tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."

"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very easy to use."

"The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria."

"SCCM provides remote tool functionality, which is not in Intune."

"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."

"It is quite scalable."

"SCSM helps us keep organized by tracking all user demands and change requests. However, the reporting is not sufficient to provide a clear view of ongoing projects. It helps with daily operations and change request management."

"The reporting is very good."

"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure."

Cons

"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."

"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."

"It's not too hard to compile stuff but it is hard to manage the solution. Even the design itself makes it difficult for management."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"Better integration with other services in Azure is needed because everything is moving from on-premises to the cloud, and as an integrator, we have to help our clients with the migration."

"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."

"It crashes our client's computers. Sometimes they get blue screens. It would be useful if SCSM could check the upgrades or patches before we implemented them to see if they are going to crash a client's system. Or, if it does install, and the client's system crashes, it would be good if the solution could revert back somehow."

"One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have."

"The major issues with SCSM include its severe slowness, especially on the client side, and the lack of comprehensive reporting tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The platform is competitively priced."

"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The license for SCSM is cheap."

"Licensing can be complex and confusing."

"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."

"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."

"The pricing is reasonable."
