Ben Blissett - PeerSpot reviewer
Broken from the beginning and never functioned as anticipated
They had a major issue that resulted at one point (the straw that broke the camel's back for us, although we'd been fighting with support for months by that point in time) in which every Kaseya VSA customer was offline for two weeks. This vulnerability pushed us over the edge. It never functioned as intended. If it functioned as it was supposed to, it would've been fantastic. However, the previous solution we used just performed reliably and so much better. I can't say that there was anything positive about my experience. The intent of the software, other than integrations, is to be able to just make an anytime secure direct connection to an endpoint. However, whenever we would connect, at least half the time, it would not record keystrokes properly, no matter what system we connected from. So if you're trying to enter a password, there'd be 2-3 seconds' latency in the response and then it would just spew out a bunch of letters and numbers you didn't type in. You would just try, try, try again to type in something, and just half the time it worked, half the time it didn't. If you brought up more than three or four endpoints simultaneously, it never worked. It was a major point of contention for us. For us, at least, it just didn't work. It just was broken. Scripting didn't fire, reports didn't come back, and monitoring wasn't there. A server goes down or a router goes offline, no notification. Stuff like that. Bush league.

Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, inventory, and patch management."
"The most valuable piece of the puzzle for me is what they call Live Connect. It is the piece that allows you to support an end-user without having to take the keyboard and mouse."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Kaseya VSA is the ability to control laptops remotely."
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"The patch management and the remote support are very good, especially the remote support. There is a module built into the solution which allows remote control without necessarily interrupting the user. We could manage things in the background without them seeing or interacting with anything, which is a very useful feature."
"I like the remote control, audit, inventory, patch management, software management, and monitoring features."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."
"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the integrated mobile device management, MDM."
"The predefined reports are not up to the mark and you have to do a lot of customization."
"It's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"The deployment process could be better."
"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"The way it is laid out can be improved. If it could be a little more intuitive, it might be a little bit easier. Sometimes, it is hard to find features because they're called something weird, or they're in an interesting location that you wouldn't have thought that they'd be in."
"The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We use annual licensing, but we also have a special agreement."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"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."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
