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.
Kelsey Braun - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, inventory, and patch management."
"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."
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"As a small IT shop, the weird feature that the VSA has that I have not found anywhere else is they have these little colored dots that tell you the status of the machine. Is it offline and powered up? Is it actively being used? Is it idle? A lot of our clients ask us to do things for them, but, of course, they don't really want us to be underfoot. So we always look for, "Hey, there's an idle machine. We can work on that one now." And to say it makes it easy, we can do that at a glance. In any other tool we've looked at, you have to go several layers deep to see if the machine is in use, and you could spend your entire day just trying to find a machine that was idle, whereas, with Kaseya VSA, you can tell at a glance."
"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 training that we received was quite good."
"The most valuable feature of Kaseya VSA is the ability to control laptops remotely."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The alerts are helpful."
"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."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
 

Cons

"Some configurations and abilities from the system are not of use. The solution should offer webinars or some sort of training offerings to help users learn what the system can do and how it can be done."
"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."
"I have been looking for a way to deploy patches via the internet to selected equipment from Kaseya VSA, but it seems impossible."
"The user interface is somewhat outdated."
"The audit and KNM tools could improve."
"Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems."
"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."
"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"The support could improve their speed."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 use annual licensing, but we also have a special agreement."
"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."
"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."
"With the on-prem, you buy the agent license. That's a one-time fee, and it varies depending on how many you have. You also pay annual maintenance on the number that you have. So, there are two fees involved: a one-time fee and a recurring fee."
"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."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"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 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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
