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.
Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"Patch management was very useful. Backdoor access to the clients was also very useful."
"The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive."
"The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"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 product's support team is very quick to respond, especially because the tool's technical team operates in the same time zone where I am located."
"Provides efficient automation."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management was very simple."
"I use the product for remote access. We are IT service providers. In case anybody has problems with their computer, we use the solution to check them."
"There are some great features."
"We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client."
"What I like about TeamViewer Remote Management is the chat feature on the dashboard, which is very useful. The solution also has a meeting feature, but I don't use that. The remote feature and other features of TeamViewer Remote Management also work fine, so it's a good solution."
"The remote access is most valuable."
"It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC."
 

Cons

"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 response to bugs is slow and software improvement comes slowly too. The lack of response to our feature requests made it feel like they were going into a black hole. Additionally, when we encountered bugs or issues with the VSA, they were slow to respond to those too."
"The predefined reports are not up to the mark and you have to do a lot of customization."
"The main difference would be the addition of audio transfer between the end-user and the remote connectivity software. That is the one critical piece that we are currently lacking."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"There should be more Mac support. Whenever a new Mac operating system comes out, the support is very limited. It takes them a while to get things up to date. We're seeing more and more people move to Mac from the Windows environment for various reasons, but their support for Mac is very limited. A lot of it might have to do with Mac itself, but there are ways to improve upon that. That would be my biggest thing for improvement."
"The audit and KNM tools could improve."
"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."
"AnyDesk is easier compared to TeamViewer Remote Management since there is no password. We use AnyDesk more."
"It could be more secure."
"If you have one version, like if you have version 14, and the client has version 15, you can't access his computer. If the client is on 14 and the technician is on 15, he can't access the end user who's at home. So there's a disparity in versioning."
"The connectivity could improve."
"When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy."
"There have been some delays in the past due to unstable internet connection."
"VPN connection is an area with shortcomings that need improvement in the solution."
"The solution is a little expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Without the managed antivirus, it was about $2,000 a month for the team. It's quite reasonable in that sense. The industry standard is anywhere from $0.90 to $1.10 per endpoint for antivirus, depending on how many you have, so it was fairly priced."
"I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"I find Kaseya VSA's pricing extraordinarily expensive, with very limiting contracts. They discuss being flexible once you're locked in, but I haven't found that true. It is one of the most expensive tools in my arsenal and our highest expense to any company."
"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."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"It is, in my opinion, competitive in the market. It is determined by the number of users and licenses needed. Depending on the license count of users, the price ranges from $10 to $80 USD."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
