Founder at Strong security brasil

It's very easy to implement and create policies

Implementation for our first customer took about a week. The console is cloud-based, while we install agents on customer desktops and laptops, both on-premises and remote. Maintenance seems quite easy so far. I can set up alerts for anything happening in the tool, so my technical staff don't need to monitor the console constantly.

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 remote tool is nice. If a user needs assistance, I don't have to tell the user to do anything. I just ask the user if I can remote in, and 30 seconds later, I have remoted in. It has been really handy."

"AEM support is great for Macs."

"We support nine different nonprofits, and the billing took the manager three or four days working on spreadsheets. When I finished automating everything with Datto, we cut everything down to a couple of hours. That's a substantial cost savings on the billing side."

"The tool's main valuable features are its ease of use and intuitive console. It's very easy to implement and create policies. I don't need highly technical staff to manage the tool, which is a big advantage."

"Automation, in terms of the standard patches and standard updates, and remote support are valuable. When it does the standard Windows and patches, it works really well. This is something they focus on. Remote support is also something they focus on quite a bit, and it works really well. Being able to get to an agent or a client computer right away is very helpful."

"Even when the connection to the server is lost, the monitoring continues without interruption."

"I also like how Datto integrates seamlessly with the Autotask ticketing system."

"The project management and task management features work well. It's a decent product in that regard."

More Datto Remote Monitoring and Management pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."

"Transferring files and viewing data work well with TeamViewer Remote Management."

"We use the product to communicate."

"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 enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."

"The most recent enhancements are quite remarkable."

"I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable."

"TeamViewer Remote Management is very easy and very good for remote work."

More TeamViewer Remote Management pros

Cons

"Sometimes we have some downtime when Datto is doing updates. Maybe it's because of the cloud service they use. I'm not sure if they're going through AWS or Azure or what. That's happened, but the outages have been few and far between."

"I would like the ability to remotely manage configuration and settings on individual units. Some organizations have a certain device configuration that needs to be consistent across all computers. For example, if we have computers that cannot go to sleep or hibernate because they're being accessed remotely, we need to be able to quickly configure those computers to not hibernate. With Datto, there is no easy and/or direct way to accomplish this. I can't create a group called No Hibernate and drag all those computers to that group so that they do not go into hibernation. There is no easy way to put in a policy or a procedure like that. It's still back to going to each computer and doing it by hand, which is what I'm trying to get away from. I want to automate and simplify as much as possible. I write code and scripts to do most of my work anyways. The intention is to get away from me having to be so hands-on."

"Be prepared to spend a lot of time on conversions if you have a lot of clients."

"The actual setup and the automation of their product are horrific. When you buy it, there is nothing out of the box. You have to custom design it for everything you want it to do. You pay for implementation, but they don't really do a whole lot to help you get it going. I know it does a lot more than what ours is set up to do, which is frustrating. When I've demoed other systems, their setup is so much better. When you pay for their setup, there is so much more, whereas I just feel like we didn't get a very good setup."

"My most significant criticism is Datto is a complex product that takes a while to understand, but that could be said of almost any solution at the same level. It depends on where you're starting from. You have to rework all your workflows, and it's some heavy lifting if you want to get it right."

"The only area where I see room for improvement is the ability to delay the application of patches for a set number of days."

"They have a tab to provide information about the type of hardware the computers have. One thing they don't specify is what model of hard drive the computers have. Identification of storage models would be nice."

"We would like to see a little more functionality when monitoring network devices, such as switches and routers."

More Datto Remote Monitoring and Management cons

"Integration with other tools would be great."

"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."

"There have been some delays in the past due to unstable internet connection."

"The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."

"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."

"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."

"VPN connection is an area with shortcomings that need improvement in the solution."

"The price for the license could be improved, as well as the setup could be easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AEM is a lot more scalable as you just pay per agent instead of having to purchase expensive licenses."

"It goes by how many endpoints you have. It is about $3,000 a month for us. If we can't figure it out ourselves and need additional help to set it up, we would have to pay for that."

"It fluctuates on the number of computers you have. Depending on the number of computers you have, it can fluctuate anywhere between $5 to $10 per computer per month, which is not too bad. I am not aware of any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee. It was one flat rate per device."

"Regarding pricing, Kaseya sells it as part of a bundle called Kaseya 360. This package includes several tools, such as EDR, ransomware protection, and more. Considering the bundle, the price is reasonable. However, where I am in Brazil, the high dollar rate and taxes make it not cheap for mid-sized companies. Still, it's competitively priced compared to similar tools."

"We had to pay out some overtime for a few problematic sites. Sites on domain networks are incredibly easy to install. We learned a few tricks that streamlined the process, but in the beginning, it was a bit tedious."

"The license typically depends on the number of endpoints. On the RMM side, I think we're paying around $2,250 per endpoint. Then there is also a license per user and tech, so that comes out to about a hundred bucks per tech, give or take."

"I have used the free version of the solution."

"The solution's license is expensive."

"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."

"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."

"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."

"It is a licensed product."

"Users need to pay a yearly license for TeamViewer Remote Management."

"We pay for a yearly license."
