Allows us to set maintenance windows and deliver patches
We can set a maintenance window and push the patch. I prefer writing scripts, doing software deployment, pushing it, and distributing applications in servers for the corner of the whole location. We download patches from Ivanti, and it collaborates with more than 700 products. For third-party applications, we download the patches, set a role in our environment, and push it using the maintenance window time and activation date. For software deployment, we receive the service request to install and prepare scripts and then push it in many locations according and relevant to the service request for each location. The group or collection devices are affected by the policy.
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.

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 are device management and support for upgrading applications."
"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."
"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."
"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."
"It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate."
"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."
"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually."
"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"VSA installs an agent on every computer that allows users to create a help desk ticket with one click. That's why I chose VSA. Many users never create tickets when they have a problem. Sometimes I won't know about an issue until they run into me and say, "Hey, this has been broken for two months.""
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"I like the Live Connect module provided by Kaseya. It is a powerful module. I also like the Agent Procedure module. We work with it most of the time."
"Provides efficient automation."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
 

Cons

"Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti."
"I would like to have better support for the application."
"It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location."
"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."
"I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high."
"The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable."
"Ivanti Patch could be improved with better integration with other cloud solutions."
"Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."
"I believe we should include a VSA license to provide complete endpoint management."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"If you compare with other products, Manage Engine has some features that we like but are not present in Kaseya."
"It's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"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 product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"The solution is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
"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."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
"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."
