Enables organizations to install patches easily, but the UI must be more user-friendly
We can push many things from a centralized endpoint system. If we want to install software on multiple servers, we can do it from the centralized system. We can also run commands and push packages from a centralized location. We can automate things. Images are deployed on our laptops through Ivanti. Whenever a new laptop comes, we connect to the network, and the system gets installed with predefined applications. It happens automatically.

Lightweight tool aids in remote management but needs better support
Primarily, we are using it for remote monitoring and management as an MSP. We are basically a reseller; we are a service provider, so Kaseya VSA is one of our tools which we use for our managed services The best features of Kaseya VSA are that it's lightweight over the machine and does not create…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to Ivanti Patch for endpoints, I find peer-to-peer patching valuable. Having a peer-to-peer patching capability is highly beneficial for us."
"Because of the internet gateway, we were able to get clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint which we needed to do recently when everyone was working from home."
"Clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint."
"It's been doing a lot for us, especially with third-party software patching and scheduling. We create multiple projects for monthly patch distribution and manage it all well."
"The product is easy to use, easy to implement, and easy to manage."
"Administration, maintenance, patching, monitoring, and helpdesk are the most valuable features."
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"However, for an office with over a hundred users, multiple locations, and small IT tech teams, this has been an invaluable service for us to have."
"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.""
"We are a managed IT service provider, so we get more benefits when we use Kaseya."
"The product is quite affordable compared to other RMM solutions on the market and we only have a few complaints."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, inventory, and patch management."
 

Cons

"I'm currently struggling with one of the issues related to Linux or Ubuntu. Ivanti does not support Ubuntu and it has a limitation of CentOS to a specific version, which is CentOS 7, not 8."
"Inability to configure a rule-based management."
"It would be great to have an easier way to patch Linux machines within the product."
"The major challenges are macOS updates, patching, and backups. And for drawbacks, I wish Patch management was cloud-based instead of hosted on our own server."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The audit and KNM tools could improve."
"Setting up VSA is difficult. I'm still not done configuring it."
"The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"I would like to see improved virtual infrastructure management."
"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"We actually upgraded the solution due to the fact that we needed the support for Apple devices."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"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."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
