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.

Software management excels with comprehensive modules
We are a reseller. I am conducting some research since we are a vendor for the Kaseya solution.  Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path. We have all the necessary modules for monitoring on the server and workstations. All modules are working well, and for me,…

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."
"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."
"Clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint."
"The product is easy to use, easy to implement, and easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"The training that we received was quite good."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"The best features of Kaseya VSA are that it's lightweight over the machine and does not create any overhead over the machine resources, which we really appreciate."
"The most valuable piece of the puzzle for me is what they call Live Connect. It is the piece that allows you to support an end-user without having to take the keyboard and mouse."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be great to have an easier way to patch Linux machines within the product."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"Inability to configure a rule-based management."
"Sometimes, the product misinterprets the functionality of a machine."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"It never functioned as intended."
"The initial setup is quite difficult as the allow port, everything is quite difficult, and especially you need to get the SSL to use if you use it for on-premises."
"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."
"I believe we should include a VSA license to provide complete endpoint management."
"Its scripting language kind of sucked. They have their own version of PowerShell inside VSA. if you want to reach out and grab endpoint information, for instance, to know how many end devices have a program installed, you actually have to write a script for that. It wasn't like how it is in CrowdStrike where you can just do a search, and it just happened. In VSA, you have to write your own script to do it. In terms of new features, an integrated MDM for mobile devices would be awesome."
 

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."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"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."
"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
