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…

Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management
We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"When compared to what we were previously using, one of the most appealing features is that it combines remote control, patch management, and software management into a single portal."
"The product is quite affordable compared to other RMM solutions on the market and we only have a few complaints."
"The remote management is quite good, and the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"Our ROI is probably about six months, and we started seeing real improvement in our efficiency at that point because we were still finding new things we wanted to do with the solution."
"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."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"Due to this product, we've been able to improve our IT services and how we work."
"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."
 

Cons

"If you compare with other products, Manage Engine has some features that we like but are not present in Kaseya."
"Its scripting language kind of sucked."
"Setting up VSA is difficult. I'm still not done configuring it."
"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 management of patches also needs improvement."
"We actually upgraded the solution due to the fact that we needed the support for Apple devices."
"I have been looking for a way to deploy patches via the internet to selected equipment from Kaseya VSA, but it seems impossible."
"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."
"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"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."
