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,…

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The unique thing I like most about Kaseya VSA is the quick indicators that tell us if a machine is idle, in use, powered off, etc. This allows us to handle client tasks when their machine is idle."
"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"Provides efficient automation."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"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 solution has great workflow and server modules."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"The setup is simple."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
 

Cons

"The way it is laid out can be improved. If it could be a little more intuitive, it might be a little bit easier. Sometimes, it is hard to find features because they're called something weird, or they're in an interesting location that you wouldn't have thought that they'd be in."
"The UI could be streamlined. The menu has 18 options, but we only use three. It has a lot of redundant stuff. Software management, software deployment, patch management, etc., all do the same thing, but they're different programs and licenses."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"I would like to see improved virtual infrastructure management."
"The main difference would be the addition of audio transfer between the end-user and the remote connectivity software. That is the one critical piece that we are currently lacking."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is, in my opinion, competitive in the market. It is determined by the number of users and licenses needed. Depending on the license count of users, the price ranges from $10 to $80 USD."
"I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
