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.

Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"The solution was scalable."
"This solution is our RMM tool and we love the deployment features."
"The automation capabilities are incredible!"
"As a small IT shop, the weird feature that the VSA has that I have not found anywhere else is they have these little colored dots that tell you the status of the machine. Is it offline and powered up? Is it actively being used? Is it idle? A lot of our clients ask us to do things for them, but, of course, they don't really want us to be underfoot. So we always look for, "Hey, there's an idle machine. We can work on that one now." And to say it makes it easy, we can do that at a glance. In any other tool we've looked at, you have to go several layers deep to see if the machine is in use, and you could spend your entire day just trying to find a machine that was idle, whereas, with Kaseya VSA, you can tell at a glance."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, inventory, and patch management."
"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."
"We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client."
"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Remote Access."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."
"Almost all the features are valuable to me, like the scalable feature and its highly interactive software."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."
"The remote access is most valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The response to bugs is slow and software improvement comes slowly too. The lack of response to our feature requests made it feel like they were going into a black hole. Additionally, when we encountered bugs or issues with the VSA, they were slow to respond to those too."
"The deployment process could be better."
"If you compare with other products, Manage Engine has some features that we like but are not present in Kaseya."
"There is room for improvement in the integrated mobile device management, MDM."
"It never functioned as intended."
"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 main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
"The security of the solution could be more secure."
"There could be stable connectivity for the product’s current technology."
"The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."
"AnyDesk is easier compared to TeamViewer Remote Management since there is no password. We use AnyDesk more."
"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"There should be an enterprise version of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"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."
"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."
"It is not expensive. Anyone can afford it. Most of the time, we get a discount for licenses. We had about 5,000 agents, and we received a discount on the price. There is only the licensing cost. If you use the on-prem version, you also have the infrastructure cost."
"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."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"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."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"Users need to pay a yearly license for TeamViewer Remote Management."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
"It is a licensed product."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
