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 remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive."
"We have all the necessary modules for monitoring on the server and workstations."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"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 most valuable part of this solution is the security features that it offers."
"The training that we received was quite good."
"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.""
"The product helps us efficiently fix technical issues and maintain system downtime."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"What I like about TeamViewer Remote Management is the chat feature on the dashboard, which is very useful. The solution also has a meeting feature, but I don't use that. The remote feature and other features of TeamViewer Remote Management also work fine, so it's a good solution."
"The product is secure."
"I use the product for remote access. We are IT service providers. In case anybody has problems with their computer, we use the solution to check them."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
"The user interface is fine."
 

Cons

"The reporting feature in Kaseya VSA could improve by being more user-friendly. The reporting overview is too wordy or the representation can be better."
"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"Our main concern is related to security. Kaseya had a ransomware attack a few months ago, and it was a big concern for us because Kaseya was the main RMM tool that we were using. We faced a lot of difficulties accessing our users and systems. So, security is our main concern."
"It never functioned as intended."
"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."
"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 agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"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 want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"There should be an enterprise version of the solution."
"It could be more secure."
"When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy."
"I have contacted customer service and support a couple of times, but it was not good."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
"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."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"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."
"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."
"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"It is a licensed product."
"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
"The solution's license is expensive."
