Για τη συντήρηση προϊόντων, το Kaseya IT Center τοποθετεί τα νέα αρχεία στο αποθετήριο και αυτά αντιγράφονται με διακομιστές, επομένως όταν εκτελούμε μια εντολή στην εταιρεία μας, αυτή διέρχεται από τους διακομιστές. Μερικές φορές, υπάρχουν ορισμένες περιοχές που οφείλονται σε αλλοιώσεις του προϊόντος, αλλά δεν πειράζει, καθώς το Kaseya IT Center διορθώνει το πρόβλημα γρήγορα. Στο παρελθόν, είχαμε κάποια μεγάλα προβλήματα με τους διακομιστές του προϊόντος να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας για περίπου τρεις εβδομάδες λόγω κάποιας επίθεσης ransomware που έλαβε χώρα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Όχι μόνο η εταιρεία μας, αλλά όλοι στον κόσμο που χρησιμοποιούσαν το προϊόν επηρεάστηκαν από αυτήν. Το προϊόν έχει βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφαλείας του και προς το παρόν η εταιρεία μας δεν αντιμετωπίζει κανένα πρόβλημα με τη λύση. Συνιστώ το προϊόν σε άλλους που σκοπεύουν να το χρησιμοποιήσουν, καθώς είναι ένα ωραίο προϊόν που σας επιτρέπει να κάνετε εύκολα τη δουλειά σας, ενώ παράλληλα σας επιτρέπει να αναλάβετε το κομμάτι της αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων. Βαθμολογώ το συνολικό εργαλείο με οκτώ στα δέκα.

Centralized control has improved data center virtualization and streamlined DC DR replication
The pricing of VMware vCenter is high. What was earlier, before it was acquired by Broadcom, was different. Now, Broadcom has acquired it, and the earlier arrangement was that we used to bundle the license and purchase it according to our choice. Now, they bundle it with vSAN, which many organizations may not use. Although we purchase it along with the bundled license, we pay for something which is of no use to us because we have our own storage. If they had separate pricing for each module, organizations could purchase only the modules they need, and the price would lower. For smaller organizations, this can become a huge cost issue. For larger organizations, there is no issue, but for medium-sized organizations, they have to shell out a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaseya's Synthetic Backup functionality impressed me."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"Kaseya IT Center is a platform that is growing all the time and expanding with more scripts and new capabilities, and it is useful and very easy to learn."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"One feature I really like about VMware vCenter is its ability to change hosts easily. It is highly available and very useful for our operations."
"It is easy to create and manage virtual infrastructure."
"It is easier to manage a larger number of nodes per cluster. Currently, if we are managing a minimum of 64 nodes in a single cluster, that capacity can be increased."
"We must create a VIN on each node. You want to make the VIN ten times if you have a thin host. We mostly create VMs, and the vCenter publishes the template on all hosts."
"The product's emphasis on high availability and DRS aligns with our priorities, making vCenter an integral component in our virtualized environment."
"Additionally, we connect with external systems via APIs to verify compliance with internal policies and methodologies."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of migrating services from one host to another during maintenance."
"VMware vCenter is the best from a management perspective, scoring ten on a scale of one to ten."
 

Cons

"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"Agent communications with the server often fails if Internet access is slow."
"Consolidating these plugins into a unified environment with customizable options to enable or disable features would be highly beneficial."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"We have to buy more VMware products to leverage the centralized management."
"The monitoring features are limited."
"The web interface is not convenient."
"They could provide an easier way to learn NSX and troubleshooting processes for the product."
"VMware vCenter does not have a centralized security dashboard, and it is pretty tedious to configure."
"There needs to be improvement in the pricing model, as the host license is already very high, and customers should have more open options for creating automation scenarios out of the box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product's three-year license package is inexpensive."
"VMware vCenter is not expensive."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"We have purchased monthly licenses for the platform. There are additional costs involved."
"The product is affordable for now."
"The platform has reasonable pricing."
"The solution is pretty expensive for small businesses because there are few lower-scale VMware vCenter solutions."
"The tool used to be worth the money, but after Broadcom acquired it and changed the pricing structure to subscription-only, it became too expensive for us to continue using. Unfortunately, we haven't found any alternative solutions that meet our needs, so this is a significant drawback for us as we explore other options."
