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…

Console enhancements needed for better driver updates and registry checks with prompt antivirus alerts
N-able N-sight should improve its console functionality. It lacks features for updating drivers, clearing up storage, and conducting registry checks from the console. Additionally, it should provide more detailed notifications and instructions for addressing deployment issues. The system should also allow for remote resolution of issues rather than requiring physical access to the machines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Provides efficient automation."
"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 ease of access and ease of use was great."
"I like the remote control, audit, inventory, patch management, software management, and monitoring features."
"Patch management was very useful. Backdoor access to the clients was also very useful."
"The best features of Kaseya VSA are that it's lightweight over the machine and does not create any overhead over the machine resources, which we really appreciate."
"The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution."
"The antivirus feature is valuable as it notifies us of infections and allows us to address them promptly."
 

Cons

"It never functioned as intended."
"The stability of the solution is good but it can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"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's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"N-able N-sight should improve its console functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
"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."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"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."
"We spend around 3500 rands monthly for services covering seven servers and approximately 150 machines. However, maintenance and support require an additional cost."
