Has indicators that tell us if a machine is idle, in use, powered off, etc.
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. We're currently migrating from Kaseya VSA nine to ten. Nine's automation capabilities don't exist, which is the main reason we're upgrading to ten.
Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"Provides efficient automation."
"Patch management was very useful. Backdoor access to the clients was also very useful."
"The patch management and the remote support are very good, especially the remote support. There is a module built into the solution which allows remote control without necessarily interrupting the user. We could manage things in the background without them seeing or interacting with anything, which is a very useful feature."
"Kesaya is highly configurable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users."
"I like the remote control, audit, inventory, patch management, software management, and monitoring features."
"The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"The product is very stable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"There are some great features."
"The most recent enhancements are quite remarkable."
"The product is secure."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"The remote access is most valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the integrated mobile device management, MDM."
"I have encountered scalability issues."
"Its scripting language kind of sucked. They have their own version of PowerShell inside VSA. if you want to reach out and grab endpoint information, for instance, to know how many end devices have a program installed, you actually have to write a script for that. It wasn't like how it is in CrowdStrike where you can just do a search, and it just happened. In VSA, you have to write your own script to do it. In terms of new features, an integrated MDM for mobile devices would be awesome."
"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."
"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."
"Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems."
"Sometimes, the product misinterprets the functionality of a machine."
"There should be an enterprise version of the solution."
"If there were a way for users to do access reporting, that would be an ideal addition to the product."
"I would like to see better pricing, more customization, and increased automation."
"I don't like having so many updates."
"The compatibility needs improvement in TeamViewer Remote Management because there's some incompatibility in some versions of the solution. Some solutions require the higher-performing version of TeamViewer Remote Management. Otherwise, there's incompatibility. The security provided by TeamViewer Remote Management in terms of data transfer also needs improvement. I'd like to see more features in the next release of TeamViewer Remote Management because it's still lacking in features. It would also be good for TeamViewer Remote Management to have a built-in remoting program similar to what Itarian has."
"Using the solution’s remote connection causes some lagging issues."
"One of the defects that I have noticed with TeamViewer Remote Management is that if I am on a certain version and the person to whom I am connected is not on the same version, then it does not connect at times until I update the solution."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaseya's come down in pricing when I compare it to TeamViewer or other cheaper RMMs like LogMeIn."
"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."
"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 depends on what products you want. Kaseya loves packages, and if you are packaging, it is more affordable. If you're not packaging, it tends to be a little bit more expensive than others."
"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."
"The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
"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."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
"Users need to pay a yearly license for TeamViewer Remote Management."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"It is a licensed product."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
