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

"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 product's support team is very quick to respond, especially because the tool's technical team operates in the same time zone where I am located."
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"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."
"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 Live Connect module provided by Kaseya. It is a powerful module. I also like the Agent Procedure module. We work with it most of the time."
"We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"Provides efficient automation."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC."
"There are some great features."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable."
"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

"One area that could be improved is the documentation, which often contains errors that prevent you from following along, especially during migrations."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"The user interface is somewhat outdated."
"It's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"I have encountered scalability issues."
"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."
"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."
"I have been looking for a way to deploy patches via the internet to selected equipment from Kaseya VSA, but it seems impossible."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"There should be an enterprise version of the solution."
"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."
"Using the solution’s remote connection causes some lagging issues."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because every application gets bugs. So, there are some instances where it might be buggy and hanging."
"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"Integration with other tools would be great."
"If there were a way for users to do access reporting, that would be an ideal addition to the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
"We use annual licensing, but we also have a special agreement."
"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 pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
"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."
"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 is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"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."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
