Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."""Being able to connect to client computers without them necessarily needing to be there and being able to put in the patches and manage different information systems is valuable.""The remote management is quite good. Also, the patch management and service desk are great features of the solution.""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.""The most valuable part of this solution is the security features that it offers.""The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to offer control remotely to its users and provide patching capabilities to users.""The most valuable piece of the puzzle for me is what they call Live Connect. It is the piece that allows you to support an end-user without having to take the keyboard and mouse.""The most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."

"We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client.""We use the product to communicate.""The most valuable feature of this solution is Remote Access.""It's considered a trusted application.""Transferring files and viewing data work well with TeamViewer Remote Management.""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.""It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC.""Almost all the features are valuable to me, like the scalable feature and its highly interactive software."

Cons
"The solution is hard to use at first until you understand how it works.""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.""It never functioned as intended.""I believe we should include a VSA license to provide complete endpoint management.""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.""The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""I would like to see improved virtual infrastructure management.""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."

More Kaseya VSA Cons →

"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term.""When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy.""There could be stable connectivity for the product’s current technology.""It could be more secure.""Licensing has always been a concern, as it can be costly when we need simultaneous access for multiple users.""There have been some delays in the past due to unstable internet connection.""VPN connection is an area with shortcomings that need improvement in the solution.""Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is quite good and we are satisfied with it."
  • "I think it costs more than ManageEngine."
  • "The dollar exchange rate in Brazil is very high, so the price should be better for our country."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "We were looking at a price of $22.50 cents per user."
  • More Kaseya VSA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
  • "Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
  • "We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
  • "We pay for a yearly license."
  • "Addition services could be lower priced."
  • "It is a licensed product."
  • "My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Kaseya VSA is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s easy to use, has a good Live Connect feature, and its unified portal.

    A Team Lead at a tech services company explains what he finds most valuable about the solution: “The ease of access and ease of use was great. When Kaseya is deployed on the customer's computer, we have access to the customer. We just need the computer's name or ID, or sometimes, if the user has the same name as their first name, we can find them that way.”

    "The most valuable piece of the puzzle for me is what they call Live Connect. It is the piece that allows you to support an end-user without having to take the keyboard and mouse,” says another Automation Team Lead at a tech services company. 

    PeerSpot reviewer Allan E., Director Of IT / Purchasing Manager at Macomb/St. Clair Workforce Development Board expresses, “One of the most appealing features is that it combines remote control, patch management, and software management into a single portal."
