Find out in this report how the two Patch Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can schedule the patching of the endpoints."
"Patch management was very useful. Backdoor access to the clients was also very useful."
"The solution was scalable."
"The patching is very efficient and we can rely on the alerts that we receive."
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"This solution is our RMM tool and we love the deployment features."
"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 most valuable features of Kaseya VSA are remote control, live connect, and automation."
"With WSUS, you can automatically install and distribute Microsoft security patches without using an internet connection for all clients and servers. It is not difficult to understand how it works and I think it's a very nice tool."
"The most important aspect is that we can centrally deploy the updates that are necessary for the organization. It's important."
"I like that we could evaluate every client and compare some weaknesses and vulnerability exploits in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services. This is a useful way to test applications against an attacker attempting to exploit the operating system."
"We can easily download particular patches, and we can apply them on a group basis and policy basis."
"The product provides a valuable Single Sign-On (SSO) integration feature within our IES environment, particularly with the IT directory and server systems."
"We can track the updates of the PC and servers."
"The most valuable feature is Server Update's stability."
"I am absolutely happy with its stability and performance. It is a stable product."
"The product's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"The predefined reports are not up to the mark and you have to do a lot of customization."
"It's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"The way it is laid out can be improved. If it could be a little more intuitive, it might be a little bit easier. Sometimes, it is hard to find features because they're called something weird, or they're in an interesting location that you wouldn't have thought that they'd be in."
"The audit and KNM tools could improve."
"I believe we should include a VSA license to provide complete endpoint management."
"Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems."
"I would like to see support for other operating systems such as Linux."
"One area for potential improvement involves the administrative portal, where numerous options, including asset management and patch management, are integrated."
"Some issues with scalability in larger organizations."
"Having the ability to group updates by the operating systems would be very helpful."
"Setup is complex."
"The product lacks to offer some of the features offered by some of the open source solutions like Linux and others, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product must improve its support."
"Microsoft Windows Server Update Services could improve the ease of use."
