Kaseya VSA

Comprehensive IT Management with Robust Security Features

Comments: Overall, Kaseya VSA is a powerful and comprehensive IT management tool with a range of features that can help streamline IT operations and improve security. While it may be complex and costly for some organizations, it can be a worthwhile investment for those in need of robust IT management capabilities.

Pros:

One of the major strengths of Kaseya VSA is its remote management capabilities. The software allows us to remotely manage devices and endpoints from a single, centralized console, which saves time and effort. It also offers automation features, such as automated patch management, which helps keep our devices secure and up-to-date without manual intervention.Another key advantage of Kaseya VSA is its security features. The software includes a range of security tools, such as antivirus and anti-malware protection, as well as vulnerability scanning and remediation capabilities. These tools help us to maintain a secure IT environment and protect our company data from potential threats.

Cons:

However, there are some downsides to Kaseya VSA. The software can be complex and difficult to use, particularly for those who are not familiar with IT management tools. It can take time to learn how to navigate the software and configure it to meet our specific needs.

Solid RMM

Pros:

Kaseya just scaled up on my number of end points without any issue over the years. It is stable and I hardly face any issue with the agent stability as I have bad experience other RMM that keep needing reinstallation of agent and etc. Kaseya also offers a huge range of solutions ranging from DRaaS, Network Monitoring, Ticketing and security to choose from that integrates nicely inside the RMM.

Cons:

Nothing much except the price is a bit steep but I guess you have to pay for solid software.

Cons:

Complex solutionCan be expensiveSome features are not as reliable as othersUpdates can sometimes be disruptive

A powerful engine marred by lazy, ongoing GUI problems

Comments: We took on Kaseya largely for remote control of clients and Windows/Office patching. We quickly made use of its Agent Procedures and reports modules and then continued on, slowly integrating module after module.

Pros:

Many powerful modules: - I would not even consider Windows patching without Kaseya: it is granular, easy to use, pretty complete - Agent Procedures and Policies allow enormous customization in what you can do - practically any script you can think of can potentially be run through here - LiveConnect is smooth and fast and provides a wealth of tools - Reports, Alerts, and Audit modules are clear (once understood) and provide tremendous detail and customization

Cons:

Persistent, unfixed, obvious GUI issues spanning years and years after being reported: - screens not refreshing; - inconsistent filtering; - misleading word choices in scheduling boxes; - selecting multiple is a chore; - "View" is powerful to *use* but clumsy and unwieldy to *manage/administer* The way installation packages are created is terrible. If you have more than about a dozen OUs, you will see what I mean: you must create a new install package for each OU. We have 90. EVERY ONE OF THEM must be updated every time there is a new Kaseya client release (about four times a year). There should be one package that asks the user its OU based on a database that IT sets up. Kaseya Anti-Virus and Kaseya Anti-Malware (which we used to use) frought with problems, in accurately reporting what was out there & in reliably installing or uininstalling packages. KAM in particular was so broken it caused us to dump the entire thing and switch to Webroot (though the Webroot integration module is a bad joke: it looks like an alpha product, nowhere near beta). Patch rollback is difficult and usually impossible (though this may not be Kaseya's fault).

Kaseya VSA is easy to use and learn

Comments: I have used Screen Connect, Teamview, logmein before coming here with Kaseya and kaseya by far the best.

Pros:

Kaseya has been a staple at our msp for years. It was easy to deploy, easy to update and just simple for new techs to get the hang of. It has all the features we need to support our clients remotely without a problem

Cons:

Nothing I don't like at this time, everything is working as advertised and kaseya has been updating regularly. VSAX has been delayed but that is ok!
