One of the major strengths of Kaseya VSA is its remote management capabilities.

These tools help us to maintain a secure IT environment and protect our company data from potential threats.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Terrible support, worse customer service

Commenti: We paid for the 25 licenses up front and paid for the "on boarding" which they promise 8 hours of training on how to use their software. The Tech that did the on boarding had problems doing anything and said it was bug in the current system and the fix would be out in 3 months he would give us a credit and re-do the onboarding when the problems were fixed. we never heard from him again, we did not use the software as we were never showed how to use it and got next years bill on my cc and called in and spoke to a supervisor who refused to give us any kind of credit and said onboarding hours expire. So we tried using the software ourselves and called support for help. They literally just email you the link to the general help page and say figure it out or you were supposed to learn this in the onboarding (which we never got). So after calling the supervisor and telling him we have a client that is waiting for something we need their help to get it done in their software so we didn't have to manually remove a user & program to the 50+ computers we had added that week or we were leaving Kaseya. The supervisor promised to have support call us and help us with what we needed, would get us the promised credit & would have us re-do our onboarding. Except support never called us and when we called them they said they couldn't do anything but email us links. we have not gotten the credit or a response from the supervisor and the 8 hours of onboarding they promised us & that we paid for we get 2 hours instead. So if you want support they will just email you a link and say figure it out which is fine sometimes but when you need something right away and don't have time to read 50+ pages. Customer service promises the world but has 0 follow through (and yes I have all their promises in writing they don't care) the software is extremely slow and takes 1-2 minutes to load each page. (we have a 50/50 connection) you can host the software on your own server as they list the hardware requirements of a P1 (yes Pentium 1) 2.4ghz 166 fsb 4 gb of ram and 10gb of hard drive space. with requirements that low you would think their software would run fast. the licenses are expensive over $6.50 a month per computer considering they have no templates, no support, no best practices guides, nothing but instructions on how to setup massive amounts of worthless features but very little actual useful features.

Aspetti positivi:

their initial sales pitch was good and convinced us to buy it.

Aspetti negativi:

terrible customer service, NO Support, slow, lousy features for the price

An Affordable and Powerful Remote Management Tool

Commenti: Kaseya VSA is a great solution for IT administrators who need a centralized remote management system. It is easy to use, has a comprehensive set of features, and is relatively affordable. However, it does have its drawbacks, and some users may find it difficult to configure and customize.

Aspetti positivi:

Kaseya VSA is a powerful and affordable remote management tool that allows IT administrators to quickly and easily manage their networks from a central location. It has a comprehensive suite of features that include asset management, patch management, remote access, security monitoring, and more. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it suitable for both experienced and inexperienced users.

Aspetti negativi:

While Kaseya VSA is an effective and powerful tool, it is not without its drawbacks. The pricing model can be complex, and the system may require additional modules to provide certain features. Additionally, some users may find the system difficult to configure and customize.

Solid RMM

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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