Ben Blissett - PeerSpot reviewer
Broken from the beginning and never functioned as anticipated
They had a major issue that resulted at one point (the straw that broke the camel's back for us, although we'd been fighting with support for months by that point in time) in which every Kaseya VSA customer was offline for two weeks. This vulnerability pushed us over the edge. It never functioned as intended. If it functioned as it was supposed to, it would've been fantastic. However, the previous solution we used just performed reliably and so much better. I can't say that there was anything positive about my experience. The intent of the software, other than integrations, is to be able to just make an anytime secure direct connection to an endpoint. However, whenever we would connect, at least half the time, it would not record keystrokes properly, no matter what system we connected from. So if you're trying to enter a password, there'd be 2-3 seconds' latency in the response and then it would just spew out a bunch of letters and numbers you didn't type in. You would just try, try, try again to type in something, and just half the time it worked, half the time it didn't. If you brought up more than three or four endpoints simultaneously, it never worked. It was a major point of contention for us. For us, at least, it just didn't work. It just was broken. Scripting didn't fire, reports didn't come back, and monitoring wasn't there. A server goes down or a router goes offline, no notification. Stuff like that. Bush league.

Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The backup tool is highly useful, offering a fast and efficient way to retrieve and restore data."
"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.""
"The ease of access and ease of use was great."
"Regarding the patching and software management, for me, it's the best path."
"Kaseya VSA's best features are auditing and reporting."
"The automation capabilities are incredible!"
"When compared to what we were previously using, one of the most appealing features is that it combines remote control, patch management, and software management into a single portal."
"The training that we received was quite good."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance."
"The product is easy to install."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
 

Cons

"The agent-based monitoring solution can be improved."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Kaseya VSA could be improved with more features to support the latest operating systems."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control strengths."
"The UI could be streamlined. The menu has 18 options, but we only use three. It has a lot of redundant stuff. Software management, software deployment, patch management, etc., all do the same thing, but they're different programs and licenses."
"We actually upgraded the solution due to the fact that we needed the support for Apple devices. We haven't had a chance to test that part of the product just yet, however, that was our biggest criticism of the product prior to this most recent update."
"Sometimes, the product misinterprets the functionality of a machine."
"It's very difficult to update the third-party software on every device."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is robust and the price is good for the features that are provided."
"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, in my opinion, competitive in the market. It is determined by the number of users and licenses needed. Depending on the license count of users, the price ranges from $10 to $80 USD."
"Customers purchase the solutions because it is priced well. There are additional services that have an additional cost."
"Kaseya VSA can be described as a fairly priced product."
"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."
"Licensing is available on a yearly basis and is priced per node."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
