    Chose ConnectWise RMM
    We are not a fan of Kaseya's business practices and have moved away from them. We find ConnectWise fairer and easier to work with. Automate was our long-term RMM. RMM deeply simplifies scripting and access. The web version of LabTech was very clunky, and we experienced frequent …

    Chose Kaseya VSA
    Kaseya VSA compares well to other solutions available. I think some of the other solutions so have some small areas which are better than Kaseya VSA, however as an overall product, Kaseya VSA seems most complete. I'd like to see them continuing to evolve the product as it …

    Chose Kaseya VSA
    Kaseya is cheaper compared to Continuum RMM solutions, and also has a better feature set of tools. The reporting has more customization than what continuum offers.

    CW RMM is well suited to managing Windows-based environments, automating routine tasks, and providing remote system access. It maintains SOC 2 compliance and offers options such as consent-to-control. It gives excellent visibility into backup status and system events. Built-in reports make it easy to evaluate environment changes. The Auvik network monitoring is vastly better than what we had with Lab Tech.

    If the software functioned as it was intended, it would be probably a 7 out of 10. It lacks the majority of customization that SolarWinds N-central supplies, but also supports some customization that other solutions we have tried do not. Again, if the software didn't consistently break, the ability to implement automated scripting via PowerShell and the capacity to manage 10+ endpoints at once in different windows is great.

    Pros
    ConnectWise
    • Automation of actions that we as IT consultant have to routinely implement.
    • Great ticketing system.
    • A very good proactive instead of reactive tool for my industry.
    • Notifying of strange behavior on the network or on a specific computer.

    • Being able to see systems that are not within the local network allows us to be able to troubleshoot and work with the end users no matter where they are or where we are as it is cloud based.
    • Several functions can be "automated" so staff do not have to keep going back and scanning for updates, push Windows updates and or push sensor updates.
    • VSA offers a variety of system information about all of the assets that have the endpoints installed on them so we can easily see the system specs without having to actually connect to them and pull up the SysInfo on each unit.

    Cons
    ConnectWise
    • The agent service used for RMM access is known to fail, and needs to be restarted on occasion
    • Ongoing UI changes for 2 years, causing confusion where certain features are now located or how they work
    • Needs more documentation

    • Support - Like all other competitors support is OK but the product is robust enough to reduce support requirements.
    • Customer Service - another team that is a bit poor especially when the issue involves multiple departments. Otherwise, the direct rep is very friendly and professional.

    Usability

    If I were new to remote management and had no experience with previous platforms, I might have rated this higher. Coming from Labtech's data views and customizable screens, I found some things easier to find.

    I think this is a solid tool for enterprise IT, however it would be higher if Kaseya VSA addresses the areas raised around recent stability, their support team, multiple session & screen support etc. It does do it's main job and allows an easy way for IT to operate and is mostly fine.

    It was lots of back and forth email communication whenever I tried to solve my connection issues. I would send them detailed logs of the date, time, computer, and more of when I was experiencing connection issues. All I would get is an email back a few days later saying that they didn't find an issue in the service

    Having evaluated and used other platforms, ConnectWise is above the rest in the market. Having the additional tools for patch management, reporting, Dashboard is key to running the help desk for our company. The ability to run scripts and support the end-user is key and ConnectWise Command lets us do our job efficiently as possible.

    There are other products that do some of what Kaseya does, but I've not personally worked with another product that does everything Kaseya does. Sure there are plenty of remote control products, but products that do as much as Kaseya are few and far between. Hard to go wrong with the sheer scope of functionality!
