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.
XEOX is very well suited for scenarios where a high level of customization is needed. No other tool we have tested can be tailored so exactly to one's needs. It is possible to automize basically anything using custom scripts and the monitoring and health state of the devices is completely customizable, individually for every device.
However, this reflects in the complex interface which is quite overwhelming at first sight. Therefore, I highly recommend contacting the support team to get an introduction into their product. They offer one-to-one meetings for free and make the first steps a lot more easier!
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.
It has a health state for our devices which is completely customizable per device. So we can see on first sight whether there are some issues which are relevant for us.
It is possible to run arbitrary powershell scripts which makes it even possible to automize tasks which are not supported natively by XEOX.
The Windows patching is highly customizable: Even complex patch plans with multiple device groups which are patched at different times can be implemented.
The support is excellent. The response time is typically within hours on working days. They have also implemented some of our features requests. Everything is included in the licence.
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.
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
The support answers withing hours (sometimes even minutes) on working days. One can also arrange a one-to-one meeting with them to go over specific needs. They even advised me on creating a good patch plan and shared their knowledge of patch management with me. Everything without any additional costs besides the standard licenses.
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!
