Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 13 of the 85 other remote desktop apps we grade
Kaseya VSA 10 is a remote monitoring and management platform for managed service providers and corporate IT departments. It monitors Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints, automates patching and routine tasks, and opens remote sessions from the device record. Pricing is by quote, and Kaseya also sells it inside its Kaseya 365 Endpoint subscription.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Kaseya VSA, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price is published, since the page sends you to a quote or a demo, and there is no trial.
- 1
Best for endpoint monitoring and patching for IT providers
Kaseya VSA monitors, patches and supports endpoints for MSPs and IT teams, with automation workflows and audit trails.
- 2
It runs on 4 platforms
Web, Windows, macOS and Linux.
- 3
Automation workflows
Scripts, tasks and visual workflows for maintenance and remediation, with Kaseya Assist generating a suggested workflow from a plain-language description.
- 4
Monitoring and alerting
Tracks device health, services, performance and availability through profiles and notifications, and can trigger automated responses.
- 5
Patch and software control
Patch policies for operating systems and third-party software, with deployment schedules, reboot messaging and status reports.

A 2.0 GPA, above 13 of 85
That is against the other remote desktop apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace Kaseya VSA you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for endpoint monitoring and patching for IT providers
Kaseya VSA monitors, patches and supports endpoints for MSPs and IT teams, with automation workflows and audit trails. No price is published, since the page sends you to a quote or a demo, and there is no trial. Its help desk has announced an end-of-life date for the older VSA 9.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published: the product page directs buyers to a quote or a demo, so there is nothing to grade and it sits at the ordinary C. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed; buyers get a quote or a demo instead. |
| Features | B | Automation workflows, monitoring, patch and software control, remote support, mobile device management and reports with audit trails. The listing shows no gap in the core work. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You deploy agents, build workflows and set up policies before it pays off. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web console with Windows, Mac and Linux, plus IT Glue, BMS and Kaseya 365 connections. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Kaseya VSA is for
- Fits if you run IT for several clients and want scripted automation
- Makes sense if you want audit trails across many endpoints
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a published price: buyers get a quote or a demo
- Skip it if you want to try it first: no trial is listed
- Watch out: Kaseya has announced an end-of-life date for VSA 9 and points those customers to Datto RMM or VSA 10
- Watch out: Kaseya also sells endpoint management through its Kaseya 365 Endpoint subscription, so the licensing route can differ
Good to know
Good for
- MSPs managing many customer sites from one console
- Corporate IT teams with mixed Windows, macOS and Linux fleets
- Teams already using Kaseya's IT Glue or BMS
Worth knowing
- No price is published: the product page directs buyers to a quote or a demo.
- The product page names VSA 10; Kaseya's help desk has announced an end-of-life date for the older VSA 9 and points those customers to Datto RMM or VSA 10.
- Kaseya also sells endpoint management through its Kaseya 365 Endpoint subscription, so the licensing route can differ.

What it costs

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Kaseya VSA you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 65 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Kaseya VSA’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
