I selected Passly at first as it would allow for a single sign on with azure to Kaseya VSA. Kaseya has made access to different products very different. VSA does not have single sign on with Azure where as Vorex/BMS does. This is a feature that Kaseya should make unified …

Google's Authenticator app is easy and streamlined, like much of Google's products. The home screen shows you the security code and how much time is left. Kaseya's AuthAnvil requires multiple clicks to even reach the security code, and only has a progress bar that lets you …

Kaseya’s products have a lot of features to them that help an MSP do their job. Accessing and getting to them is a lot easier with AuthAnvil. It’s secure and easy to use. Atera has a similar design, but overall you don’t come close to Kaseya’s products. I often found myself …

We have transitioned our Multi-Factor authentication processes to use either Authy, Duo, or Microsoft Authenticator, depending on the application use-case. We still have some clients using AuthAnvil, but it is no longer our preferred application for MFA. The other offerings in …

I am currently testing Okta as well. Okta seems to have a lot more functionality. They have integrations with mostly every SaaS around. They have a smoother Windows 2FA that includes push notifications and Yubikey integration. AuthAnvil is the only 2FA service available for …
Chose Passly by ID Agent
We are pretty satisfied with the features and price of Kaseya. It's easier to deploy than say Entrust or Symantec. What really makes it stand out is the integration with the overall Kaseya environment and managing everything from one pane of glass.

We have not evaluated other products. We use several ManageEngine products and are very happy with them. The pricing is reasonable and support is very good.

Chose ManageEngine ADManager Plus
Between the price point and ease of implementing, it made it a no brainer. The product is a valuable asset.
Chose ManageEngine ADManager Plus
We did not research any other applications. ADManager Plus was the first that appeared in our search. After a demo with their sales team, it was apparent that this was the application we wanted. The price was perfect too. We ordered it right away and implemented it within a …
Chose ManageEngine ADManager Plus
As far as reporting, ADManager Plus is on par with these other companies, but you would need an additional module to get the exact same reports. The items that put this in front of the other companies is the ability to create users and make group/permission changes.
Chose ManageEngine ADManager Plus
My company already owned ADManager when I started with them. If I remember correctly, it was chosen because it is a fairly cheap tool and because we also use Manage Engine's Service Desk Plus application. ADManager's main competitor (in my eyes) would be PowerShell, now that I …
Chose ManageEngine ADManager Plus
We tried ADManager, and as we liked it so much we didn't try any other tools. We use the free trial and it just works for us.

From my experience, Kaseya made a mistake with Passly. It does not work correctly. When it does work it is very delayed causing issues for logging into the system. When Kaseya was contacted they could not find users at all. When they finally found the users they could not edit it needing them to escalate to development to fix accounts.

Any environment that runs on AD needs ADManager Plus. They have already built-in 95% of the queries and reports you will need. It provides a great window into your AD environment. The interface is very intuitive and for any reports or queries that aren't already packaged the product makes them easy to build

Cons
  • Web interfaces are relatively complex, not entirely ready for end-users
  • Token transfers are slightly cumbersome (e.g. moving from hard to soft-token and vice-versa)
  • It remains as a separate, local AD-driven solution, independent from external, rising auth platforms (e.g. Azure)

  • Reports can be hard to get what you need...sometimes they include fields that you don't need.
  • The automation feature broke after an update and our complex automations stopped working.

Support Rating
They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.

Support for this software is not the greatest. If the software is not completely down, it can take up to a day to get a response back. However, once they do contact you they are friendly and helpful.

We have transitioned our Multi-Factor authentication processes to use either Authy, Duo, or Microsoft Authenticator, depending on the application use-case. We still have some clients using AuthAnvil, but it is no longer our preferred application for MFA. The other offerings in the market fulfill the same requirement with either lower or no additional cost and are easier to manage and more consistent in their performance.

Return on Investment
  • Using AuthAnvil to log into Kaseya VSA multiple times was definitely a loss in productivity.
  • AuthAnvil did provide lots of security for our products because everyone would be deterred by AuthAnvil and Kaseya VSA's labyrinth-like log in process.
Read full review
  • It has a positive impact in our business in terms of resource and time management.
  • It is reducing our time to resolve a user, password, group and mailbox related queries.
  • It is reducing our time in bulk modification.
  • It is helping us in the Auditing as it can generate multiple types of reports in just a few clicks.
