Data-Tech Chooses Kaseya Over Major Competitor After Three Month Evaluation.
What Does This Mean For our Clients.
Over the course of an extensive three month evaluation, Data-Tech weighed the pros and cons of these two leading providers of remote monitoring tools, before deciding which company's offering would best serve it's customers.
A managed service provider is only as efficient as the monitoring tools at its disposal. That's why Data-Tech recently conducted an extensive, three month evaluation of two of the industry's most prominent providers of managed service tools-Kaseya and a well know competitor-before making a final decision as to which company's offering would ultimately grant clients the highest and most consistent level of service.
Kaseya is a recognized leader in the production of remote management software for the information technology industry. Founded in Silicon Valley in the year 2000, Kaseya's solutions are used by more than 10,000 customers worldwide, in fields including technology, healthcare, government, education, retail, manufacturing, finance and media, to name a few. The company currently has a presence in over 20 nations throughout the world.
A major competitor of Kaseya is also a developer of remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools designed to help global IT solutions providers become successful managed services operations. With more than 4,200 partners and over 4 million agents sold, the RMM platform has become a common tool of MSPs and IT service providers worldwide.
Recently, a number of managed service providers throughout central Florida have chosen this direct competitor to provide their remote management tools, due in large part to the fact that it's a considerably less expensive alternative to Kaseya's solutions. This discrepancy was at the heart of Data-Tech's evaluation process; it was imperative to determine what effect this choice would ultimately have on customers. Equally important was to ensure that no additional costs would be relayed to clients, regardless of which company Data-Tech chose to partner with.
One major component of Data-Tech's evaluation focused on each offering's capability to remotely connect to clients, real time. When providing managed services in a business environment, a quick, reliable remote connection is paramount. When a tech needs to access a client's workstation, delays and failed connections are unacceptable. Some of the findings were, remote access to the competitor requires a local fat client application. In other words, specific software must be downloaded in order to access the interface. In contrast, Kaseya's web-based console allows for quick and easy access from just about anywhere. This translates to speedy, reliable service whenever and wherever it's needed.
Data-Tech also found that Kaseya provides a much friendlier Graphical User Interface (GUI). This allows technicians, as well as in-house IT professionals, to navigate through the information necessary to address potential issues and complete required tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. In addition, Data-Tech has been able to seamlessly integrate corporate Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with Kaseya's interface to provide a quick, customizable snapshot of the most important data for each individual client.
From Kaseya's interface, technicians can also see which users are not only currently logged in, but which users are active as well. This allows technicians to install updates, address potential issues, and ensure total functionality while users are away from their desks, therefore eliminating employee down time.
In the world of technology, we all know that no program or tool is perfect. No matter how many precautions are taken, problems will eventually arise. The challenge for any managed service provider is to identify and address these issues before they become problems for end users.
Data-Tech's decision to partner with Kaseya ultimately grants clients a superior level of service atno additional cost to them. According to Mike Ponticello, General Manager of Data-Tech, "Overall, Kaseya has more features out of the box and has been the leader in the industry that all others imitate but can never duplicate. The capability to provide the enhanced level of service our customers have come to expect, at no additional cost to them, far outweighs the additional expense on our end."
In this business, there's simply no justification for trying to save a few bucks if it means clients will ultimately lose valuable work time. This is the foundation of Data-Tech's impassioned, proactive approach to managed IT services.
Partnering with Data-Tech allows you to reduce your IT operating costs and delivery risks, while improving IT service levels and performance. At the same time, our flexible approach and expertise allows you to increase your IT capabilities when you need to, with scalable, proven, `world class' services.
