    In my opinion, Datto Autotask is exceptionally complicated to set up, manage, and use on a daily basis. I would think the target market for this product would be someone managing a team of 20 - 50 people, possibly more. In my experience, for it to run properly you will need to dedicate at least half an FTE to running this product in an organization of that size per month. I would not recommend it for companies with less than 10 people or for companies that value quick communication with their clients. I would not recommend it for companies using Datto's RMM product. The integration exists, but it is clearly a bolt-on. They were not developed together and they are slow to talk to each other. Frequently you cannot add details from RMM sessions into the PSA without manually copying the ticket number, and if the ticket is more than a week old, then you can't even find it with the ticket number.

    Unanet is a great system and has really helped our managers gain more insight to their projects. We have faster timesheet completion rates which leads to faster billing. We have been very happy with the system but there are some trial and error scenarios where it takes us some time to actually get the data needed or use the system the way we need it to be utilized. Thankfully they do have a great support staff that assists with issues as they arise.

    Pros
    Kaseya
    • The graphical calculations on time spent on requests, how long they were open for, who worked on a ticket last.
    • Grouping by priority so you can determine easier what needs to be addressed sooner rather then later. This also helps if Account Management has conversations a technician is not aware of so they can prioritize efficiently.
    • The email updates that are sent out to the technicians so they are aware of upcoming or stale tickets.

    • The time keeping component works well. It gives a level of confidentiality we did not have in our previous home grown system.
    • We are able to set up projects based on a number of criteria, allowing us to differentiate for reporting purposes.
    • We can easily import billing information into our Financial system from Unanet, when previously we would manually enter this information.

    Cons
    Kaseya
    • The GUI is a little dated.
    • Some integrations are limited for not being a Datto product.
    • While not as complex to set up as Connectwise, it definitely requires some serious thought during the initial setup.
    • Email processing could offer more options for parsing keywords and allow for more automation.
    • The mobile app is just not worth using in my experience.

    • Would like to be able to modify save and share some of the canned reports.

    Datto Autotask PSA is a full featured product that can do almost anything you need. There is a significant learning curve to get started which requires several hours spent in product training. Additionally, several hours / days are needed to get clients imported, contracts configured, and integrations implemented. Once the setup and user training is complete, the product is very functional, but it's imperative to not get overwhelmed when starting out.

    The portion of Autotask that we've used other companies for prior to using Autotask is the Endpoint Management. The Autotask Endpoint Management (AEM) portal integrates perfectly with their PSA/CRM tools. It's alerting features are much better than the above software as there aren't a bunch of superfluous and unneeded alerts. Instead, it only alerts for things that you specify that you want. Alerts aside, for the PSA/CRM, I don't have much to compare it to as Autotask was the first PSA we tried. It's hard to imagine a PSA having more features or doing a better job than Autotask.

    We were used to Deltek's Costpoint from the prior company and Unanet is far easier to use for users, accounting personnel, project managers, and corporate managers. Continuous enhancements lead us to believe that Unanet will be even better in meeting our needs.

    • We were able to identify the profitability of our entire client base.
    • We identified a loss of over 1 million dollars for time unbilled consultancy fees using metrics derived from Autotask.
    • Autotask helped us serve our client base in a professional manner, it's like having an entire department at your finger tips.
    • Autotask is the heartbeat of our operation.
