Switching

Moving from Kaseya VSA 10

A calm move, not a big bang. Run both side by side until your team is happy.

How a gradual move to Tenvara works
  1. 1

    Import your customers and sites

    If you use Autotask, the setup helper imports its CSV exports with saved mappings, a check and undo. Otherwise import from any CSV, with a dry run first. Each enrolment token then ties a device to the right customer.

    Importing from other PSAs
  2. 2

    Recreate your policies

    Set monitoring checks, thresholds and patch policies at global, customer and device group level. The defaults suit most MSPs, so you may only need a few changes.

    Policies, checks and thresholds
  3. 3

    Deploy the agent alongside

    The one-line install command runs from any tool that can run a script, including VSA, so you can roll Tenvara out to a whole customer at once.

    Installing the agent
  4. 4

    Rebuild your automation

    Add your scripts to the library, then build automation rules for the routine fixes. Rules can start in dry run so you see what they would do first.

    Building a rule
  5. 5

    Run both side by side, then switch

    Compare alerts and patch results for a few weeks, then remove the VSA agent customer by customer.
