Deploying and maintaining software and hardware is way more automated because of it. It feels like I can always come up with something to automate with it. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE HAS MOST DEFINITELY INCREASED. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KACE Unified Endpoint Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a solution for OS Imaging and Patch/Updates Deployment. This was a great tool for pushing the application to the end-point devices and managing updates from a single dashboard. The ability to do inventory tracking was certainly very beneficial at that time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

KACE SMA offers a solution to many of our problems like Asset Management, Software Deployment, Ticketing/Helpdesk, and Patching. While I haven't used many other RMM solutions, KACE does hit the mark on many of the services it offers; some quirks pop up as you become a more "advanced" user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

The primary services that I find to be quirky are: "Run at next connection if Offline," the "Native Powershell Scripting," and the API. They do work, but you have to do some extra work to make it reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KACE Unified Endpoint Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to run custom code on endpoints has streamlined our processes and allowed us to manage remote computers more effectively. Furthermore, we can report on custom queries which gives us flexibility and power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

Kace has helped us integrate all of our IT needs from inventory to imaging. Having these appliances to do everything automatically and pushed software is a plus. Summer tasks are so much easy imaging across the network with almost zero technicians intervention.

We have been using KACE SMA since 2008 and SMD since 2010; our Inventory became more accurate, and computers were rolled out faster. Our techs adapted quickly to the new service desk, and the user could check the status of their ticket by login into the user portal.

KACE supports Windows and Apple platforms; we can manage everything from one solution. We love it.

Support, whenever we need, they fix our problems, so we don't have to keep our system down for too long. Overall KACE It is a great solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there is always room for improvement, however... at this point KACE does what we need.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

This product is an excellent multifunctional use application that you can use it for asset tracking, scripting, inventory, patching, and even discovery. The cost is also reasonable for the capabilities. You can also highly customize the service desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

Two areas that can improve would be to have a better-integrated chat function with the users and screen sharing. Also, I would love to see integration with Dell TechDirect having proactive support capabilities. Support would be good too if you could have chat with support from the appliance directly with Quest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KACE Unified Endpoint Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use the help desk feature to manage multiple levels of help desk and multiple service queues. This software helps us with the process of keeping our user base services. We also use this appliance as a layer of security defense by patching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

We were using Kace K1000 appliance management to manage our IT peripherals. We do have our offices at many locations; We decided to manage our assets at a single point, so we decided to go with KACE. Whenever we join the system to domain Kace endpoint picks up the system details, and it will list in the the dashboard with all hardware details and installed software in the pc.which helps us to maitain our assest for auditing purpose. Initially it was designed to work well with dell systems later they have release api to support HP and lenovo systems. We also had patch management support where we can able to push windows security patches every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

When it comes to cost, It is pretty high. Many small-scale companies won't be able to get this software. Sometimes endpoints crash and the system loses connectivity to the KACE. Other than that I do not see any drawbacks, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KACE Unified Endpoint Manager:

KACE can be very useful to manage multiple PC's even we have multiple locations it can be brought at a single point using KACE endpoint. We can also able to deploy software at ease through out organization. But we do have other competitors who can able to provide this facility with lower cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KACE Unified Endpoint Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are managing our global systems using Kace for inventory management and software auditing purposes. We are also having an idea of implementing a helpdesk in our organization. At times we use silent deploy software to our systems when in need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
