KACE is pretty robust in the information it provides on workstations if you are able to use the KACE client. Our desktop support staff uses it extensively.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

Very configurable, high versatility, dependable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

Steep learning curve - getting the training for setting up and using the device will pay big dividends Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KACE Unified Endpoint Manager:

You need to keep the Maintenance Contract current, since it interfaces with the company servers to download driver updates. The support has greatly improved over the past several years and is IMHO excellent. Do take the time to purchase a training package - it will greatly aid the user in setting up the device, understanding the various modes for deploying images, and will give you excellent examples of routines, scripts, etc. which the KACE uses. 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 Kace 2000 to deploy identical images of all machines.

Standardized configurations and installations

Once set up, it can deploy machines with a minimum of intervention

Labor time and money is saved right out of the gate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use both the K1000 and the K2000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multicast imaging of classroom computers reduces hands-on time for my staff. We also use the KACE ticketing systems as our organization's primary helpdesk software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

I like having the ability to cc others on tickets, to create tickets and manually update the submitter, etc, and attach related tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

It would be nice to allow the attachment of more than one file at a time to a comment/response. Additionally, the links and formatting get a bit wonky since HTML is removed. Lastly, I can't create sorting rules in the ticket lists: I can only sort A-Z or Z-A on one column at a time, rather than establishing an order/hierarchy (e.g. by status and then by modified date). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am able to filter all requests from sales staff into one location to ensure that I don't miss anything. Additionally, it makes all requests trackable and allows me to report on common trends or issues (in terms of users or common errors/requests). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

For me personally I can run reports on metering software to show proof of use or no use of software along with asset tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

How you can't run full reports to show actual usage time on software. The information is there when you look at the logs, but no way to make a report unless you want to spend hours entering it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KACE Unified Endpoint Manager:

Just, give it a try! It's constantly growing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How often software is used or not used, what items have been installed, and asset tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is perfect for small companies with more than 75 employees and under 5000. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

The SDA is a great way to deploy windows and required software in a bunch of different ways depending on your needs. The ability for users to download and install software from the SMA provides less stress on our team and allows users more flexibility.The customization of communication emails based on the ticket status or other things allows the users to know exactly what is going thru the whole process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KACE Unified Endpoint Manager?

The user interface can be a little deceiving and setting up some features like user downloads in the SMA can be tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability for our users to email or visit the web interface to submit service desk requests allows our team to provide a better service to the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
