    Flexera
    Well suited for single pane dashboard of all cloud spending breaking down to group, user, resource level. This allows ability to track down users who have abnormal usage. What is required from the customer's end is extensive time and resources to set the platform up and curate to their desired specifications. You need at least two people dedicated to managing this platform.

    The KACE Management Appliance does many different things, but does not do them as well as other products. It is an all-in-one system for Asset tracking, software management, ticketing system, Contact management, and reporting. If you require basic functionality for these, then this product will meet your needs. But when you begin needing advanced/granular functions from the appliance, it will fall short.

    Quest Software
    • The UI is clunky and could use a redesign
    • Support is good but sometimes it's hard to get someone right away or a response in a timely manner
    • expand some support beyond dell and others to include something like Microsoft Surfaces, etc.
    • KB articles need a refresh, there are a lot of older things out there that don't apply anymore.

    Usability
    Flexera
    1) the platform errors out - once clicking into report findings the platform does not redirect to the correct location. 2) the reporting is often outdated or incorrect. 3) policies have to be updated manually and updated very frequently - policies error out if they are not up to date. --- It came down to build versus buy. After two years of ROI not being visible, we decided to build inhouse. In a few months, we've replicated Flexera ONE's entire platform. This will be more regular and is highly suggested as you have full control over every automated policy being applied in AWS, Azure, and GCP. The dashboard/visibility is also easy as you can use Grafana or Omni to ingest the cost utilization data.

    The appliance and software does its job, as it's intended to. There aren't many other bells and whistles. integrates well with MFA (okta), integrates well with KACES SDA. The modules it has will suit most needs. If you have the money in the budge, i'd suggest going with professional services to help with the setup/integration. There are some parts that are cumbersome and may require support. Save yourself the headache

    We were not able to get SCCM to stabilize and work, it would continually fail to add computers to groups and fail to install programs/updates to computers in a defined group. Continually, user community forums kept recommending to replace it with another solution. JIRA is a much more efficient ticketing system, and we migrated the ticketing system from KACE to JIRA.
