Likelihood to Recommend Ivanti ITAM suite is very robust and offers all the features you need in an ITAM solution. Out of the box, you get all you need, but you are able to customize and add processes that are missing very easily. It will work for any organization, regardless of complexity. We have the full suite of Ivanti products and there are nice integration options that make usage very seamless.
Read full review 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.

I can get information on all applications running on devices on my network. I can get information on what systems are not currently patched and up to date with MS and Virus definitions! Read full review Cons Licensing can be complex and is fairly expensive. I did not research other ITAM solutions as we use the entire Ivanti suite to see how pricing compares, but it does seem expensive. Be careful when you are building you CMDB module in the Ivanti Service Desk tool, we found the hard way that create custom CI processes requires an ITAM license. We have submitted a few bugs and the resolution from support seems slow. I find this is common with many vendors, but was hoping for better resolution times with Ivanti. Read full review Configuring automated software installs is difficult, and logs do not present useful information for troubleshooting. Customer support will just refer you to search itninja.com when you call in for support issues. KACE community site (itninja.com), has outdated documentation, and answers to questions are usually vague at best. KACE Amp agent constantly breaks, and has to be re-installed on end user computers. A parent-child relationship in the ticketing system requires you to create a process. Remote provisioning fails consistently and does not provide any useful information as to why it failed. K1000 is overpriced for the jobs it actually performs and the work that is required to maintain it. Read full review Alternatives Considered This is the only software suite in its category I have any real professional experience with, so I cannot speak to how it stands up to the competition
Read full review DAM blows away what Free wear we were previous trying to tweak and change for use to benefit the County. But as we looked into DAM we saw much more available with this product compared to what we had been trying to use over the last 10 years. It took a lot of convincing to get County Administration on board with County IT but after we had Dell come in and demo software and appliand to BOS and County Administrator they saw the added benefits of going with DAM! It has been a great addition to our County IT tools!
Read full review Return on Investment We have seen tremendous ROI with custom processes set up to manage the lifecycle of our assets. This was a huge void for us previously and now we can see when assets are coming/going and when they should be retired. Integration with other apps via API has allowed us to automate manual tasks and streamline processes. Tie-ins with the CMDB function of Service Desk have allowed us to create dynamic workflows to manage the lifecycle of assets and other related assets. Very powerful use case. Read full review Asset Tracking works exceptionally well, until the AMP agent breaks an endpoint machine. Quick re-install of the AMP agent usually resolves the issue. The remote provisioning tool fails 90% of the time. If this worked properly or informed us why the remote provisioning failed, this tool could become an invaluable asset. We canceled the support contact because the renewal price was expensive and cost just as much as the initial purchase price. Read full review ScreenShots
