KACE Asset Management Appliance vs. Snipe-IT

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.

Snipe-IT is well suited to managed inventory, accessories, contracts, audits, and maintenance. Some features are specific to assets and others cover all types of items put into Snipe-IT. It is tedious to manage user equipment as kits are mostly not usable and checking in items from a user requires each individual item to be checked in.

• 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.

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

Snipe-IT is easy to use, fairly easy to install, and simple for end users to find their assigned equipment. Tweaking it does take some configuration outside of the UI with scripting, config file changes, and battling php configurations at times. The GUI is pretty well done for most day to day functions.

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.
