Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
KACE is currently utilized to track all end-user computers in real time, and monitor the software installed on those computers. KACE can deploy pre-configured software packages or software updates to monitored computers. KACE is configured with a ticketing system, to manage incoming user requests for assistance with IT related problems.
- Monitors remote computers and tracks software installed on those computers.
- Smart labels allow for automation of software installs/upgrades using analytics.
- Contract monitoring system with alerts when a third party contract is nearing expiration.
- Comes with a ticketing system, that can have multiple ticket queues, to manage incoming requests for support.
- Using processes, you can automate opening multiple tickets for work needed on a task. (ie. open multiple predefined tickets for a new employee hire).
- Kace has had substantial improvements since Quest assumed ownership from Dell.
- You can configure notifications for almost anything, since you can utilize their wizard or manually write your own SQL queries.
- 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- KACE community site (itninja.com), has outdated documentation, and answers to questions are usually vague at best.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.

DAM will not Bust your Budget!
I use Dell Asset Manager (KACE) for inventory and real time data on all systems on my network.
Helps with keeping up to date inventory of users online and is a great trouble shooting tool for our IT department.
You can get a lot of useful information on systems through DAM! From systems spec's to software on it as well as current MS and Virus updates!

- Gives you real time data to systems on my network.
- 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!
- As with most items in IT there is a learning curve to using this product. But once you get the general idea of how this software flows it is quite easy to navigate and get information.
- Has a good reporting base but it was easy to learn how to make your own specific reports!
- I would like to see more color options for dash board setup is sorta blah!!
