(1-2 of 2)- 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- KACE community site (itninja.com), has outdated documentation, and answers to questions are usually vague at best.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.

- 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.
DAM will not Bust your Budget!
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!!

- Original investment was very substantial but I believe will be well worth it in the long run!
- DAM gives us a great view of what happening and whats on out network as far as PC, Laptops and Servers.
- The reporting function will help with budget proposals to BOS for County Budgets and giving exact numbers of systems and software and devices on the County Domain
It has been a great addition to our County IT tools!
