KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA)

TelemetryTV

It is primarily used as an image deployment system for our Windows machines. It is used by our IT department which I am part of. The KACE SDA solves the problem of needing a quick and convenient way to re-image our PCs. Every summer we re-image our labs with fresh windows images which allows for clean smooth running PCs for the coming school year.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Windows PC deployments.
Windows PC re-imaging.

Things done well

USMT had issues with successfully capturing user states.
MAC support, stopped supporting newer versions of MAC OS. No APFS support.

Things done poorly

It is most effective in Windows PC environments and doing mass Windows deployments across a wired LAN. It would not be suitable for small office/school environments or for environments with limited PC usage.

Primarily saves us time for maintaining our computer labs.

Return on Investment

The majority of the support reps I talk to on the phone are quick to respond and very helpful. They will take their time helping you with any case for the SDA and have any issues with it. They will help you build new boot environments or deployments if you get stuck or have a problem.
