Overall Satisfaction with KACE Endpoint Systems Management Appliance

We utilize Kace as both a ticketing software system and a end-system control client. KACE allows the IT department to push updates, track and respond to problems and manage our extensive fleet of workstations.
  • Runs quietly - it does not eat up a massive amount of system resources and is silent - users seldom know it is there.
  • Tracking ticketing problems.
  • Pushing updates.
  • The interface... it is very clunky and can be problematic to work with. Refresh is slow - it is sluggish.
  • Too many email updates to ticket resources though, to be honest, this could be an adjustable control feature that I am not aware of. (I use Kace, I do not administrate it.)
  • It allows district wide management of resources including change management, patching, monitoring updating etc.
  • It has allowed our organization to collectively manage most all of our assets and consolidate process.
  • It has provided a solid, though clunky, ticketing system.
It's alright for resource management, however I do not like the ticketing system interface at all - there is a lot of room for improvement. Recently a new GUI was released, it is following the same trend that web GUIs are, that off blockish, light bordered, high contrast mess that drives me nuts. I am NOT thrilled with the new look.
