Overall Satisfaction with KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SDA)

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.
  • Windows PC deployments.
  • Windows PC re-imaging.
  • USMT had issues with successfully capturing user states.
  • MAC support, stopped supporting newer versions of MAC OS. No APFS support.
  • Primarily saves us time for maintaining our computer labs.
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.
