"The tool is a stable product."
"The website development section is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"We can get the majority of what we need with this product and do not have to spend money on something else."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have an overview of all devices that are accessing our environment."
"The Systems Deployment Appliance is magical when it comes to automating deployment... Not only can we have multiple images, specific to end-users' uses, but we have a plethora of post-installation tasks to install or configure the system, tasks that can be re-used for each system. You just have one basic base image, and then you use the post-install tasks to customize everything else. It is amazing."
"With KACE, we were able to have a simplification of the software deployment management with more granularity and flexibility."
"It also does patch management. At the moment, I'm rolling out a new feature update, 20.8.2, and it's a great challenge because we have to deploy it to 1,200 computers in the home office. We want to do it without interrupting production, but KACE is reliable and it's easy to adapt it to my needs for how and when to deploy the feature update."
"When vulnerabilities are exploited so much, it is nice to be able to quickly detect or deploy what is needed within our off-work hours or during work hours without a reboot."
"I can reach people now that I couldn't have reached previously. We are saving about 25 percent in time."
"I like how when you click on the device, it shows you everything that has changed as well as the software versioning. I am really enjoying the inventory aspect of it."
"The tool needs to improve its visual system."
"The solution can be quite expensive, compared to other options on the market."
"The better way to improve the solution is by working on an area where it lacks, which includes the migration part."
"When we have to do a rebuild on these machines, although it is rare, I would like to be able to do more than 10 at a time. With the current limit, it slows me down because I have to set up 10, then the next 10, and so forth."
"The GUI needs some work. I love all that it can do, however, it can be just be so cluttered at times."
"Scalability is my primary concern right now."
"Sometimes the information is not as real time as it's supposed to be."
"I've had some issues with patch catalogue."
"We had issues with the tool's support. We are a Dutch firm and everything has to be in Dutch. We were not able to do the alerts. You were required to tweak them a lot to get them in the language that you preferred. The solution's support depended on the person that you got online. Sometimes, the response was fast and other times you needed to wait a long time. The support also depended on the levels of support that you had requested."
"The solution needs to have the ability to push out managed feature updates from Microsoft in a more seamless way."
"What could be improved is the possibility to use replicas in a secure way outside our network in order to maintain the machines that never connect to our corporate network."
