"I am impressed by the service desk ticketing and asset management."
"There is ease of use, and its pricing was a driving factor."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have an overview of all devices that are accessing our environment."
"Pretty much all of the features are valuable. The inventory is very helpful to be able to keep track of our devices. The deployments make it easy to deploy new software packages or upgrade packages. The help desk is also a great tool for tracking problems and problem tickets."
"You don't have to be an advanced user. Rather, in terms of ease of use, this product is right where it needs to be."

"We'd love to see support for larger dependencies in the scripting feature."
"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 K1000 doesn't communicate well with some clients without SMB. There are some issues with getting things to image correctly because they rely on SMB, and SMB is a protocol that is being removed due to security reasons. Organizations are trying to rely less and less on SMB. I know Quest is aware of it. They've talked about having a new version that wouldn't rely on SMB for connection to the clients, but they haven't gotten there yet."
"The solution needs to have the ability to push out managed feature updates from Microsoft in a more seamless way."
"The labeling process should be more streamlined. It should be easier to do. It gets confusing at times."
"The GUI needs some work. I love all that it can do, however, it can be just be so cluttered at times."
"Easier integration would be beneficial."
