Pros
"IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is a user-friendly solution that has a good user interface."

More IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT Pros →

"Feature-wise, I think it's more to do with the usability. It's pretty simple and it's got a very low learning curve, so that helps a lot. Feature-wise, things work pretty well as it's provided a lot of information available on the guides and the manuals, and things work as per the description.""We have a support team here in India that has been helpful. We have not reached out to the global support for Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance.""The solution is scalable.""The platform offers efficient stability.""We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management.""We utilize the package management feature the most. We also use it for getting the inventory. Companies like us don't have an inventory or asset management system per se. A lot of companies, for instance, use SCCM as their asset management tool. We are using Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance for asset management, which is a good feature. The feature that I really like is to be able to upgrade to the Windows management systems or Windows version. It is very seamless, and I have found it fairly good."

Cons
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."

More IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT Cons →

"The remote desktop tool they are using needs improvement. They have integrated some third-party tools for remote desktop connections but that is a bit complicated. That can be further simplified.""The initial setup was burdensome.""Sometimes, it feels like the inventory it takes is not 100% accurate. I would say it is correct 90% of the time. We have had some issues. So, we have to rely on some factors of inconsistency in the data.""The first thing I don't like about KACE is that it needs to have a proper service desk. The categories and the command section do not reflect the users and the permanent users porting commands on updating. There is an issue and delay in loading the commands. We also want a proper structure for infrastructure management. Also, the AI chatbot and user template options are missing.""Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems.""Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."
