This used to be a Dell product.

There are cheaper and easier to use alternatives like PDQ

I recently started using this and there’s quite a lot you can do it here.

I’m still being trained on it but with my current knowledge, you could possible manage the following:

  • Create patch/updates mgmt cycles for your hosts
  • Push software to certain/all hosts
  • Manage inventory and discover unmanaged ones
  • manage licenses and app mgmt
  • OS image deployment
  • Deploy scripts/policies

I’m unsure how much we pay and what type of license the company has but managing around 4000ish devices around multiple timezones becomes a lot easier.

As other said, ask for a POC and get a feeling for it, as well for an estimate for your company/n° of devices as you might have other UEM that could possibly suit you better.

The feeling I get from it: Amazing UEM with slighty outdated UI, UX quite straight forward and easy to understand but needs quite a lot of configuration beforehand (once set your scripts/policies/connections you are good to go). ALso, it seems to be expensive but I don’t have this information to compare with other UEMs.

Very helpful summary for KACE by @primalbyte ​ ! Definitely, there are many alternatives as @adrianyong4136 ​ mentioned.

If you want to explore other products, Action1 might fit the comparison. It does most things mentioned above: software deployment, patch management, scripting, and inventory, except for license management and OS image deployment.

If patch management is your priority, here is a list of all patch management products ranked by ease of use by G2 - Action1 ranks number 1 in it.

KACE is trash. Please don’t. Had to deal with it for 5 years before finally moving to something else.
