Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.

Remote control and massive deployment streamline operations efficiently
It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase. The requirement for employees to be certified before purchasing is understandable yet can be a hurdle. A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial. More training deals, up-to-date articles, and improved documentation would help users navigate the solution more intuitively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"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."
"The platform offers efficient stability."
"The ability to work on printers and everything can be done remotely, which enhances functionality."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems."
"A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial."
"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."
"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 initial setup was burdensome."
"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 can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance provides two remote desktop licenses which are helpful. The price of the solution is high, it would be beneficial if it was more flexible and less expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"It is less expensive as compared to SCCM."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
