Adam Augustín - PeerSpot reviewer
Country Manager at Prianto Ltd
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.

Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Pros

"The inventory in Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance is very valuable."
"We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management."
"If you consider cost, support, stability, and usability, then it's better; it's slightly on the costlier side, but it's much more stable than most of the other solutions."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"The platform offers efficient stability."
"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 ability to work on printers and everything can be done remotely, which enhances functionality."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."

Cons

"It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase."
"The initial setup was burdensome."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems."
"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."
"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."
"The initial setup was burdensome for us because we manually deployed it."
"A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial."

"The GUI could be improved."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"It is less expensive as compared to SCCM."
"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."
