Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 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 solution is scalable.""We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management.""The platform offers efficient stability."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners.""The product has the best features for ITSM.""The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."

Cons
"The initial setup was burdensome.""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.""Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution.""Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems.""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."

"There could be flexibility in terms of customization.""Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
