Patching will be a big part of this, but we also use the reporting to find what is installed and versions.

RE: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
Patching is super easy in KBox. I spent about a day creating PC/server groups (tied to AD/ldap or IP - your preference), then another day creating my various patch groups. Since then (about a year) I've modified the patch groups maybe once or twice. Once you create the PC groups, the patch groups, and schedule the patches, that's pretty much it. Very easy, and excellent reporting. Using SCCM, patching was equally granular as the KBox, but I hated having to spend time to clean up my patch lists. I have not used SCCM in a year, so perhaps this has changed. There is a metering component that you might find useful. Or reports do the same thing. If it matters, I've found Kace/Dell support to be excellent, better than most vendors I've worked with. If you need something and can't figure it out, the support guys will give you a hand. We didn't have any SCCM support, since we purchased it with non-profit/charity licensing.

RE: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
I looked at LanDesk at the same time I looked at KBox. From the demos I saw, it's pretty amazing. But it's expensive, and the company refused to compete on the price point, so I discarded them from our options. By the way, Dave, I use Kbox for reporting for our PC replacement schedule. A simple export and I sort by model, memory, CPU and know which need to go.

Re: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
I think there are a few people on here that use it. At my last place we tested it, before and after the Dell acquisition. Even got very close to buying it, but the week it was due to be signed off the company went into administration. The features were good and I had been pushing for months to get it, but then I moved on to pastures new and they didn't follow it up. They used to have a vm that you could run for 30 days with I think 10 clients.

Re: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
We have it here. I love it. It's saved us sooo much time. Very similar features to SCCM. Actually we had SCCM but I replaced it with KBox. It's an appliance, so upgrades and backups are super easy, too. Not trying to bash SCCM. That's a good product too, but I don't have staff to dedicate to it, like it really needs. We manage about 1,000 PCs/servers with it. It can manage Mac and iPods if you want, and does Dell updates.

RE: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
Yeah.that was one issue. At least when I was using it, there was no good way to schedule updates. And, working with small customers, rebooting the servers or workstations remotely always ended up in a remote visit anyway (due to old computers) which minimized the effectiveness and value of using Kaseya.

Re: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance
Rebooting was not the issue I saw but getting the patches assigned to the machines was an issue. A lot of clicks for little work. I don't know if I will be able to influence them into looking at anything else. I am way down the pole, and happy to be down here but if I end up with patch management I may have a go at getting them to at least look at something else. I mean assigning patches on a machine by machine basis is a little much when you are dealing with more than 100 machines and I have no clue how many they have.
