KACE

KACE is a provider of systems management appliances for managing desktops, laptops and servers. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Asset Management and Virtualization. As a large company team themselves (501 to 1,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. At that size expect formal onboarding, documentation and a longer sales cycle.

KACE is based in Mountain View, California. You can read more at kace.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with KACE, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
