User Testimonials
KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SDA)Ninite Pro
Likelihood to Recommend
It is most effective in Windows PC environments and doing mass Windows deployments across a wired LAN. It would not be suitable for small office/school environments or for environments with limited PC usage.

  • It provides a central dashboard where we can quickly patching assess needs and address any problems.
  • The client is relatively lightweight and doesn't impact user productivity.

Support Rating
The majority of the support reps I talk to on the phone are quick to respond and very helpful. They will take their time helping you with any case for the SDA and have any issues with it. They will help you build new boot environments or deployments if you get stuck or have a problem.

  • We don't have to worry that we have vulnerable un-patched third party applications on our workstations.
  • The products works off-network, so we don't have to worry about road warriors going unpatched
