KACE™, the
leading systems management appliance company, today announced its
award-winning KBOX™
family of systems management and deployment appliances has gained
valuable market share from rival Altiris over the past year. In fact, it’s
not even a contest when it comes to head-to-head sales comparisons
versus Altiris, with KACE realizing a dominating 83 percent win rate.
KACE’s appliance-based solution is shaking up
the traditional desktop management and software deployment market that
has long been dominated by complex, software-only solutions such as
those from Altiris, LANDesk, and Microsoft SMS. KACE is rapidly building
a reputation for capabilities the competition can’t
match: ease-of-use, quick deployment, and affordability.
“KACE’s momentum and
win rate against key competitors took off in 2007 and is absolutely
exploding into 2008,” said Rob Meinhardt, CEO
and co-founder of KACE. “Customer feedback
and industry recognition proves it, KACE’s
out-of-the box solution that deploys in hours and saves organizations
tremendous time and money is becoming the solution of choice over costly
and complex software-only systems
management and deployment solutions.”
KACE, the only systems management vendor catering to the large and often
under-served mid-market, has designed its KBOX systems management and
deployment appliances with the unique needs of the medium enterprise in
mind. A recent customer survey highlights the benefits KACE customers
receive, with 90 percent rating their satisfaction of the KBOX extremely
high and another 87 percent reporting the appliance paid for itself in
less than one year.
Topa Insurance Group, a property and casualty specialty insurer based in
Los Angeles, selected the KBOX over Altiris. “We
spent a lot of money trying to get Altiris up and then keeping it
running – from initial deployment costs to
ongoing maintenance,” said Robert Livingston,
CIO for Topa Insurance Group. “The complexity
of the solution made it unusable to us. The KBOX took a fraction of the
time versus that of Altiris to get to the same level of effectiveness.
Additionally, the cost of the KBOX was just a fraction compared to what
we spent on Altiris.”
KACE helps customers save
time and money. Systems managers are often forced to wear many hats
throughout the day to work on a myriad of IT functions. KACE
consolidates these functions by providing a single appliance for all
projects, while delivering easy-to-use, comprehensive systems management
that is affordable. The KBOX family of appliances fulfills all of the
systems management needs of a medium enterprise from initial computer
deployment to ongoing management and retirement.
