Dell KACE Honored as a Visionary by Gartner!
Last week Dell KACE was positioned as a ‘Visionary’ in Gartner’s Client Management Tools Magic Quadrant. KACE has consistently been placed in the visionary quadrant for the past three years and we’re thrilled to be recognized among other systems management vendors such as Microsoft SCCM, LANDesk and Altiris.
Analyst Terry Cosgrove praised KACE’s appliance-based solutions for its affordability and ease deployment along with our user interface that makes OS deployments intuitive. He also highlighted KACE’s rapidly-growing business as evidenced by our 5,000 plus strong customer base. His recognition of our fundamental design principles is noteworthy – KACE’s success has always been grounded in making the challenging simple, so that IT managers can spend less time on systems management and more time on strategic initiatives.
Gartner stresses that Microsoft Windows 7 is giving users an opportunity to re-evaluate their PC management systems and is one reason driving many organizations to switch products. Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the second major driver with between 50 and 75 percent of desktop groups receiving requests to support Apple iPads. Cosgrove also estimates that between 50 and 60 percent or organizations are going to support mobile devices in the desktop group.
We believe that Dell KACE is well positioned to extend our comprehensive, cost-effective appliance-based approach to managing desktops, laptops and servers to offer our customers the ability to respond to changing needs within their organization. As our roadmap rolls forward, and KACE provides new, innovative, and intuitive solutions to all the new challenges created by MDM and BYOD, we look forward to taking an even stronger position in the market and securing even greater industry recognition by Gartner and others.
