KACE Unified Endpoint Manager

Unified endpoint management (UEM) is a necessity when challenged by the growing number of device types, evolving security concerns and various compliance requirements. Companies without flexible endpoint management software to discover, enroll, manage and secure devices using traditional and modern methods may find out they are vulnerable after it’s too late.

Unsure what endpoint management solution is right for you? Use our KACE Solution Designer tool (on the right) to quickly and easily find the right fit within your existing environment.

Imaging

KACE UEM gives you the flexibility to use modern enrollment (see tab above) or traditional imaging/reimaging using the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance (SDA).

Simplify Windows, Linux and Mac disk imaging and image deployment in your classrooms, labs and remote locations. Eliminate manual processes for building and maintaining gold master images for multi-platform OS imaging and deployments, saving you time for more strategic IT projects at your school district, university system or individual college campus.

Make automated image deployment, storage and management easier with access to a centralized deployment library — the repository of all system and software deployment assets, such as images, scripted installations, drivers, applications and scripts. Enhance provisioning consistency and reliability by ensuring the correct image or setup is always deployed to the appropriate system. All images are captured and stored to give you an accurate, comprehensive view.

Enrollment

Eliminate the need for manual device enrollment with pre-configured, fully managed devices out of the box, empowering fellow colleagues to be productive from day one. Extend your level of device management with additional support for macOS and Windows 10/11 enrollment with integration into your existing Windows Autopilot and Apple Business Manager environments.

Support BYOD with a separate space for company applications and settings to reside on personal devices.

Security

Every device hitting your network is a cyberattack and ransomware vector. Block dangerous or unnecessary software and devices and painlessly patch mission-critical applications and operating systems. Ensure secure deployments — inside or outside your DMZ — with user interface hardening and agent tunneling and quarantine. Automate vulnerability assessment and prevent devices from walking with built-in lifecycle asset management. If a device is lost or stolen, instantly wipe, lock or factory reset it with a few keystrokes. KACE Cloud and SMA components enable you to automate device policy compliance and software compliance.

Patching

The KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA) component of KACE UEM includes robust patch management software to ensure robust endpoint security for all devices. Automate software patch management and deploy patches from one of the largest patch libraries in the industry. Achieve peace of mind by patching and updating your Windows, Linux and Mac platforms and potentially vulnerable third-party applications such as Microsoft Office, Zoom, Adobe Reader, and many more. Serving as a single source for software patch management, the KACE SMA patch management software helps reduce the complexity of your IT infrastructure because you don’t have to maintain multiple patching solutions. With the vulnerability scanning tool in KACE SMA, periodic vulnerability scans and patch assessments help you identify devices where patch management isn’t working, or other vulnerabilities exist, so you can address those concerns and correct the problem in real-time.

The KACE SMA patch management software automatically sends out patch updates, but the solution optionally gives end users some control over the process. You can set deadlines that define when a patch must be installed, and users can choose when their patch updates and system reboot happen so that work is not disrupted. Administrators also have good experience coordinating patch updates across complex and distributed user bases while maintaining visibility into the patching phases on a per-machine basis.

Asset Management

The Systems Management Appliance (SMA) component of KACE UEM provides you with an inventory, IT asset and IoT device management platform that keeps you on top of all the hardware and software installed across your network, from computers and servers to mobile devices, routers, printers and an ever-growing and diverse array of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The KACE Cloud and KACE SMA components discover all hardware and software accessing your network and provide you with ongoing IT inventory management, IT asset management (ITAM), software asset management (SAM), and Internet of Things (IoT) device management with robust reporting and alerting for most platforms. Whether running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX, Chrome, iOS or Android, the KACE SMA provides detailed oversight of devices from a single console.

Modern Management is the process of implementing strategies to discover, manage and secure endpoint devices that are outside the traditional network perimeters. Watch this video to understand how the device management landscape is changing and the steps you can take to manage and secure your company data and resources.
