Introduction
Traditional software-based systems management solutions exist, but in some cases have exacerbated the systems management dilemma for the medium enterprise, due to their singular focus on the enterprise-scale customer. While robust, they have been designed for the largest organizations, and the investment necessary in pre-requisite software, hardware, services, maintenance and training have simply proven too costly and too complex for many resource-strapped organizations. This has left the medium enterprise to manage with overly sophisticated software, sub-optimal point solutions or manual processes.
Medium enterprises continue to struggle in their efforts to find and deploy an effective systems management solution scaled to their needs. In the solution evaluation process, there are both feature/function criteria as well as less tangible solution characteristics that need to be weighed in order to make an informed and appropriately calibrated decision. KACE has developed this guide to help articulate that buyer’s criteria via a comprehensive feature/function checklist, and to pose additional considerations that should be made when making a decision regarding a systems management solution.
