Systems Management

Similar to another post, but we are NOT interested in SCCM.

I am interested in feedback from anyone who has made the jump from Zenworks 7 or ZCM 10 to the Kace solutions. We currently use imaging with add-on's, remote control, inventory, app deployment, patch mgmt, and plan to use ZAV and Enpoint Security within a year or so. Bandwith throttling is also a must as we have some slow WAN links. There is just 1.5 of me for managing about 800 pcs, 300 laptops, and 100 kiosks and about 50 applications + 7 locations.

Our concerns are that while our systems have pretty much been bulletproof and stable beyond belief, we need to rollout Windows 7 and Zenworks 7 doesn't support it. While we love ZENworks, it seems Novell still has no idea how to sell anything and their forums have fewer and fewer users on them. I have heard good things about Kace and was just wondering if there were any folks who have in-depth experience with both that wouldn't mind sharing their take on the 2 products.

Thanks,
