About KACE
KACE runs a high-cadence maintenance rhythm — patch currency and agent fixes over new direction.
KACE is endpoint and device management (cloud UEM plus the on-prem SMA appliance). Its changelog reads as a maintenance operation: monthly Microsoft Patch Tuesday catalog updates, new publisher/product patch coverage, point releases of the iOS and Android Connect apps fixing location and Wi-Fi issues, and a security-driven SMA patch. The June 2026 Cloud release adds the few genuine features — payload caching, Windows device verification, grid improvements, and custom inventory reporting.
