Software Version Reporting - Maintain a list of "Most Current Published Version" software titles
Currently, maintaining software and patching on machines with software which automatically updates itself is rather difficult, because of the way KACE addresses software versions. I'm finding that if a software package undergoes a major build number change, and the new build number doesn't match a managed install, KACE will overwrite the automatically updated version of the software package with its older version.
It would be absolutely lovely if KACE was able to maintain an ordered listing of the most current version of a given software title within its inventory the way it monitors patch versions etc, so we could label something as "has software title X" and "software title X's version is < current published version".

Having to deal with constant vendors upgrading their applications that not only provide a safe working environment, but also keeping up with the end user demands for having the upgraded features of those applications, this would be a much needed and applicable to getting the most out of our K1000 SMA.
