Enterprise systems management team lead

CA Asset Portfolio Management can improve the uploading of batch information. I have to upload large amounts of information and it can take a long time to finish. There are some other solutions that are better, such as Micro Focus. We have approximately 10,000 PCs that we are busy processing and we have to upload information to them but when we use this solution it is complex. When we use Micro Focus it is better.

In terms of criteria when selecting a vendor, I would say it's the reputation, but it's also about the technology. I don't want to go to a some company that says, "Yeah, we've been here for a hundred years," but their technology is stale. We'd like to stay on the cutting edge and get really nice technology, and from a good company. I would rate it a seven out of 10. Does it have its flaws? Yes. The UI, even though they upgraded the UI, it's still kind of dated, it's a little bit convoluted to use. It's not like something that you can sit down and automatically understand how to use it. But the ability in it is really nice. It's a really powerful tool, and once you learn how to use it, it's really something that's worth learning how to use.

Room for Improvement
