Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Pros

"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"You simply cannot use Google Apps without it, so it's a no brainer."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."
"Flexera One helps us maintain a clear picture of our finances, showing what software we have purchased this year and what we should purchase next year."
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool, as the more that had to get cleaned up or adjusted, the percentages could certainly even increase more."
"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."
 

Cons

"The account support team was weak in engagement and communication, contributing to the decision to move to more comprehensive solutions."
"Would love for it to be able to replace our SSO as well as provide connectivity and the same level of automation to our other SaaS products."
"Sun Solaris server discovery needs to be improved. Apple Mac OS was not supported fully."
"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The customer support is fairly decent; it could be better in terms of the quality of answers provided."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."
"Flexera One is an amazing tool, but I feel the UI could have some more upgrades and look a bit more modern with all these applications coming up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
