Enterprise systems management team lead

Integrates well, highly stable, and scalable

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.

Software Asset Manager Lead at Boeing at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

A stable and clever solution, but it is very complex and it needs a lot of improvements

There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas. It needs a discovery tool of its own. You have to get that from other Micro Focus products, which means you have to pay more to get those products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's easy to integrate with our system information."

"They're staying up to date as vendors make changes to how they want to manage the software. CA is usually really quick about getting those updates in the system."

"Being able to determine the licensing position for existing vendors and future vendors. Also, visibility into our environment,"

"You could also look for software that is no longer being used and you can re-deploy the software, so then you save from a purchasing standpoint because you don't have to buy the software again."

"Also, the software you have, you can monitor for end of life. If you have software that is end of life, then you can have it uninstalled and buy the new software, so you can make sure that you're not running into vulnerabilities with unsupported software in your environment."

"The most valuable feature of CA Asset Portfolio Management is the full integration with our Service Desk. It allows us to work both sides of life cycle management."

"Enables me to know where an asset is at any point during its lifecycle: How old it is, who it belongs to, and where it's at within that lifecycle."

"You build the items one time and then you have your discovery that's coming in and the system will let you know whether or not you're out of compliance."

More CA Asset Portfolio Management pros

"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."

"It is stable and scalable."

"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."

Cons

"There were a lot of things that we had to prepare for that we weren't thinking about with this installation. I think from a CA standpoint, the software was good. But us preparing for that, we had a lot more work to do."

"Keeping the catalog updated and having more titles in the catalog is helpful, because the more items that are in the catalog, your process goes faster because you don't have to manually build all the entitlements."

"I would like to see more control over audit trail features, where you can turn on and off fields."

"I'd like to see end-of-life information on software products."

"CA SAM is not a CA product. The vendor is Aspera and CA is the distributor, so support is difficult. It's more difficult to get a good response."

"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."

"It needs stronger rebooting components and the ability to develop our own software metrics."

"Needs a stronger reporting component, and more integration with CA Client Automation."

More CA Asset Portfolio Management cons

"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."

"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."

"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
