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.""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.""Reduces software cost. Reduces the risk of software audits.""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.""Being able to determine the licensing position for existing vendors and future vendors. Also, visibility into our environment,""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.""My organization now understands what type of products they have: warranties, how long the warranties last, depreciation. We never really knew what our depreciation values were, so it was really nice to have that on hand as well. It gives us a better view of our hardware, which is really beneficial."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster.""It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners.""The product has the best features for ITSM.""The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."

Cons
"Needs a stronger reporting component, and more integration with CA Client Automation.""I'd like to see more mobile. I'd like to have it actually manage mobile devices. It really doesn't, and I'd like to have a mobile application just for asset management.""I would like to see more control over audit trail features, where you can turn on and off fields.""It needs ​stronger rebooting components and the ability to develop our own software metrics.""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.""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.""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.""I'd like to see end-of-life information on software products."

"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now.""Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI.""SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved.""There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
