Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement
We use the product for asset management The product’s stability needs improvement. We have been using Micro Focus ZENworks Asset Management for two years. I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It could be better.  Our organization has around 50-100 Micro Focus ZENworks Asset…

Offers comprehensive reporting and utilization analysis but pricing remains a concern
The tool has relatively all basic and intermediate capabilities to meet our requirement. The price is a little bit on the higher side than other tools available in the market, except ServiceNow. ServiceNow is pretty expensive, but Snow License Manager is much more cost-effective than ServiceNow. In comparison to other software management tools, Snow License Manager is a bit on the higher side in terms of cost. In terms of capability and ease of use, it's good. We have all types of connectors in Snow License Manager, enabling effective data collection from various sources and reconciling them. Additionally, they have a very comprehensive software recognition library, which consists of a broad list of software signatures. This allows for proper identification of the software installed in the system, particularly within a hybrid environment containing on-prem, cloud, and different types of SaaS software, all of which are supported by their connectors to provide a one-stop shop report for all data sources. We haven't used the automated license tracking feature of Snow License Manager. They have some automation and orchestration functions, but our organization does not utilize them. The utilization analysis tool is effective. The Snow cloud-based functionality is pretty comprehensive for our organization, as Snow License Manager, with its connectors, is capable of providing all the required information, including when the last time a user logged in occurred. This information allows for effective license re-harvesting, along with other necessary functionalities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The discovery is excellent. It is agent-based, and it can also operate without one as long as there is an inventory source, such as SCCM. It may take data from the SCCM and normalize it to provide a very clear idea of what the hardware is, what software is running on it, what versions of that software are available, when is the end-of-life, and when they are no longer supported. All of that information is available."
"The reporting tools of Snow License Manager helped me generate insights into software deployment and usage patterns, particularly for SaaS-based subscriptions, during renewal periods to decide whether to purchase more subscriptions or reduce them, allowing investment of saved funds into other tools."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The support is an area that can be improved. As resellers, we are doing the first-level support because we have trained certified engineers, and we provide support. Because we are in India and they do not have a support center in India, the turnaround time for tickets could be improved. We have to rely on Australia for support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"I would rate the pricing a seven or eight out of ten. It is not a cheap solution, but it provides good value for money."
"I rate the product price as a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
