Centralized asset data has transformed how we manage licenses and make cost-saving decisions
One problem that we faced using Spot by Flexera is that in certain servers, the data was not being updated correctly, and we had a certain delay. For example, someone was using a computer, and then this user received a new one. In Spot by Flexera, we could see both computers, the old and the new one, but the system was not recognizing that the old one was no longer being used. We had a couple of IT assets that were not being used, and we had this information in our internal servers, but Spot by Flexera was not able to update on time. We had to fix this information manually.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Codar is the ability to provide us with faster application releases."
"The solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow."
"The solution offers both block access and file access, making it a nice solution for customers."
"Cost saving is the main benefit, and the manual effort required for reviewing and purchasing savings plans and other RIs is something we do not have to manage manually now, as we get automatic suggestions from Spot."
"By using Spot by Flexera across a year, we were able to save more than 500,000 euros."
"<p>Spot has positively impacted our organization by automating cloud resource management, which has significantly cut costs and improved efficiency.</p>"
"My compute costs have reduced, capacity and production output have increased, and my overhead for maintaining custom scripts or doing some of the tasks manually has been saved."
 

Cons

"Codar works well enough, but it's highly complex in setting up correctly."
"The solution doesn't have support from OCI, and it should start working to onboard OCI."
"I have not seen a return on investment yet."
"One problem that we faced using Spot by Flexera is that in certain servers, the data was not being updated correctly, and we had a certain delay."
"I chose a rating of nine because it may sometimes be a bit overwhelming for newcomers, and there are also a few areas in which the EKS Kubernetes level granularity is a little missing."
"There are no particular areas for improvement I can identify."
