It's for full-on asset management. You can do hardware and software recognition.
It is stable and scalable.
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.
I have about 20 years of experience working with Micro Focus Asset Manager.
There are issues with their support, and their support could be better.
I have been using FlexNet Manager for the last two years. I would recommend FlexNet every single time. While Micro Focus is a clever tool and can become cleverer, it has no source of data of its own. It has to be fed by other data sources.
I'm also using Snow License Manager at this time. I have used it in my current role for 15 months, and I have also used it for about 15 months in a previous role.
From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive.
I would advise thinking hard about it because it's a very complex tool. It takes a lot of work to keep it, and there are a lot of other elements that have to work with it. It is a very hands-on tool.
I would rate it a six out of 10.
