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

"I'd like to see end-of-life information on software products."
"It needs stronger rebooting components and the ability to develop our own software metrics."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more control over audit trail features, where you can turn on and off fields."
