Pros
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends.""The best thing about FlexNet Manager for my clients is its strong grip on managing licenses and ensuring they stick to their contracts.""I like the way it does its compliance.

Cons
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents.""They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it.""There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014.""The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

More FlexNet Manager Cons →

"The asset management tool is costly.""The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit.""The engineering area needs improvement."
