Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"Symantec Asset Management Suite has better features than some of its competitors, such as the Microsoft Configuration Manager."

Cons
"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.""The dashboards provided by the solution have certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."

More Snow License Manager Cons →

"The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations."

  • "I rate the product price as a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
