Data Platform Overview

What is Data Platform?

Poor CMDB data quality leads to poor decisions. When the information you have about your hardware and software is inconsistent, incomplete, inaccurate, sprawling and outdated, stakeholders across the organization will have different views of the technology landscape they have to manage, protect and audit -- organizational efficiency and performance suffer. This is where Flexera’s Data Platform delivers. It combines the power of our technology and our unique content team to aggregate and reconcile data from multiple sources, including discovery solutions, client management solutions and procurement systems. It maps raw data from various sources to a common identity using Technopedia® – the most trusted and comprehensive hardware and software asset information source. It further enriches this normalized data with additional market intelligence—elusive information only available after scouring the internet to find end-of-life information and dates, Windows 10 compatibility checks, software vulnerabilities and detailed hardware specifications not captured by any discovery tools. You’re provided clean, accurate and complete data for your enterprise architecture and technology initiatives

What do you like best about Data Platform?

Simple to use gui, capability to ingest data from multiple discovery tools and then deduce as well as normalise data for use in report and dashboard production. It's very nice device to use. Comprehension is very simple and preloaded reports are a great idea. Even having several reports already preloaded makes it easy for the consumer to find what they are searching for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Data Platform?

There is no large amount of documentation available for the tool. Especially when troubleshooting is needed. Wish there was enough time in the day to go into all the data platform insights can bring, also the mapping is not 100% of succesful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Data Platform:

You should ensure that you have a well educated staff to support DP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Constant market shifts in particular with product acquisitions and types of software licences. Discover what tech is for support with product currency in our world.

What do you like best about Data Platform?

I love how easy it is to integrate their data into our Technology Reference model framework.

It saves us hours of research on the technology lifecycle and health information that influences reporting. The taxonomy attached to Technopedia is robust enough to allow users to sift through the catalog with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Data Platform?

The time it takes to get gap-fill requests completed and then visible is a little lengthy. There also aren't very many of our industry-specific technologies/apps listed (i.e. AASHTOWare). If there were a way to incorporate these in the global service offering for this industry it would save users the trouble of traversings the tech vendors' sites and manually massaging that data to fit in our catalogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Data Platform:

Ensure you have dedicated staff to support DP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We utilized DP to establish a remediation cadence for our technology stack. the data provided helps us better prioritize and ensures that security concerns are also taken into account. The timely refreshes ensure that we have a more relevant picture to show management. We are currently working to work in the security service pack to report on vulnerabilities that lie across the enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
