"Effective Tool for License Compliance and Optimization"
5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

Flexera has really simplified how we manage our IT assets. The visibility it provides into license usage and compliance is a big plus, and it has already helped us optimize costs. The integrations with other systems are smooth, and the dashboards make it easier to track what matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

At times, it feels like there are too many features to figure out, and the UI could be a bit more intuitive. There is a slight learning curve in the beginning, but once you get used to it, navigation feels much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexera One Review - New great features"
4/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

Real-time inventory updates through the SaaS connectors are a major advantage for us. Along with the bulk data import features for transactions, it helps streamline our processes and saves us a lot of effort, especially when we’re handling high volumes of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

Flexera One is strong overall, but I find the updated UI and UX less intuitive than the previous version. The new sidebar, in particular, makes navigation feel slower, and I have to put in more effort to find key information.

Functionally, the AI feature that imports PDFs to pre-fill contracts is a great addition. That said, extending this capability to handle more complex purchase orders and multi-line quotes would be a huge time-saver. Lastly, expanding the Microsoft 365 connector’s capabilities to deliver deeper insights would add significant value as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexera One Streamlines ITAM, FinOps, and SaaS Management in One Platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

Flexera One is an integrated SaaS platform that helps organizations optimize the management of IT assets, FinOps, and SaaS applications. It supports efforts to reduce capital leakage by identifying and addressing underutilized IT assets.

Key advantages include ITAM (IT Asset Management), which enables tracking of hardware, software, and licensing. Its FinOps capabilities help manage and forecast spending across multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. In addition, its SaaS Management features help detect shadow IT and improve visibility into SaaS usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

Getting started requires a solid understanding of both the tool itself and the organization’s software environment, which can make onboarding challenging—especially for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Cloud Cost Management with Flexera One"
5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

I appreciate Flexera One for its robust features that allow us to drill down on costs effectively, making cloud costs transparent which enables us to extend accountability to all our cloud teams. The exports are incredibly helpful, providing cloud cost and usage details across 10 dimensions. I particularly like how you can use the dashboard to pinpoint issues quickly, like when we identified inflated costs with Microsoft today with a color-coded view in the dashboard. The transition from CloudHealth to Flexera One was seamless, and once certain features were enabled, everything worked like a charm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

Well, the Azure shared cost, unfortunately, due to the volume at our company, does not provide daily granularity, and has only a limited number of dimensions capable of being enabled. Consequently we have no view of RI/SP savings for Azure Shared Costs because Purchase Option is not one of the dimensions capable of being enabled. So, ideally, we'd want to have more dimensions enabled in shared cost and daily granularity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Easy Cloud Cost Reporting Across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud"
5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

Flexera's cloud cost optimization tool is heavily used for our monthly and quarterly billing reports. We use AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and tracking internal projects vs customer based projects is very important to our team. Flexera's ever expanding tabular view and cost explorer tools are very quick and easy to breakdown all the details we need to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

There's is some transitioning over from the previous tool we used called Cloudcheckr. There hasn't been any surprises but like anything in life there are times when I'd prefer for certain cloud inventory features to be integrated sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Visibility and Powerful Automation in Flexera One"
5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

The best feature of Flexera One is the centralized visibility of software and cloud assets in a single platform. It facilitates license management, identifies cost optimization opportunities, and monitors compliance, allowing for more assertive decisions based on reliable data. Additionally, its automation capabilities reduce operational effort and increase the efficiency of Software Asset Management (SAM) processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

Although Flexera One is a powerful platform, some features have a steep learning curve, especially for new users. Additionally, navigation and the generation of certain reports could be more intuitive, reducing the time needed to find specific information. In some scenarios, the configuration and maintenance of integrations may also require additional effort to ensure data quality and process efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies Software Asset Management and License Compliance"
5/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

What stands out most about Flexera One is its single-pane-of-glass visibility across complex IT environments. Having software asset management (SAM) and cloud cost management combined into one platform makes tracking software compliance and managing license consumption so much easier. The automated inventory discovery and depth of normalized data really help take the guesswork out of audit preparation and cut down on waste across hybrid IT environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

Flexera One is a powerful IT asset management tool, but it has a learning curve for new users. Some reports and dashboards can be confusing at first, and data synchronization with connected systems may occasionally take time. The interface could also be more intuitive, and troubleshooting inventory or licensing issues sometimes requires technical expertise. Overall, it's a good platform, but there is room for improvement in usability and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Dashboards, Needs UI Improvement"
2/5
What do you like best about Flexera One?

I appreciate working with the helpful team at Flexera One, as the account team is responsive when I have questions. The product allows for customization in dashboard layouts and offers a variety of widget options, which is helpful. The multicloud dashboards are nice and bring all of the client's cloud spend into one dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flexera One?

I find the platform too reliant on policies because important features don't exist in the UI yet. Custom reporting often requires creating custom policies, and many policies like wasted infrastructure and anomaly alerts are handled through policies too. Reports are limited to a set number of dimensions, so querying additional columns from cloud provider billing exports is not possible. Resource reporting is restricted to a 30-day window, making it tough to look at resource level data, and savings reporting isn't tied to resource ID data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
