What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Its interface has an impractical design and somewhat cumbersome to understand, so navigation turns out to be somewhat bumpy, not to mention that the performance is somewhat poor, since in many cases the system becomes slow for no reason or reason Apparent that can justify this reality, in addition, acquiring additional functions can be quite an expensive task to perform.

"FNMS - Great Value and Valuable Information"
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

When implemented with the FNMS Agent, the level of information that the system has access to really allows for some deep analysis.

With a wide array of reporting out of the box, along with the ability to filter and customise views of the data is a fantastic feature.

As we are using the cloud managed version. As such, the absence of any need to supply resources (both human and harware) to maintain the supporting infrastructure is of great benefit. We anticipate that the savings from the analysis of license spend will cover the cost of FNSM for our organisation over the next 3 years.

The integration points - both SCCM and ServiceNow - are of great benefit to our organisation. This allows us to gather both software, laptop, desktop and Server hardware information from a single source for IT Service Management (ITSM) purposes and utilise it to improve customer experience and change control.

We feel the tool will be a core element in our ITSM managment strategy for the forseeable future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

The setup and distribution of the agent across a large organisation with multiple platforms can be a challenge. Planning and proper project controls, along with technical expertise is essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
