"A great tool."
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

Product normalization and discovery. Often times, the data we pull from our environment is impossible to process in its state. The normalization makes it much easier to analyze what we have in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Lack of access to our own data after moving to the cloud. We had solutions that pulled data from our on prem database. There is currently no way to do this in the cloud since we can no longer access our database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease of data"
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

I love the fact we can pull data by last source inventory or OS. It helps with focusing in on areas that we need to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

I am not fond of the fact we can't determine from the last inventory source the version of agent. We are in the process of going from 32 bit to 64 bit via v 14 (MAC no longer allow 32 bit software). We are trying to make sure the data is being pulled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has main features included, such as device inventory, license inventory and management dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

ARL updates is lacking

There's no major minor version for software like Java

There's no easy way to bulk search via device to display software inventory

Reconciliation is a major setback.

It's still not the single source of truth from software inventory point of view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexnet Review"
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

Core functionality. I use it to manage contracts, track purchases, and to manage licensing. The core functionality has a good foundation to it and integrates well with other components within the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Missing attributes in column choosers for different views. When users leave the company, their information is removed from ownership in historical purchase data. I've had mixed results with building custom reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
