Integrates well, highly stable, and scalable
CA Asset Portfolio Management can improve the uploading of batch information. I have to upload large amounts of information and it can take a long time to finish. There are some other solutions that are better, such as Micro Focus. We have approximately 10,000 PCs that we are busy processing and we have to upload information to them but when we use this solution it is complex. When we use Micro Focus it is better.

Tickets are managed efficiently across departments, ensuring continuous network monitoring
I predominantly use ManageEngine OpManager for network monitoring. Starting from my switches, firewalls, routers, and so on, the main use case is to ensure continuous monitoring of network devices. It provides unified console access, offering live performance metrics and granular details, including…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Enables me to know where an asset is at any point during its lifecycle: How old it is, who it belongs to, and where it's at within that lifecycle."
"You could also look for software that is no longer being used and you can re-deploy the software, so then you save from a purchasing standpoint because you don't have to buy the software again."
"The most valuable feature of CA Asset Portfolio Management is the full integration with our Service Desk. It allows us to work both sides of life cycle management."
"Reduces software cost. Reduces the risk of software audits."
"They're staying up to date as vendors make changes to how they want to manage the software. CA is usually really quick about getting those updates in the system."
"Being able to determine the licensing position for existing vendors and future vendors. Also, visibility into our environment,"
"Also, the software you have, you can monitor for end of life. If you have software that is end of life, then you can have it uninstalled and buy the new software, so you can make sure that you're not running into vulnerabilities with unsupported software in your environment."
"It's easy to integrate with our system information."
"This is a very stable solution."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
"The technical support is great."
"ManageEngine IT Asset Management helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing."
"We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements."
"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see more mobile. I'd like to have it actually manage mobile devices. It really doesn't, and I'd like to have a mobile application just for asset management."
"The UI, even though they upgraded the UI, it's still kind of dated, it's a little bit convoluted to use. It's not like something that you can sit down and automatically understand how to use it."
"CA Asset Portfolio Management can improve the uploading of batch information. I have to upload large amounts of information and it can take a long time to finish. There are some other solutions that are better, such as Micro Focus."
"I'd like to see end-of-life information on software products."
"It needs ​stronger rebooting components and the ability to develop our own software metrics."
"There were a lot of things that we had to prepare for that we weren't thinking about with this installation. I think from a CA standpoint, the software was good. But us preparing for that, we had a lot more work to do."
"I would like to see more control over audit trail features, where you can turn on and off fields."
"Needs a stronger reporting component, and more integration with CA Client Automation."
"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."
"The asset management tool is costly."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
