Reporting capabilities improve compliance and flexibility exceeds expectations

The mainframe need improvement. Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage. Several people have suggested it as an improvement. One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place. If not, it is what it is.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend it highly."

"The best thing about FlexNet Manager for my clients is its strong grip on managing licenses and ensuring they stick to their contracts."

"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."

"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."

"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."

"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."

"It is a stable solution."

"It is a scalable product."

Cons

"The mainframe need improvement."

"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."

"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."

"While it shows various configurations regarding where my server and VM are placed, it does not indicate how many licenses are needed or how the calculations are performed."

"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."

"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."

"The product’s stability needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."

"The product has reasonable pricing."
