Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Program Assistant & Data Analyst at a manufacturing company with 1-10 employees
Centralized SaaS oversight has reduced redundant applications and simplified license management
The best features Zylo offers include the new MCP server and the AI feature, which makes managing over 500 applications much easier, especially if there are 1500 to 1600 applications with its help in identifying redundancy. The AI feature, referred to as Clarity in Zylo, helps by allowing me to inquire about any redundant applications, specifically within the 500 applications I manage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Audit readiness and 100% users and usage calculation helped the organization to save money."
"Flexera One helps us maintain a clear picture of our finances, showing what software we have purchased this year and what we should purchase next year."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The best feature of Flexera One is the latest feature about AI, which really impresses me because I can log into the Flexera One portal, click on the AI, and ask it questions."
"Flexera One helps us gain more customers because we are able to look after customer assets, which is really good."
"The best features Zylo offers include the new MCP server and the AI feature, which makes managing over 500 applications much easier, especially if there are 1500 to 1600 applications with its help in identifying redundancy."
 

Cons

"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"Flexera One is an amazing tool, but I feel the UI could have some more upgrades and look a bit more modern with all these applications coming up."
"The customer support is fairly decent; it could be better in terms of the quality of answers provided."
"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."
"Regarding the price, I feel the price is a bit high."
"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."
"The AI feature is not changing anything significant. For instance, it cannot update fields automatically, which means I still have to do it manually, but overall, that is my only concern."
 

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."
