AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.

- Reviewers mention that USU shines in quality of support, scoring 8.7 compared to FlexNet's 7.2. Users on G2 appreciate USU's responsive customer service and comprehensive knowledge base, which they find helpful for troubleshooting and guidance.
- G2 users highlight that FlexNet Manager has a robust central dashboard with a score of 8.7, allowing for effective asset policy management. In contrast, USU's dashboard functionality is rated slightly lower, which some users feel limits their ability to visualize data effectively.
- Users say that USU's automated end-user license provisioning feature, rated at 8.2, is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to streamline their software deployment processes. FlexNet Manager, while strong in license entitlement management, does not have the same level of automation, which some users find cumbersome.

However, USU's shadow IT detection feature, rated at 8.6, is noted as a critical tool for identifying unauthorized software usage.
