What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

The diverse feature ensures that almost any company will be able to align their process with the tool workflow. Also, there is a regular release roadmap ensuring that the application is up-to-date with latest industry trends. Companies who are new in asset management can get a quick start with this tool and the consultants I have worked with are knowledgeable and can support from scratch to a stable environment.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

There is minimal documentation for step-by-step installation, configuration or up-gradation. Missing sensitivity to customer IPCC process. Corresponding to monitoring, the newly introduced dashboard has a lot of bugs and needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexera (FlexNet) Users Review"
4/5
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

I love that FlexNet has the look and feel of a Microsoft product, it makes navigation feel intuitive and when you are new to using it. I also like the separation of the management and analytics dashboards, it helps to keep the interface from looking cluttered and offers a clear separation between data and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Unfortunately, FlexNet does not provide the robust SKU library that would take this product to the next level. The Application Recognition Library (ARL) is very comprehensive, but it is lacking the associated SKUs, which they do not share with you or allow you to search. This makes processing a purchase very tedious - a problem that FlexNet is supposed to be a solution to. Oftentimes there is also issues with the ARL having incorrect data, such as incorrect product use rights. - Updating 11/2019 to say that we have seen a great deal of improvement in the PURL and that their support team has been excellent in solving cases in a timely manner.

"FlexNet Manager "
4.5/5
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

FlexNet Manager is very user friendly compare to other competitors like SNOW License manager. I working both Flexera and SNOW License Manager. I want to share major two advantages.

1) Agent installation: while agent installation we facing Mem and CPU utilization very high in SNOW License manager but in FlexNet it's very less. I implemented FNMS four organizations still now never seen any issues related Mem and CPU consumption. This feature is best in Flexera why because this is basic requirement for Flexera Administration who deploy and manage FNMS. We encourage many customers to FlexNet Manager for license complains. And Optimization based on this Mem and CPU high Utilization in SNOW License Manager.

2) Contract, PO, License : in SNOW License Manager we can't able to create PO, Contract and License separate. Agreement and License only have two options. FlexNet Manager we can create Contract, PO, License separate and we are able to triggers the mail alerts to SAM Managers for going to expire contracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

Though it compiles a very good data on the licensing activities within EDA environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Performance and reliability is always been a area of the improvement .

Several time it has been noticed that support is not up to the exceptions.

Lack in big data analysis which is must in the EDA industries as the data being used here is directly proportional to the money as company spent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FlexNet Manager... lots of information at your fingertips"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

I started with using Excel sheets to track licenses, and that quickly got out of hand. This tool allows me to monitor software installs that I didn't know about and track usage for licenses that I am tracking closely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

It's only as good as the data that is being entered. There is a lot of "supervision" of the data to ensure accuracy. But that can't really be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
