"Effective and user-friendly"
5/5
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

Straight forward interface. The interfacing is very user-friendly. It is also recognized by various big software publishers and this would definitely be the solution that is able to ensure those software publishers licenses are managed in an effective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

There are still some bugs and does not address issues in very details. They could have a more descriptive listing on which software publishers's software it could or couldn't support. This is quite ambigous as stating the software publisher's brand alone may not be sufficient for us to be fully aware of the other software under this publisher.

"A great tool."
4/5
What do you like best about FlexNet Manager?

Product normalization and discovery. Often times, the data we pull from our environment is impossible to process in its state. The normalization makes it much easier to analyze what we have in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

Lack of access to our own data after moving to the cloud. We had solutions that pulled data from our on prem database. There is currently no way to do this in the cloud since we can no longer access our database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love the fact we can pull data by last source inventory or OS. It helps with focusing in on areas that we need to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexNet Manager?

I am not fond of the fact we can't determine from the last inventory source the version of agent. We are in the process of going from 32 bit to 64 bit via v 14 (MAC no longer allow 32 bit software). We are trying to make sure the data is being pulled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
