Great Capabilities for Software Asset Management
Nothing much for now. The product is improving every release.
Software Asset Management for the enterprise
Easy but getting the applications working in Automation platform as wanted requires a lot of fine tuning
Snow Inventory discovers all assets including hardware configuration, software deployments and usage.
Snow License Manager is designed to reduce the risk , cost and complexity associated with software assets and licensing
the replication of the cmdb into our tableu
nothing so far I saw was not useful, is good overall
large data replication into our reporting database
We like the integration capabilities and the value we get out of automation.
One thing that I would like to see some improvement on is when implemented on an existing cmdb, it gets complicated with reconciliation and some issues with performance.
ITAM, automation, software self service, onboarding
Software Asset Management (SAM) is crucial for our organization since we handle many software acquisitions for internal and external users. Since most software comes with licensing, we use the Snow Commander console to optimize our consumption cost from its contextual & precise insights.
In our hybrid cloud infrastructure, clarity on resource usage and expenses are obtained as periodic reports from its dashboard. This helps us regulate our budget allocations and forecast our cloud costs for the upcoming quarter.
Snow Commander enables end-to-end automation with which we cut down our manual processing & efforts. Based on our policy governance, its Snow Engine process our expenditures across our multiple cloud accounts.
We have recently received approval from our client and started to work on Snow Commander, so we are taking time to explore its functionalities. We haven't had any bad experiences working on its platform. It ensures the allocation of specific software assets for any resource hosted in the cloud & helps understand its expenditures.
Snow Commander is a fully-automated platform suitable for our hybrid cloud resource management. It prevents all manual approval staging through its automation features & significantly minimizes provisioning duration.
It follows agentless discovery architecture, with no need to install any third-party tools to gain visibility about our cloud resources. Each resource is tagged with our custom definitions, making tracking its performance and expenses straightforward.
SAM inventory & asset invoice processing for each cloud account can be streamlined based on our client requirements. Analyzing their insight reports helps us to effectively decommission unused software assets deployed in our hybrid cloud infrastructure.
It's great provides me with an interface to manage diversity of software providers. In addition to presenting great flexibility in the software, it gives me the power to direct license information. It facilitates excellent monitoring and alerting when the license and contract expires. It should be noted, i can inquire if a software has been used and verify for the utilization review.
It would be ideal to improve the search generator, which presents data problems. It is a bit difficult for me, because I have had to perform manual configurations so that I can operate correctly, it would be good to be able to adjust this function and have good results and make job performance easier in my organization.
It is ideal because it provides the different departments of the company to obtain accurate and necessary information, at the time of making appropriate decisions. You can also count on a solid contract management. Extraordinary tool which is designed with an integrated automation, because it makes it easier for the organization to save on labor costs and professional services.
This platform gives us great performance in our company, because it is a library that is continuously updated with software knowledge firms. In the same way we can say that it gives us a great, broad and efficient benefit and discover unknown or new applications. It is excellent for our company which has allowed us to strengthen and set goals, as well as develop progressively. It is great and innovative.
To get an insight of the use of our applications within the organization. When the application is no longer used, we can remove the application and save on licenses.
The application is expensive and needs a lot of configuration to work well. You need a lot of consultancy.
We didn't have any insights in the use of our applications, now we have.
Contracts are documented in Snow, this gives us insights when licenses are out of date.
I like how easy it is to view what you tables you are exporting and how to integrate other apps to extract data out.
I wish they would provide a catalog item or content item on how to extract data for our customers that want to pull SnowMirror data.
Quick and elaborate reporting of ServiceNow data.
It is very innovative and easy to understand.
It requires some SAM understanding and it requires some IT skills to maintain.

Using cloud version you can have high aviability and you save installation.
Snow helps improve the exchange control process.
When the application or and user is no longer used, we can remove the application and save on licenses.
Software Recognition Service is expensive.
Snow Doesn´t recognize mobile devices.
Support can take a long time to resolve an issue, which could be potentially impacting your business operations, We created a ticket and this was attended until 4 days after.
It is not easy to use, you need a lot of learning which you can not do easily online, but there are a lot of documentation and tutorials.
I highly recommend Snow because despite the high price, snow is a complete tool that helps to have a true CMDB in your organization. Additionally, the return on investment is incredible because software usage reports or licenses can help you better protect your budgets and save a lot of money.
The main Benefit is you can have record all of our software licensing and also monitoring utilization. Before snow, we had a mess regarding to our licenses, we did not know whow had licenses and also how many lisences we had available. Another adventange is you can use the discovery, it´s very good to know if your staff has software pirate.
