Power BI reporting capability
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Flexera doesn't provide in-built reporting capabilities - Asset inventory reports, build your own bill report based on various bill dimensions, tag dimensions and rbd dimension, we always rely on policy templates which has its own limitations on the data size etc.
2. RI/SP recommendations not based on the customer actuals, cannot be tweak based on existing usage and recommendations date to exclude the usage from expiring reservations or SP plans to have more custom plan to buy reservations
3. Right size recommendations based on best size availability as per cost and performance. Policies require enhancements
4. Dashboard capability needs to be improved - to include cost and usage
5. RCA for the anomaly generated - unable to schedule cost spike alerts, dig into an anomaly to see more details - service, subcategory, operation, description etc.
6. Accounts status information
7. Difficult to manage so many credentials to run the policies.

Flexera review
What do you like best about the product?
Flexera is very good tool, it supports huge range of vendors and allows multiple customizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Huge tool without good support, they basically sell something which requires a lot of work to configure but technical documentation is not perfect,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera is able to solve lack of licensing data problem and fullfill it by getting right data using Flexnet agents and than normalizing them with multiple other sources like (VMVare, IBM, SAP) which finally gives a very good reporting baseline. With that baseline, flexera support with good reporting engine, which allows to make persoalized reports basically by everyone.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, when you have such a highly customizable solution, getting to the outcome you're looking for requires more knowledge / effort than the average person has. Thus, requires additional help / services to get there. But the overall value of the outcome in the end (and continued outcomes), eclipses any investment made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera One helps us optimize technology spend and avoid compliance risk for hundreds of customers, for thousands of publishers, on a daily basis.

Creation of transparency and identification of optimization potential
Leader of the pack
What do you like best about the product?
Visibility to the underlying recognition libraries is a distinguishing feature.
Great documentation for connection of data sources, and support from Flexera if you need it, have made implementations easy.
Being able to quickly show where savings can be achieved surprises many.
The FlexeraOne platform is the yardstick that other tools are measured against.

The FlexeraOne platform is the yardstick that other tools are measured against.
What do you dislike about the product?
More explainer documentation of how to realise value from the FlexeraOne platform is needed. Customers need to be advised up front that these tools are not silver bullets by themselves; change and activity in the business is required to actualise savings. Template action plans could be a step in this direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an implementation partner, we sometimes look at customer use cases and advise on their tool selection if asked. The FlexeraOne platform is always a candidate.
An intuitive platform, but with room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Its number of features is impressive, especially for tracking software usage and cloud spend. The ease of integration with AWS and Azure helped centralize data quickly. It’s now part of our weekly IT workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ease of use is limited at first—features are not always intuitive. Ease of implementation took longer than expected, and customer support, while responsive, sometimes lacks urgency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera One helps solve software license management and cloud cost overruns, giving me clear visibility and control. This saves money and reduces compliance risks, which benefits our budgeting and IT planning.
Powerful and Feature-Rich Asset Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The platform offers robust features for license management, easy integration with other tools, and the customer support is responsive and helpful. Automation of compliance reporting and detailed usage analytics save me a lot of time. The dashboard is intuitive, making frequent use efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial implementation process is somewhat complex and requires a steep learning curve. Some advanced features feel overwhelming without more in-depth training or clearer documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera One helps us gain full visibility into our software assets and SaaS subscriptions, enabling better cost control and compliance. It solves the problem of inefficient license tracking and prevents overspending on unused software, ultimately improving our budgeting and operational efficiency.

From Discovery to Governance: How Flexera One Streamlines ITAM
What do you like best about the product?
There are many features about Flexera One which makes one's life easy like ease of implementation, customer support, vast integrations etc. but the standout feature for me is Flexera One is its exceptional visibility and normalization engine, which delivers accurate, unified data across software, hardware, and SaaS assets with help of one of the largest databases of technopedia.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about Flexera One but there are few things i would like to mention if that can be enhanced it can contribute to more effective overall user experience. Specifically stating it would more options for customized reporting capabilities, simplification/generalization of the left-hand side tabs with only options that are really useful which can reduce confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera One helps in contributing/delivering tangible values to businesses that start right from bringing the visibility into the estate when deployed properly across the estate. Its unified visibility into on-premises, cloud, and SaaS assets, eliminates blind spots and enabling smarter decisions. Then Its integration with Technopedia ensures enriched data on over 5 million products across 100,000 vendors making licensing and visibility easy for end-users. All these directly results into cost optimization and license management. Flexera One reporting is also authorized by many vendors which eventually helps you during the Audits Defense and Risk Mitigation.
Flexera One high customization potential
What do you like best about the product?
The customization capability are very high. I'm working in a large company with complex organization. Flexera managed to customize the Flexera One in order to best meet our organizational requirements. Every thing which goes beyond ITAM (we were using FNMS in the past) is highly valuable and provides a lot of additional opportunities and potential to replace redundant tools covering the same set of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Report creation in ITAM. The main issue I had in FNMS is still there in Flexera One. Sometimes I must create large ITAM reports including parameters for device, inventory, assigned user etc. Once the report is saved and run the order of the parameters is completely mixed up, specially once I modify the report eg. by adding an additional parameter the order is again mixed up completely after saving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexera One is providing good insights of the installed base and helps managing audits or even prevent audits from happening. We are just starting ramping up Cloud management and all related areas and are very exited to explore the benefits Flexera One will provide. Additionally we are actually working with Flexera to get the most out of the new sustainability capability and what we already achieved looks very promising.
