Asset Panda vs. Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management

Asset Panda, in my opinion, is well suited for even the most confined environments. The software's costing is very viable and well worth the value that it brings to solving a variety of keeping inventory that many businesses face. This item has saved us money by keeping track of assets that would have otherwise been lost or written off. This all is now in its proper place.

• It is great for a non profit organization because you can add any columns you need to the asset. For example, I have added a funding source column to sort different grants that have paid for our assets.
• Asset Panda provides the depreciation calculation for you.
• The software is easy to maneuver. It can be easily searched and sorted by type of asset/date or any category you create.
• You can add and track non depreciable items as well. Reports can be ran for just depreciable assets when needed so this will not interfere with you depreciable asset listing.

• Configuration of approval limits and document routing can be challenging.
• Oracle Forms restricts some functions. A little flexibility in displaying different information would be helpful. Functionality is available in the HTML portions of the software.
