    Asset Manager is great for people who understand the Software Development Lifecycle and are familiar with the terminology, however for a new assistant, or a new novice user, the software can seem over-whelming with the rather confusing terminology and a multitude of tabs that open up. It's definitely great software to use for a professional PM, however an assistant would be lost in the tools being offered.

    As I have used it as a ticketing tool, so it has an ability to integrate very well with other softwares to help make co ordination in your work much easier. Whenever, I used to get a scenario from end user regarding an issue via chat, the service now window would pop up immediately as it was integrated.

    • Need more video tutorials - Although HP has great FAQs and has included the keyword search for topics, but some video tutorials would be great to help a new user.
    • Overwhelming at times. I remember when I first started using the software, just the magnitude of tools were too much. However even though I don't use half the tools even now, just the possibility of more functions available to me, makes it a great software.
    • Secure Log-in - I would like HP to invest into single sign-on where you don't need to put in your user ID & password constantly. A push notification to a personal device would a great added feature.

    • The ITAM dashboards and forms can feel overwhelming for agents or managers who don’t use the system every day.
    • While the reporting tools are robust. building custom, dynamic reports still requires a decent understanding of the ServiceNow Platform.

    I find HP Asset Manager useful but sometimes too much data needs to be entered.

    On overall look, ServiceNow IT Asset Management works amazingly well and it is easy to use for beginners. It is a great tool for all types of companies and with customisation and integration options, ServiceNow IT Asset Management becomes a giant. There are few scope of improvements which when done, will level this tool up.

    HP Asset Manager is definitely enterprise grade, whereas the other asset Management programs I have are specific to either one industry or a smaller locations that might not need the deep analysis & reporting functionalities & tools that are provided by HP. The cost is indeed higher than other programs like Fox Graphic Tracker (Internal Software) and Samange that I have used in the past, but for a large enterprise with multiple ongoing projects, HP Asset Manager is the way to go !

    Remedy for one was a tool to be installed on my computer whereas ServiceNow is a web-based tool and is available to use everywhere since it's a SaaS offering. Next is reporting which you have to use formulas in remedy but you have that good UI for easy report creation

    • HP Asset Manager is great for compliance purposes. We know we have all the licenses in place when needed for upgrades or yearly reviews. Saves us times.
    • Ability to track & print reports saves PMs time in quartely reviews.
    • Great way to prepare for any presentations by the use of analytical tools which saves us money in investing in other software for presentation purposes.

    • By tracking license usage, we’ve been able to reallocate unused licenses instead of purchasing new ones, saving thousands annually.
    • With the integration to Amazon Connect and Zoom Phone, agents can instantly view user assets during calls, which has reduced average resolution time and improved customer satisfaction scores.
