User Testimonials
	OpenText ZENworks Asset Management	Symantec Asset Management Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	OpenText No answers on this topic	Broadcom If your organization has more than 50 computers and you have a dedicated IT Staff to manage the software then Symantec Asset Management Suite would be a great fit for your organization. The IT Staff can customize and configure the software and console to fit your organization's direct needs. It will speed up software installations and help to keep your computers running smoothly by applying patches and other necessary software updates in a timely manner. It will also help you manage your asset inventory so you know exactly where each computer is located, its IP address, and the users logging into the machine. If your organization is small and only has around 20 computer users then I would not recommend investing in the Symantec Asset Management Suite. Managing 20 computers is a task that is pretty easy to manage even if you do not have a dedicated IT Staff within your organization.

Pros	OpenText No answers on this topic	Broadcom Asset tracking - Very important in a business Reports - Keep track of what programs are installed, who has which computer, etc. Incentivized Brandan Kusser End User Computing Technician Read full review
Cons	OpenText No answers on this topic	Broadcom Ability to tie into and be supported by RHEL, CentOS, and any other Unix based OS. I know that they could tie into some different systems, but weren't truly supported. Altiris was how we deployed to multiple computers all at once, Altiris Agent sometimes stops, and can be an issue to have it update in the Console. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	OpenText No answers on this topic	Broadcom We compared a lot of products Pulseway, Asset Panda, GoCodes, Service Now, BMC TrackIT, Sysaid, Landesk. After checking all these, found Symantec is the only one which fulfills all my organization's requirements. Glad to find a great choice by doing a proper survey. I would suggest others to go for this too. Incentivized Biswajit Tripathy DGM-IT, IN & VAS Read full review
