Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use ManageEngine AssetExplorer to monitor and manage assets in our network. ManageEngine AssetExplorer is being used across the entire organization, approximately 200 people in 7 locations. It is great for discovering and managing assets on our network. The periodic scans and updates help us keep up to date with the status of our assets.
Pros
- The asset discovery across the network is great.
- The periodic scanning and updating of asset status is super valuable.
- The software discovery is outstanding. Receiving list of installed software helps greatly with license compliance.
Cons
- To my knowledge, there is not a mobile application.
- The web interface could look a bit more polished, but this is really a minor area of improvement.
Likelihood to Recommend
You definitely only want to buy this product if you have the need. I'd say that need starts at about 40 assets. Less than that and you may be wasting your time with a a product that is overkill. We use it for about 1000 assets and it is a lifesaver. I couldn't imagine managing the assets manually.
