What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It offers both cloud-based and on-premise deployments, giving flexibility based on your business needs.Also One standout feature I really appreciate is the agentless asset discovery.

What do you dislike most about this product?

While it integrates well within the ManageEngine ecosystem, integrations with third-party tools are somewhat limited. That can be improved.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make a list of what you need — hardware tracking, software license management, reporting, integration with other tools, etc. AssetExplorer is great for basic to mid-level IT asset management, discuss your requirements with OEM team and they will guide you further that which Software you requires.

What differentiates ManageEngine AssetExplorer from other similar products?

ManageEngine AssetExplorer is a user-friendly, scalable IT asset management tool with automated asset discovery, detailed software license tracking, and powerful reporting. It integrates seamlessly with other ITSM tools, follows ITIL best practices, and offers mobile access for on-the-go management. AssetExplorer helps businesses ensure compliance, reduce costs, and manage assets efficiently, making it a cost-effective and comprehensive solution for organizations of all sizes.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of ManageEngine AssetExplorer is its user-friendly interface. It makes managing IT assets easy, even for those without a deep technical background. The simplicity of navigating through asset details, tracking software licenses, and generating reports without feeling overwhelmed is a big plus. It strikes a perfect balance between powerful features and ease of use, which is often hard to find in asset management tools.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One potential downside of ManageEngine AssetExplorer is that while it offers robust features, some users might find the setup process a bit time-consuming, especially when integrating with other systems or customizing reports. Additionally, while it provides mobile access, the mobile app's functionality can be somewhat limited compared to the full desktop version. For teams looking for advanced, highly customizable workflows, these aspects could be a bit frustrating. However, for most businesses, these are relatively minor drawbacks compared to the overall value it offers.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering ManageEngine AssetExplorer, I recommend starting with the free trial to get familiar with its features. Focus on automating asset discovery and software license tracking to save time. Customize the system to fit your workflows and train your team on key functions for better adoption. The integration process is smooth, but plan time for setup if you're connecting it to other tools. Overall, it’s a powerful, user-friendly solution for managing IT assets efficiently.
