General Feedback
Strengths:
Flexibility to track hardware and software.
Weaknesses:
Training on use of software.
What feature would you add if you had the choice?
Train to use first then install.
Support or implementation:
Most managers and users support it, development managers suspicious of it.
If you had the opportunity to choose ITAM technology again would you choose the same product?
For the flexibility and price yes. Other applications we had looked at did not meet some of these specifications.
