Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly
Summary
I use Ivanti Asset Manager to track IT assets, but I find it lacking due to synchronization issues, inaccurate queries, and cumbersome customization. While the ticketing system works well, the ITAM features do not justify the investment.
Pros
"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational. "
Cons
"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
What is our primary use case?
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status.
How has it helped my organization?
I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations.
What needs improvement?
The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices. Additionally, customizing fields and roles is cumbersome, making it inefficient.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have general experience using Ivanti Asset Manager. I have been using it for approximately two years and continue to use it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational. However, the accuracy of the information it provides is questionable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product scalability is limited. Customizations are cumbersome, and the system is not user-friendly. Previous solutions I have used, such as Quest, were more intuitive and easier to modify.
How are customer service and support?
While they respond and attempt to assist, they do not address the core issues effectively. Support personnel often lack cross-training between modules, leading to fragmented problem resolution.
How would you rate customer service and support?
What was our ROI?
The return on investment for the ITAM portion of Asset Manager is poor. Although the ticketing system is effective, the ITAM functionality is inadequate and does not justify the cost.
What other advice do I have?
Significant improvements would need to be made before AI could be effectively utilized. The ITAM portion is particularly lacking in functionality and usability.
I would rate Asset Manager a three out of ten.
