    OpenLM can simplify the reporting of complex licenses with multiple toolboxes or products on one server. It covers most of our license server types, but not all. The academic version is reasonably priced (e.g. for educational institutions) giving 90% of the features, however setting it up on-premise was more complex than our original pilot would suggest. We couldn't do without it now.

    It is best for handling daily incidents and change records in the organization. And also provide features like which incident will have higher priority, and which have less and on the basis of that developer do their daily activities to resolve them. It also helps in managing our compliance change logs, which help the compliance team.

    Cons
    OpenLM
    • You can share a link to a dynamic report (e.g. the last 365 days). The URL is very long but it can be used with a 3rd party short URL utility and shared with users.
    • Upgrading to the latest version took a long time to troubleshoot, which left a short gap in the saved data.

    The overall satisfaction is great and it offers great features. By expanding to using AI feature of Symphony Summit, we look forward to automate even ticket tracking and ticket resolution. The support provided by the symphony SummitAI team is also robust compared to industry standards and the team also conducts regular reviews to find out any dissatisfaction from the clients.

    X-Formation, OpenIT, JTB, Sassafras either more expensive for the particular task of managing and monitoring concurrent licenses, or they had a different set of features (such as Sassafras K2/Keyserver also for remote access)

    The main reason for choosing Symphony Summit is the customization. We wanted to have a separate tool for our business unit. Compared to ServiceNow, which requires a license to approve a request, Symphony does not require a license. In addition, it is much easier to customize and scale.
