    With the introduction of API-based event alerts, there is no need for a proxy, which is a good option. Its ability to manage infra on a real-time basis is a good option that helps monitor, administer and troubleshoot virtual machines.

    Cons
    Flexera
    • SaaS connectors are not always kept up to date usually when Publishers make changes to their Portal API's. Appears to be little active monitoring on Flexera/Snow Atlas' side unless a customer reports an issue with the data being returned. Fixes are normally implemented as as quickly as possible, depending on whether it is considered a Bug Fix or a Feature Enhancement.
    • Users - Snow on SAM - No ability to add or bulk import manually. Completely reliant on AD Discovery or Entra ID Discovery
    • Users - SaaS module - No ability for bulk update of Users for things line 'Online only' or 'Qualified' user accounts. This is an issue in larger companies where you have thousands of SaaS Users being reported through connectors like Microsoft E365.
    • SaaS module Dashboard does not allow for filtering of insights to a specific Publisher.
    • Not all Back end SMACC functionality form Snow License Manager have been exposed to the front-end access, as Snow Atlas does not allow customer Administrators access to the back end or SQL databases.
    • If you are migrating from on-prem Snow License Manager to Atlas, migration tools have not been created by Snow and will require a Project to handle your migration. Without Migration tools, we had to use a Managed Service Partner who had to manually create a lot of their own scripts to retrieve data that cannot be downloaded via reports and imported into Atlas. Any attachments documentation on Agreement or License Records has to be manually re-attached/uploaded to the relevant Agreement/License records in Atlas as the migration was performed.

    It has a good GUI to monitor real-time logs for cloud applications. This is quite a useful tool and preferred over most of the competitive applications in the market.

    Front line support staff done always understand the issue you are explaining or the need to escalate to back end/higher up areas for resolutions and can often require use of the Escalate function or emailing to your Account/Customer Success Manager. That said, once an issue properly is understood, it is handled well.

    The support is pretty good however some of the KB articles still reference different versions of the product so it can be hard to find answers to common questions

    Implementation Rating

    We should have spun up a Project to manage the implementation. Snow indicated to us the ease in which Snow Atlas could be implemented, however this did not factor in that we were migrating from their on-prem product Snow License Manager hosted through a Managed Servicer Partner. For a clean installation, your implementation can be quick and likely not require a Project. If you are migrating from another products or are a company that can have lots of stakeholders, fingers in the pie, hurdles/business processes that need to be adhered to, definitely use a Project to perform your implementation.

    SCOM was quite overwhelming when we first set up a POC for it. There was just too much for one person to handle. With vROPs I can manage the product and provide the support needed for my environment. We also have a Solarwinds environment that provides us with a level of detail and alerting we have come to rely upon. vROPS takes it to another level because it links directly into vCenter to provide you with a complete picture of your virtual environment.

    Return on Investment
    Flexera
    • Made it a lot easier to determine annual Microsoft renewal numbers and only renew what we needed reducing costs
    • Helps us identify potential software that can be rationalised reducing costs
    • Helps us identify unapproved software and people aware of the the risks

    • We believe that the ability to preplan deployments with vRealize has proven its return on investments.
    • Our troubleshooting time has been reduced with vrealize because its constantly collecting performance data. typically vrealize will tell us cause of fault before we can determine it ourselves.
