Considered Both Products	Symantec Asset Management Suite Biswajit Tripathy DGM-IT, IN & VAS Chose Symantec Asset Management Suite We compared a lot of products Pulseway, Asset Panda, GoCodes, Service Now, BMC TrackIT, Sysaid, Landesk. After checking all these, found Symantec is the only one which fulfills all my organization's requirements. Glad to find a great choice by doing a proper survey. I would … Incentivized Helpful? Roberta Jones IT Administrative Specialist Chose Symantec Asset Management Suite TeamViewer does not have the ability to perform all the functions that Symantec Asset Management Suite can perform. TeamViewer is a good product, but I would only suggest that smaller organizations utilize it until they expand on their features a little more. The only negative … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Symantec Asset Management Suite Used FOG for deployment, and SAM is much more robust. Incentivized Helpful? Brandan Kusser End User Computing Technician Chose Symantec Asset Management Suite I use Samanage at my new company, and it is much more modern, has more functionality, and is faster/easier to use. However, I am not sure if it would stack up as well in a company the size of my last one. I went from a company of 2,000+ to a company of 350. The need for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Symantec Asset Management Suite Of the above mentioned solutions, I would say that nothing can hold a candle to the Asset Management suite within Altiris. After extensive research into products like Kaseya and SCCM, they have all fallen short as a full solution. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Symantec Asset Management Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	Broadcom If your organization has more than 50 computers and you have a dedicated IT Staff to manage the software then Symantec Asset Management Suite would be a great fit for your organization. The IT Staff can customize and configure the software and console to fit your organization's direct needs. It will speed up software installations and help to keep your computers running smoothly by applying patches and other necessary software updates in a timely manner. It will also help you manage your asset inventory so you know exactly where each computer is located, its IP address, and the users logging into the machine. If your organization is small and only has around 20 computer users then I would not recommend investing in the Symantec Asset Management Suite. Managing 20 computers is a task that is pretty easy to manage even if you do not have a dedicated IT Staff within your organization.

Pros	Broadcom Asset tracking - Very important in a business Reports - Keep track of what programs are installed, who has which computer, etc. Incentivized Brandan Kusser End User Computing Technician Read full review
Cons	Broadcom Ability to tie into and be supported by RHEL, CentOS, and any other Unix based OS. I know that they could tie into some different systems, but weren't truly supported. Altiris was how we deployed to multiple computers all at once, Altiris Agent sometimes stops, and can be an issue to have it update in the Console.
