ManageEngine AssetExplorer

ManageEngine AssetExplorer is being used to track what major computer equipment is in production for the entire organization, store information on vendors the organization work with and have contracts with, and to inform us of when a contract/subscription is about to expire and has to be renewed. Lastly, we use it for the purchase order module as the core component for the procurement process within the organization that helps us track spending and compare prices between vendors who stock similar items.

The purchase order module can be very useful if you put a process in place. It is miles ahead of using a spreadsheet or something simple to do purchase orders and track spending.

It can be good to keep track of equipment and software you have in house. However it is imperative you have dedicated staff and processes in place to maximize the utility of the software else it can become a white elephant if not implemented properly as it is a complex piece of software that does many things.

We use ManageEngine AssetExplorer to monitor and manage assets in our network. ManageEngine AssetExplorer is being used across the entire organization, approximately 200 people in 7 locations. It is great for discovering and managing assets on our network. The periodic scans and updates help us keep up to date with the status of our assets.

You definitely only want to buy this product if you have the need. I'd say that need starts at about 40 assets. Less than that and you may be wasting your time with a a product that is overkill. We use it for about 1000 assets and it is a lifesaver. I couldn't imagine managing the assets manually.

I have deployed the manage engine agent in whole my LAN network in order to get tracked and inventoy all the IT assets, it help a lot when the department is being audited and at the momment that we planned to renew equipments. also it allows us to get tracket the assignment of our assets

This tool is ideal for use when you have a medium or large amount of assets and you need to have control of them. You can even create a form for those assets so non-IT staff can access it. As an analyst, this tool helps a lot with the inventory task. I think that you will always need a tool like this in your company.

We used AssetExplorer to gather an inventory of all of our corporate devices while we were undergoing a divestiture.

It is perfect for small to medium businesses looking for an inexpensive way to track and catalog all assets in their environment.
