What is Snow License Manager?

Snow License Manager enables organizations to gain an accurate view of software usage and entitlements. Organizations can then dynamically reconcile these findings against license entitlements to optimize their IT environments and be audit-ready.

HOW IT WORKS
Snow License Manager is the central hub for the Snow Software Asset Management platform, providing a unified view of installed software, SaaS, cloud resources and hardware. With Snow License Manager, usage data is automatically translated into commercial software product information using Snow Data Intelligence Service. Regardless of the source of inventory data, license entitlements or organizational data, Snow License Manager turns raw data into clean, consistent, actionable intelligence that can be used by a variety of stakeholders to make informed decisions.

UNLOCK A UNIFIED VIEW OF ALL ASSETS
Snow License Manager provides a consolidated view of all assets, including end-user computing, data center, SaaS, public cloud and hardware. Multiple deployment models, software vendors, device types, and locations can be managed with just one interface. Customizable dashboards with detailed analytics, drill-down and filters enable quick access to data. Plus, audit data can be imported from multiple inventory sources to cover the full range of platforms.

STAY COMPLIANT AND BUILD AUDIT DEFENSE

Snow Software automatically calculates compliance positions, even for complex data center titles which may be virtual or physical. Snow is used to track license entitlements against usage in public cloud platforms to reduce audit risk. Snow License Manager can also help determine an organization's effective license position, and displays technology assets, entitlements and agreements, to support audit preparedness.


OPTIMIZE YOUR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS

Snow License Manager automatically identifies unused cloud subscriptions and software installations to optimize an organization's license or subscription level, uninstall and harvest licenses. With immediate insight into total investment, compliance risk and overspend for either a single application or the whole product family, users can see license optimization opportunities and take action to reduce costs.

When replacing computers, it is easy to determine which software the old computer has installed in order to supply the new computer with the necessary software. Contracts that are to be renewed are automatically presented for renewal.

The content of the cost fields formatted by Snow is displayed as incorrect when a data record is saved again. Saving is only possible after appropriate changes have been made.

Snow License Manager is well suited to organisations who can afford to invest in the resources to establish, run and maintain the tool, processes and people once the organisation has established the roles and responsibilities and the procurement processes including software licensing and Snow License Manager intergration/aligment.

SLM is really great for being able to reclaim software licenses when assigned users are not using their software. This is really helpful especially at renewal time. In reality when it comes to software, Snow is very good at managing all aspects.

Snow License Manager is well suited for organizations using standard licensing models and working with major manufacturers. The tool sometimes struggles with more complex licensing models, although it does allow the metric to be entered manually in those cases. Also, if a company has many less commonly-used software titles, there is a good chance they will not be included in Snow's Software Recognition Service and each title will have to be submitted to Snow to be added to their service.

Snow works fine for standard software, but is less suitable if different programs are started from a tool. Particularly for for suites, eg from Autodesk, it is difficult to prevent Snow from not double counting the software contained in the suite, especially if certain software appears in several suites (AutoCAD MAP 3D).

Snow is perfectly suited to gain knowledge and collect data in a huge company like ours, but I can't see it being used for a small business, as it's simply "overkill". Perfectly suited to maintain a healthy control over a broad license landscape with often complex and not easy-to-look-through ownerships, provides a great tool to enhance license use. Some.

I have said at a number of events that I have attended, where other suppliers have shown their latest and greatest new thing, it is the fundamentals that need to work, and need to work well, and this is what Snow License Manager does. It does not take a team of 100 staff to get the tool working or to keep the tool functioning, it works and is stable out of the box. We have learnt that putting the right processes in at the start means that Snow License Manager can do what it has been designed to do and what we have paid for it to do. Audits from vendors now days are relatively simple actions, with the Snow License Manager doing it's job we can quickly run a report and know exactly what our position is and then act accordingly, quick, simple and accurate data at your finger tips, as long as you put the work in to enter the license details etc. If Snow License Manager could invent a robot to go around the business and find all these bits of paper for us then that would be perfect.

In large organizations especially with extensive networking among branches, Snow License Manager provides comprehensive information for software application management and acquisition. Users can be given privileges in Snow License Manager commensurate with their job profile.

In smaller organizations it could be oversized. Snow License Manager has a stiff learning curve requiring dedicated human resources to grasp, implement and deploy. For small organizations that could be too costly in terms of initial costs and the time the user needs to become proficient.

In large organizations where control can be exercised over the computers and the range of the software estate is not clear, Snow can be employed with great benefit, easily identifying applications currently in use and determining over-purchase and under-purchase. In BYOD scenarios, Snow would be less effective since the organization has no clear way to control which applications scanned by the Snow agent belong to the user and which to the organization. Perhaps limiting installations to a virtual realm on the devices employed (VMs or virtual appliances) would make it possible, but this would require significant planning on the part of the IT in such scenarios.

If you need to centralize your licensing and subscriptions, this solution will work. If you are running standard computers in an office, this will give you decent utilization statistics.

If you have any non-persistent workstations, then it isn't going to be for you. If you aren't running the full packages of some major software, you'll have a lot of work to do to convince Snow that you are in compliance.

It is heavily dependent on the data entry quality, so if you have a central person in charge of data entry it will be a good solution. If there are many hands entering license and software data, you may run into headaches.
