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.

October 05, 2023
Good but can be significantly improved
- Default reports are great
- Interface is easy enough to follow once you know what it is your looking for
- Scheduled reporting is easy to set up and maintain
- Standard applications reports i.e. reports of applications flagged as denied on the allowed list. This would make the reporting and scheduling automated rather then being manual.
- License / Agreement email notification with to users who do not have access to Snow License Manager with predefined text messages i.e. informing users what they need to do as next steps. The text can be updated based on privilege's set up on Snow License Manager e.g. Snow License Manager administrator
- Standard report which returns empty container application records
- schedule email of dashboards
- ability to record application versions greater then 0.x.x in the SRS library. This is critical to tracking of applications where the latest version.
- consistency of labels of columns through the various reports
- The ability to select and move multiple columns at the same time when building or updating a report .
- one report which shows a application, user, computer, if the application requires a license and which users have a valid license for the application.

Snow License Manager is the almost perfect tool for license management
- List with all installed applications
- the frequency of use of installed applications

- Contract Management

- Evaluation of who is assigned which license

Snow License Manager, buy it, use it
- Maintain Inventory Data
- Global view of IT asset
- Integration with other systems, like ServiceNow. There are connectors but takes a bit of manipulation to get the data to line up.
- Manage software licenses
- Calculate software compliance
- Discover computer and user information
- Lacks the ability to discover of company-specific URLs. Two options to add them are or were available, but the one that works isn't supported and won't be provided and the other doesn't fully work, so neither are recommended for use by Snow. That leaves zero options.
- Agreement information cannot be updated in bulk, such as when the main contact for multiple agreements change due to organization changes.
- If a device is on the network, but no one has recently logged into it, Snow will show the previous user as actively logging in each day (even months after their last logon).

Snow License Manager.
- License landscape capture.
- Comprehensive Tools to analyse license landscape (Reports).
- Great Customer Service provides detailed adjustments to preferences.
- Difficulty handling big dbs.
- Snowboard offers limited functionality and needs more options for customization.
- Automation of Analysis beyond reports not yet possible.
- Very limited/no customization for the installer.

Snow License Manager, does exactly what it says on the box.
- Auto calculates compliance, we have a process in place to package new software and as such we check that Snow License Manager understand how to license the software, doing this small piece of work at the start of an application deployment means that Snow License Manager can report on our compliance accurately, and to be completely honest the changes we have to make are few, as the Snow License Manager team does a great job adding these in to Snow License Manager automatically.
- Recognise Software Applications to the right licensing level, again this work is completed by Snow License Manager in the background, but know when an application support and maintenance allows you to have free upgrades or not, or when specific applications go end of life, is vital data on top of recognizing the application itself.
- Being able to read all of the data collated from the front end rather then having to access the back end services, would help save me time and effort, but I understand that this would not be something that all users would want.
- A better way of sharing and managing reports. The current system means that a single change to a spelling could create a new folder, and that folder do not have permissions to share reports but individual reports all have to have permissions added, so a new user starting means I have to open and add that individual to 50+ reports. If there were sharing Groups this would make a difference in time saving.

Snow License Manager – SAM for complex use cases
- Identifies where and when software applications have been used
- Checks compliance of applications to the license terms
- Warns of impending license expiries
- Recognition of licensed plugins running in another application's executable is missing
- There is inconsistent use of Wildcards like "%" across search fields in the SLM and SMACC
- The search "filter" called "Also include not installed/used" is necessary to see not installed/used applications.
October 27, 2022
A Robust and Comprehensive SAM Product for Large Enterprises.
- SLM finds installations of software reliably.
- SLM determines the usage of applications, web apps, and the users who employ them.
- SLM Reports help management determine current and future application usage.
- SLM notifies when forbidden programs are installed.
- SLM provides complete license management.
- The Snow Management and Control Center (SMACC) has inconsistent searches and filters, some functioning with wildcards and others not.
- The learning curve of Snow is quite steep.
- Recalculating compliance can slow the entire application down.
October 15, 2022
Just starting with SLM.
- Information collection.
- Software identification.
- I would like to be able to see unidentified software products in the admin user web pages, and not just on the server tool.
- It can track if a software has been used and report back for utilization review.
- It can monitor and alert on license and contact expiration, which helps eliminate the human factor with manual reminders.
- There is a lot of flexibility in the software to handle your license information.
- The reporting and searching tools are powerful, but are dependent on the person entering the data in a clean, uniform manner. We've had problems that rendered searches, primarily from data issues.
- The utilization relies on clients writing back at assigned times, we have 'frozen' workstations that don't preserve data. This has led to many problems and manual configurations to get it working properly (and I don't think they all currently are).
- The software identification can be troublesome. We've had many software 'alerts' that we were out of compliance because part of an application was detected as something else and then didn't match the product. Accuracy is definitely a problem.
