Overall Satisfaction with Snow Atlas

There is a saying, 'You can’t manage what you can’t measure, and measure what you can't see'. Snow Atlas has provided the much needed visibility we need to demonstrate good stewardship over the entire lifecycle of our digital assets and services, to rationalise, standardise, and optimise of assets, reduce our exposure to risk, improve both licensing and security compliance, reduce costs, and maintain warranty and utility.

Pros

  • Visibility of traditional desktop and web based applications
  • Reminders when agreements and annual renewals are coming up in the next 90, 60, 30 days
  • Helps us identify similar application types, where they are being used, so we can better understand the capabilities they provide businesses
  • Provide usage trends over time to inform renewals and compliance
  • Reclaim software that is note in active use

Cons

  • Dashboard reporting so we gain insights over time
  • The ability to add both desktop and cloud applications not in Snows database directly
  • Alert Snow when the application type needs correcting
  • Ability to add new periods and rates for M365 and still have previous periods
  • Ability to log calls to Snow via Snow Atlas
  • 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
SaaS and Core are now separate We cant add new new periods and rate for M365 and keep the previous details Reporting could be more intuitive

Yes

Would you buy Snow Atlas again?

Yes

Improving visibility of - end user devices, servers, traditional installed software and web based applications. - usage vs installs, reclaiming software, and reducing potential costs - providing usage over time - lacks simple automation like notifying people they have software that they aren't using, removing it if they either do not reply or do reply they no longer need it - reporting is pretty basic necessitating another BI tool - no mechanism within a tool to log calls
