Overall Satisfaction with Snow License Manager

Some of the provided integrations do not meet our needs.
Snow License Manager is used to manage over 1000 agreements and 11,000 software licenses. We also heavily use the computer and user discovery data to supplement our ITSM system and validate when the device was last used, and by whom.
  • 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).
  • License and Agreement Management
  • License Compliance
  • User and Computer Discovery
  • Improved data quality and visibility through consistent management of licenses in a central location
  • Improved visibility into license compliance issues
Easy to install, but can be somewhat complex to learn how all of the pieces work together.

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.
