What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Flexera One, we were using CloudHealth to manage cloud costs. While CloudHealth offered basic cloud cost visibility, it lacked the depth and flexibility we needed across cloud environments.
Now, we can:
Track cloud usage across the entire organization
Identify underutilized licenses to optimize spend
Create custom policies and reports using Power BI
Gain real-time insights via the Cost Optimization Dashboard
This has led to better governance, cost savings, and stronger alignment between IT and finance teams.

FlexeraOne is the best all around ITAM tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
Flexera can show license information details about on-prem and cloud software, making the life of a SAM manager easier, rather than relying on many disparate resources. I use Flexera regularly and am working to get more and more software vendor information into Flexera, to make the lives of others a bit easier.

Flexera can take a while to integrate properly. Not all the connections can be done in the same manner, and the creation of custom licenses can take quite a long time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now our executive leadership can look at Flexera and our top software vendors, and understand how we are utilizing those software licenses, which equates to dollars well invested towards the revenue of the company, or identifies potential savings to be realized.

Power BI reporting capability
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Flexera doesn't provide in-built reporting capabilities - Asset inventory reports, build your own bill report based on various bill dimensions, tag dimensions and rbd dimension, we always rely on policy templates which has its own limitations on the data size etc.
2. RI/SP recommendations not based on the customer actuals, cannot be tweak based on existing usage and recommendations date to exclude the usage from expiring reservations or SP plans to have more custom plan to buy reservations
3. Right size recommendations based on best size availability as per cost and performance. Policies require enhancements
4. Dashboard capability needs to be improved - to include cost and usage
5. RCA for the anomaly generated - unable to schedule cost spike alerts, dig into an anomaly to see more details - service, subcategory, operation, description etc.
6. Accounts status information
7. Difficult to manage so many credentials to run the policies.
