FlexNet Manager vs. Reftab

Software is one of the major items on any IT expense budget. Industry analysts estimate software license and maintenance fees represent 20 to 35% of total enterprise IT spend. The approach for managing a software asset portfolio is typically inefficient, relying on a local approach instead of a global one, and frequently involves spreadsheets or other ad hoc methods. The lack of efficient software asset management processes exposes enterprises to software audit liabilities and overspending on licenses and maintenance.

Reftab is built for modern IT teams who want a powerful and flexible solution to manage hardware and software in one place. Since 2013, IT teams have relied on Reftab to track, manage, and automate their hardware and software asset management — with over 1.8 million assets currently managed on the platform. That track record shows up in the recognition. Reftab has earned awards year after year, including Forbes Best in Class, Gartner IT Management Category Leadership, and Capterra awards for Best Value and Ease of Use.
