- Aspera
- AssetLabs
- BDNA
- Certero
- Express Metrix
- FAST Limited
- Flexera Software
- FrontRange Solutions
- LicenseWatch
- Matrix42
- Provance
- Sassafras Software
- Scalable Software
- Snow Software
- Spider / Brainware
- Vector Networks
Product Classes
Technology will be grouped, scored and assessed in four classes:
- Inventory & SAM
- SAM only (no inventory)
- Enterprise SAM (SAM for larger environments)
- Best Overall Technology
The review criteria are grouped into six categories as detailed below:
The aim of the report is to showcase SAM technology and innovation so that worldwide SAM professionals can see the strengths and competitive differences between different vendors and make informed purchasing decisions.
I aim to publish at the end of October / Start of November – please subscribe to The ITAM Review newsletter to be notified when it is published.
