EY Software Asset Management Managed Services Likes & Dislikes

Like

The stand-out strengths of EY Software Asset Management Managed Services are their deep SAM and licensing expertise, structured and well-governed approach, and strong audit and compliance support. The team provides clear insights, actionable recommendations, and consistent communication helping to improve visibility, risk management and cost optimization.

Like

I liked the support from the service team.

Like

- Strong licensing and compliance expertise across major software vendors. - Reliable, data-driven reporting with clear audit readiness - Proactive governance model that focuses on cost optimization and risk reduction. - Experience consultants with good understanding of enterprise environments

Dislike

Areas for improvement include the initial onboarding effort, which can be time consuming due to data collection and validation dependencies on multiple stakeholders for inputs and limited flexibility in tailoring reports to very specific business needs. These challenges reduce over time as processes mature.

Dislike

Like I mentioned the process took some time and that caused frustration for me.

Dislike

- Initial transition and onboarding required significant internal coordination - Some reporting customizations are taking longer than expected - Tool integration with existing internal systems could be more seamless
