SoftwareOne Software Asset Management Managed Services Likes & Dislikes

Like

They have built up a good range of SAM serices, have engaged and proactive employees. They also have an in-house developed software for data capture the delivers good results. Combined with manual analyses, this provides a good quality that automated processes and licens-tools alone cannot provide.

Like

Real, measurable and cost savings in comparison to its other competitors, It's very much liked among various enterprises due to its proactive audit readiness and also the end-to-end ownership which is very much liked.

Like

Direct contact with human experts, who provided clear advice that proved essential to resolving the contractual issues we had

Dislike

Nothing, I am satisfied. But I am conserned that the transation to SoftwareOne one may force us to switch to only automated analyses, and that the license data analyzes lose the manual touch that Crayon has offered, with good results.

Dislike

Perceived as expensive for mid-size organizations, ROI is another challenge if you are in the mid-size or SME segment. Slow turnaround time also came as a challenge since availability is the real ask for today's scenario

Dislike

- significant data capture needed to support the process

    Mixed Experience Noted with Pyra Cloud Licensing and Portal Performance

    Jan 16, 2026
    We had a decent experience with Pyra Cloud SoftwareOne. They handled our Microsoft, Adobe, and some other related licensing for quite some time, until our MSP took over. We didn't have a great experience with support, and their portal was difficult and slow to navigate at times.
