“System Useful for Consolidating Smaller Provider Offers but Customer Care Lags Behind”

3.0
Feb 13, 2026
Not a bad system, but support needs to improve - too long to get answers, not very good care of customers. It performs similarly to other alternatives. It could be better with improved customer care. It is unclear if they deliver the value you pay for.

Performance of SoftwareOne Across Market Features

SoftwareOne Likes & Dislikes

Like

Expert guidance on software and cloud optimization, easy to use platform for license and asset management, responsive and helpful support team.

Like

Simple enough to use, and especially useful for consolidating offers from smaller providers. Sometimes it could be regarded as expensive when compared to the added value it offers. In general, it fulfills what is expected from this kind of service, but do not expect much more than that.

Like

It has strong expertise and advisory support, good management capabilities and it offers access to multiple vendors.

Dislike

Initial setup and onboarding can take time, some advanced features are not immediately intuitive, and reporting options could be more flexible.

Dislike

Lack of engagement with the customer. It's difficult to get an agent that can really help. Too expensive for the value. Some providers complained about automated emails requesting information that was not really relevant.

Dislike

The learning curve is high, costs can get really high and the workflow features could be more intuitive.

    Platform Delivers Strong Asset Management but Faces Complexity and Cost Challenges

    4.0
    Jan 29, 2026
    The experience with the platform has been positive so far, the platform offers really good and strong capabilities for software asset management, licensing optimization and cloud control. Their consulting expertise is at a global level and adds significant value. However, some processes can feel overly complex at times, and some workflows require improvements.
