AssetTiger

Vorteile

Obviously the best thing about this software is that it's a full-featured asset management system with no subscription fees! We have been using a very limited database that integrates with Google Drive (Obvibase), which served its purpose for the first five years of business, but as our assets grow, we need something heftier. We're a small company, so we're not going to be able to fork over thousands of dollars to subscribe to some of Asset Tiger's competitors (and honestly, we don't need the majority of the bells and whistles). When I first read about Asset Tiger, I was skeptical, but I read more about it and decided to try it out. It's free for customers who buy tags, so I ordered some free samples and started to familiarize myself with the software. It was very intuitive and easy to use. I'm sure I haven't figured out all the finer details, and we would have some work to do to get everything rolled out to employees to start using, but it's fantastic so far. The graphical user interface is nice, and it's easy to set up. I exported from our old database, downloaded their import template, moved my exported file around to match, and imported our database in under 20 minutes. We're impressed. It's turning a task I used to hate into one I'm a little excited about.

Nachteile

There is only one thing that I tried to do that couldn't be done so far, and that was to run a report showing only assets. I did a simple workaround - I added a new field that I'll add the word "TRUE" in for these items as they're added. I also sorted the list by most expensive to least expensive, checked all the items, and batch-added this attribute. Then I ran a custom report for all items with that attribute designated as TRUE, and it worked.

Vorteile

I like that this program and app is easy to setup. I had the warehouse guy do it with little or no training. The stickers are easy to implement. Although, on plastic surfaces, I would rivet the stickers into the equipment. The training to field technicians is easy as well. Easy for them to use.

Nachteile

I would like the reporting features to be easier to use. The reports are great, but saving them isn't. An email report of assets that haven't been seen in a while would great too. As mentioned in the review, a history or feed of users would be nice. Then, I would know who isn't using the program and fix that behavior.

Vorteile

AssetTiger allows us to easily track hardware that is handed out to employees through the check-in and check-out functionallity. With the AssetTags in form of a Barcode and the Scanner in the App we can use a Cellphone to easily assign an employee hardware, check the inventory for replacement equipment and always have a good overview of where equipment is currently situated.

Nachteile

The Software needed us to rethink inventory tracking a little, as each item had to be implemented as its own asset. A function to add a number of assets to a single item with multiple asset ids / tags would give a better overview of the inventory.

Vorteile

The software is free, does everything we need it to do. Looks professional, allows for reporting for management. Is a real win IT wise. We switched from a few Asset management systems that were free. This one blows them out of the water. I manage the MSP operations for my company. This allows me to manage multiple sites uniquely. put notes on equipment for maintenance, check in / out equipment to individual users or locations. You can even break down the locations by rooms / area's or floors or in theory the desk that the equipment sits at. will help calculate depreciation of equipment, for tax purposes at the end of the year.

Nachteile

It's good. My only concern is when something is free your the product.
I'm curious to know what they are skimming off of the database to sell our information.
Yes i feel obligated to buy their labels for my assets, whcih isn't required. I just do it because I WANT to pay them back for this great service. Still the skeptic in me is still waiting for the gotcha.

Vorteile

This is an very well designed asset database tool with an intuitive user interface. It's smartphone app is also rock solid and works way better than dragging around a barcode scanner. We started with the free version and grew into the paid version (cost covered by tag purchases). Asset tiger is light years ahead and far lower cost than the paid platform we had been using. This is the solution we had been looking for and it continues to improve with new features and capabilities.

Nachteile

Lacks Multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature for account security. Does not include a feature for tracking issued consumables.

Warum AssetTiger gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu AssetTiger

Vorteile

Ease of use, good data base with great search functions

Nachteile

The program works very well no cons to this point

Vorteile

This AM software has a million features that you should be paying for, but the tool is free. There are a ton of canned reports and you can customize them or make your own. Check things in, check them out. Track when they are broken or fixed. Attach all of your photos and purchasing documents to the asset in the tool.

I thought it was great and then I found the auditing feature. What??? You can use this tool to perform an audit, and it's free?

I found a data mismatch in a report and sent it in to the support team. They fixed it...and fast. It was like support from a paid product, but this product is free.

Take my money already! Asset Tiger is fantastic!

Nachteile

As some have stated, there is a limited amount of documentation on some of the more complex features. You just have to suss it out yourself. But that's fine because you learn by making mistakes and by configuring and trying the tool. Once you are done figuring it out, you know the tool that much better.

Vorteile

The assets management options like assets tracking, depreciation, maintenance schedule.

Nachteile

The way to do movement or reservations, this module is unfriendly.

Vorteile

The best strength is ease of use and versatility of use

Nachteile

I don't really like the graphics and the few platform updates

Vorteile

I like that the software is free as long as labels are purchased through them

Nachteile

Being able to add new companies/locations when trying to check out an asset that was scanned, you have to back all the way out and create the site before you can then go back to the assed and check it out to that new location. If you could create from the asset screen that would be preffered.

Vorteile

Tracking equipment is easy and barcode integration is appreciated.

Nachteile

Search terms don’t always bring up things I’m looking for and creating employee users can be tedious. Also some features like reservations and finding items and employee use history could be refined.

Vorteile

Besides being free, what I really like about this offering is how packed with features it is. It is so customizable. I can set up any category I want and include some to show up only if I make certain choices. You can run and automate reports, set column order to your preferences, set specific roles for others and so much more. I got asset tags from myassettag.com and ended up with this wonderful software to support me after the purchase.

Nachteile

I have not found anything that I do not like about this software yet. It functions well, is never down and support is good.

Vorteile

Very easy to setup users with an excel template. The app works great for new items with tags. You can scan the tag and then set it up right away on your phone when it's not already in the system.

Nachteile

I would like an easier way to check out and check in items. It just seems there are too many clicks to get to the check out option.

Vorteile

When everyone uses the system the way it should be everything works fine.

Nachteile

It will log you out and need to log in again.

Vorteile

It's very user friendly and they've really thought out what user's need.

Nachteile

I'd like to be able to delete the Location tracker as we don't use it but other than that, I'm very happy.

Vorteile

Free to use under 250 pieces of asset, very easy to use and customize to your needs.
You can create your own labels (I did QR Codes, printed with P-Touch) and it works great.
The mobile APP is simple to use.

We use AssetTiger to manage our shared tools and test equipments: we always know who's in possession of what.

Nachteile

Been using the tool since 2 months and I don't have a bad thing to say.

Vorteile

I like this software for asset management but I don't know if I love it. There are so many options that I get tired of looking through them. Wonderful customer service. I just call them whenever I have a question.

Nachteile

The reports are lacking. I am a numbers guy and I like to see reports in a million different ways.

Vorteile

Great use of Asset tags, scheduling and emailing the person who will be using the asset. The Dashboard gives you all the information you will need to evaluate and asses what is in-house and what is not. Great tool for any business, school,equipment management.

Nachteile

Integration with other software such as team support.

Vorteile

All of the available functions right out of the gate and everything is free! You cannot get a better value anywhere else. This is how I envision companies are supposed to act.

Nachteile

Some things like uploading a new template if you are using one ID for a single employee seems to overwrite existing data for the tag, or I have not yet figured out how to properly handle the system.

Vorteile

I like that it's web-based so I can access my inventory from anywhere. It's also easy to use and has many features that I like!

Nachteile

There are some features I'd like to see, but no dislikes at the moment.
