Some of the systems are easier to use because their sole purpose is asset management. MMSoft Pulseway was the easiest overall setup we tried. GoCodes is extremely simple to use, but consider that you need to remember to apply and scan in the stickers. You must have the stickers applied in order to track the assets. Provide a checklist and your training staff can do this. SysAid and BMC Track-It! are fully featured helpdesk support tools, each including a user-facing portal for reporting and tracking helpdesk tickets. The user interfaces (UIs) are more complicated, though, involving nesting concepts that make it harder to see all of your assets in one view. A fully integrated helpdesk system to complement your asset management might be worth the tradeoff of a simplified UI for your business.

Asset Panda

BMC Track-It! and SysAid are examples of customizable systems that might be a good fit because they do offer customization and APIs; other systems are configurable without any coding. This means the best value for your company is going to depend on the assets you are tracking and on the capability of the people you have working for you. It will also depend on their availability to customize the product and perform setup. Asset Panda offers support at all purchase levels, giving smaller businesses the answers they need. Asset Panda is in between a solution nearly anyone can use (like GoCodes) and a system where you might need coding ability to take full advantage of the available features.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk

Bottom Line: A lightweight combination of helpdesk and asset management features, SolarWinds Web Help Desk lacks a few features that larger organizations will need, but makes up for it with an easy-to-use user interface and a nice price.

ServiceNow

Bottom Line: ServiceNow asset management is usable from a features perspective, but is burdened by a complex user interface that's mostly the result of it being part of a much larger business application framework.

InvGate Assets

Bottom Line: InvGate Assets has a solid feature set when it comes to IT asset management, adequately covering both hardware and software. But many folks might opt to keep looking due to a rough user interface and difficulties generating certain reports, as well as an on-site server backend requirement.
