IT Auditing software Centenial Discovery vs Snow

[Dazza_Random]

Hi,

We are currently using Centennial Discovery as our IT auditing software and it will cost us a small fortune to renew the license.

So our current software reseller has suggested we move to "snow" please can people give me their thoughts on this; has anyone used Snow software before and give me the good and bad points about it.

I have Googled around but snow software reviews/forums seem quite hard for me to find!

Thanks

I thought the licence for Centennial was perpetual it was just support and software assurance (i.e. latest versions/upgrades?) you lose if you dont renew?

Yea; that's what happened and we/I just found out so Centennial are charging us a small fortune to renew - so that why we are now looking at Snow. As its the same price and Snow looks much better - but I need to know more !

I would like someone to tell me about their user experience with it.

Thanks

Our version of Centennial Discovery is over 2 years old as an idiotic IT support assistant let it lapse 2 years ago (I have been in the job 3months now-first job in IT) we have 250 desktops and have 200 staff plus 700 students - I don't have the time at the moment to trial it but I may well do soon. In total our IT department has 3 of us in supporting a lot of users imho.

Basically the price is cheaper slightly to have a days training of Snow and move from Centennial to Snow...

Also our centennial doesn't audit software licenses - no idea how to make it do this...

We are just implementing Snow now.

I'm not really involved with the project but from what I've experienced so far:

a) The interface is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
b) The support is absolutely first class

Hi,

What did your workplace use before and can I be cheeky and ask what did your work compare and why did they choose Snow over anything else on the table...
