Asset Panda Reviews

Pros

This asset management program is great since it is so simple to use. It's great that you may make new groups to accommodate the evolving demands of your company. To keep tabs on who has custody of these PCs, I utilize Asset Panda.

Cons

Asset Panda's drawbacks are minor and hardly worth considering. The dashboard component might use some work as it is not all-inclusive and the interface could use some cosmetic and functional updates.

Pros

No set-up fee.
Our team's data always remains protected.
Multiple users can use it in my office.
All users find it easy to use.

Cons

It doesn't tell if any user had double posted
It's photo editor needs improvement.
Extremely high volume business may not be able to use it.

Pros

Simple interface, flexible, ease of use.

Cons

Not as many configuration possibilities for integrations

Reasons for Switching to Asset Panda

Price point and because it integrates with existing systems

Pros

It's nice to be able to search for the stock items we have on hand and see who has checked out which tools.

Cons

It can take a long time to load and will freeze up if multiple people are using it at the same time, which is common at our company.

Pros

We previously used Asset Panda at another employer & knew it was so useful & so easy to set up, he had to bring it in here.

Cons

NOTHING - everything works as promised, easy to amend as needed, easy to update, easy to do everything!

Pros

I love the user-friendly UI and ease of use for both entering and modifying assets into the system.

Cons

There's not much to not like as it makes for a seamless experience, especially the barcode scanning feature built into the app.

Pros

I love the barcode printing, labelling, and scanning. This allows for real-time physical asset tracking and inventory management. No more losing or guessing where our equipment is!

Cons

I didn't like the limitations regarding in-depth and detailed parent-child asset relationships. This was a necessity for us as we needed to "nest" equipment inside other equipment and be able to track all of that together and also separately.

Visual Planning

Reasons for Choosing Asset Panda

Needed to have more automation

Reasons for Switching to Asset Panda

We ultimately chose Visual Planning, but we miss the barcode and in-depth inventory tracking software

Pros

Asset Panda is a useful tool for tracking and managing assets. I like that I can create custom fields and generate reports

Cons

Could have more customization options and better integrations with other tools.

Pros

It’s so easy to use and set up. We were able to train people on this quite easily

Cons

Purchasing it took a little but we were good once we did

Pros

Easily Manage our inventory, So much more efficient in product replacement and ordering. Customizable interface is great!

Cons

customer support is not as great as some other products.

Pros

It made my job so much easier that I don't know where I would be with out it so amazing I would love to tell everyone about it

Cons

I have not had any failures or anything with this this is an amazing product

Pros

Once setup it is very easy to use and way less paper work envloved.

Cons

In our particular case we have users set to only have the Assets tab, that means they don't even have the settings page as users use SSO and it is not needed. The biggest issue is that it brings users to a total asset count page that is irrelevant and confuses the user when logging in and trying to sign for assets. All they need to do is click the "Asset" tab at the top but with it being the only tab they don't think its a button. I just wish there was a global home page settings for user templates instead of having to go in and set users manually. Users come and go often so its no ideal for us to make that change to each new user.

So in summary I would love to see a global home page option for users templates.

Pros

When we rolled out Asset Panda within our organization we had help the whole way from the support team. We have used it for more than 2 years now not only for asset tracking, but for inventory management, and reservations. It has solved many headaches within our organization and saved countless hours, and even more money by helping us easily track location and status of equipment.

Cons

While Asset Panda does have many features, some of the features such as the reservation side of things is not fully optimized. The main feature set of Asset Panda is great (Asset tracking, and inventory management in our use case) but some of the "add-on" features are not as comprehensive and leave you wishing there was more functionality.

Reasons for Switching to Asset Panda

Cheaper cost and more feature set. The look of the user interface was also leaps ahead of the competition.

Pros

GUI interface ease of use, accessible across multiple locations as it is web-based. Easy to maintain and update assets and customize fields.

Cons

We do not have any cons with the product, we find it to suit our environment and needs perfectly.

WebCheckout

Reasons for Choosing Asset Panda

Costs were high with Footprints and we were also moving away from the ITSM solution to another solution so did not want to continue using it, we found AP to be easier to use and web-based, also costs were very inexpensive.

FootPrints

Pros

cloud-based asset tracking software is the most flexible, user-friendly, and customizable system available and supports integrations with the world's best software

Cons

Bit complex stricture and hard to find data in large project

Pros

It's ease of functionality and ability to get the job done.

Cons

Digital programs have taken away from writing things down.

Pros

Comprehensive reporting and analytics: Asset Panda offers advanced reporting capabilities and analytics for assets, allowing companies to gain valuable insights into asset usage and performance and achieve necessary improvements.

Cons

Cost: Depending on the size of the organization and the specific needs, the pricing of Asset Panda may be considered relatively high for some businesses, especially for small or budget-constrained companies.

Pros

The best part about this product is deployment which is very easy and straightforward, it makes the product attractive for small to medium size companies.

Cons

I was comparing the functionalities to other competitors, and some of the basic functions during creating of assets were missing and I couldn't find a way to customize it as I meant to.

Pros

Asset Panda combines tons of customization, reporting, and cloud connectivity. It also has support for mobile devices, android and IOS. The annual prices is also affordable.

Cons

Lacks few feature such as remote access to machines, network discovery and offline mode in mobile app

Pros

1) User Interface: Asset Panda is fairly simple to use and can integrate well with almost any environment - no matter how complex it is.

2) Mobile App: The great thing about Asset Panda is that it has a mobile app that you can use. The app makes it possible to scan barcodes, search for assets and even update them, if necessary, while you're on the move.

3) Audit Feature: Asset Panda has an Audit Feature that enables you to go in-depth and check out the timeline of what people did with their assets.

4) Budget Friendly: Asset Panda is like a turn-key inventory solution that allows you to design and build according to your own requirements, based on your environment. The best part is that you don't need to hire any developer. You even don't need to waste time on purchasing expensive licenses or hardware.

5) Cloud-Based: All data is saved on the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere and at anytime with your credentials.

Cons

1) Sessions Time-Out: Okay, in my opinion, the most annoying part about Asset Panda is that its' session timeouts are way too fast. If the time-out setting on the website could be increased, that would be amazing!

2) Barcode Scanner: I feel that the bar code scanner on mobile devices can be improved a bit.

Pros

Being a small/mid-sized business we have struggled to keep track of fixed assets along with operational assets. We have been unable to accumulate data and with Asset Panda's help it provided an affordable platform to begin transitioning to a more modernized and sophisticated way of management. Having an unlimited number of users was one of the key factors along with an effective application that could be leveraged on mobile devices. We continue to identify more ways to leverage this platform and feel like we get a lot of value for what we pay. The support team and onboarding group was and is very impressive and always get prompt and timely responses to help resolve a situation or question.

Cons

There can be some short comings on the reporting and wish it had a little more sophistication in the fixed asset accounting aspect but that is something we have been able to work around. No major complaints except we sometimes run across some configuration limitations but overall the framework is flexible for any and all industries that you can usually manage it and work around to a resolution.

Pros

Extraordinary experience from working with an account administrator to execution trained professional. This will assist us with following our resources for day camps, studios, and other events. I don't see what is going on where this product wouldn't meet the prerequisites. It is inconceivably adjustable and permits you to record any kind of resource.

Cons

My main test is the absence of restrictive fields while performing activities.

Pros

It is cloud based and can be accessed from any computer.

Cons

Adding our predefined forms is time consuming. And certain features/actions are not user friendly. I had to on a few occasions have a video call with a representative to walk me thorough a certain feature. Afterwards, I would have to review the video several times to complete what I needed.

Pros

This software is highly customizable, and has grown increasingly more robust over the last couple of years. It was easy for us to import all our old data and get started. We use it to track computer assets and inventory, and we have been able to tweak the setup to make it work better for us over the last 3 years as we learn more about what it can do, and what we need from the software.

Cons

There are some times in the screens were you can accidentally make changes to your whole inventory, rather than just a few items, and it's not really clear that would happen. They are working to improve that process, but that's been our biggest problem.

Pros

The customer was able to start getting value from AP in a few days, even when there wasn't enough information to feed into the system. Since they were previosuly doing no asset management at all, they were worried about having a very long adoption curve. The truth is they were able to put whatever basic information was available and the, day by day filling more as they were able to dedicate time to this task once they had no need for manual processes.
The customer has already in place a lot of Zendesk integrations, so they felt AP was a very nice new member of their IT ecosystem.
For me, the most value comes from the fact that they have not need any tech support for using the system, so consultancy time has been mostly focused on obtaining new information to put into the system.
The mobile app's integrated barcode scanner was an unexpected benefit which made the customer really happy.

Cons

The lack of a current working integration with Salesforce was an stopper for a bigger project with a new customer.
For some current customers that I'd like to offer AP as a new solution I have the problem with integration with GRC systems, mostly for compliance with ISO27000 and some other process oriented and cybersecurity frameworks. The API is currently not as friendly to use for this kind of integration.
