In their own words
GLPI
GLPI is an IT management platform for helpdesk tickets, asset inventory, and service management. Users can create incident or request tickets and assign them to a group, profile, or individual. Its service workflows include problem and change management, planning, recurring tickets, statistics, and custom forms. Asset records cover hardware, software and licenses, network equipment, certificates, domains, clusters, and databases. Other tools include project workflows with Gantt or Kanban views, a knowledge base, reservations, reports, and saved searches. GLPI offers eight profile types and standard or self-service interfaces; its self-service interface is free for end users. Organizations can choose cloud or on-premise deployment. The public-cloud offer has a 45-day trial without obligation or a credit card. Public Cloud costs €19 a month per IT agent, with one billed agent minimum; Private Cloud costs €21 a month per agent and requires at least 25 billed agents. The FAQ says on-premise GLPI has no licensing fees or limit on users or technicians.
Open iT LicenseAnalyzer
Open iT LicenseAnalyzer measures and analyzes software use to help organizations understand license consumption and manage usage. It tracks users, timing, duration, and concurrency, with reports drillable by application, feature, user, host, department, or session. Its three functionality levels are Runtime Usage, True Active Usage, and Managed Usage. Runtime Usage includes real-time and historical reporting, project-level application metering, and web application metering. True Active Usage uses CPU, I/O, keyboard, and mouse activity to assess whether software is actively used. Managed Usage adds automated license harvesting, controls to suspend and resume sessions, user priorities, and scheduling. The product supports over 100 license managers and measures usage across more than 6,000 license manager enabled, standalone, and SaaS applications. It offers on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployment options, and can simulate several licensing models without infrastructure changes. Pricing is on request, and a trial link is offered; the Fast-Track Cloud Trial evaluates Level 1 using FlexNet data and is limited to FlexNet license servers.
