Steven Russman, publisher of ECPeb.com’s 2006 Tools Review Issue commented, “Faced with the task of evaluating and selecting an IT Asset repository, auto-discovery, compliance, software management or reporting tool, it’s hard to know where to start. Market research and user surveys reveal that compliance and cost management continue to top the list of concerns among IT asset, software and service managers. Appearance is important too, and users are looking for tools with easy-to navigate interfaces and lower cost of deployment, training and support. We also find business users demanding functionality and usability, shunning older-style interfaces and fat-client applications. We rate iValue Suite™ a 4.0 for a well-designed and intuitive user interface."
