How Euladox compares

This page compares Euladox ITAM and Euladox Helpdesk with other tools on the market, one area at a time. It is for IT and procurement teams deciding where to spend. For an independent look at ten tools, including Lansweeper, ServiceNow and Flexera, see our SAM tools comparison.

Network inventory scanning

Compared with: Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, BMC, Splunk, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit

How Euladox differs:

1. Most vendors query systems with standard protocols: SNMP, WMI, WinRM and SSH. Euladox uses all of them. Because it focuses on total IT asset management, it goes further, with special adaptors for MS SQL Server, MS Windows Server, VMware vCenter, IBM LPAR virtualization, Oracle Database, Oracle WebLogic and Middleware, Oracle E-Business Suite, IBM DB2, IBM WebSphere, Adobe Creative Suite, Quest software and more.
2. It has a built-in project planner for network discovery, so entities, locations and network segments are defined in advance.
3. Discovery can start within minutes of installing Euladox.

Centralized IT asset database

Compared with: Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, BMC, Splunk, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit

How Euladox differs:

1. The vendors above provide raw data, meaning data from querying systems over the protocols, with no added intelligence.
2. Euladox gives a view of the raw data, as other vendors do. It also gives data views after normalization:
3. Recognition of virtualization technologies.
4. Server model recognition against a master catalogue of more than 3000 servers.
5. Software recognition according to licensing definitions.

IT asset management

Compared with: Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, BMC, Splunk, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit, Flexera

How Euladox differs:

1. One set of vendors gives you raw discovery data to use with ITSM products. Their asset lifecycle functionality is an afterthought, added to meet tender requirements, and it is slim.
2. Another set sells full ITSM and ITAM products with complete ITAM functionality, but the implementation is generally very complex, similar to an ERP project.
3. Euladox is built for ITAM and quick implementation. The aim is that you start discovering assets within hours of installation and have a full ITAM implementation in a few weeks.
4. It covers the whole asset lifecycle from deployment to retirement. That includes discovery, hardware and software information, licence compliance, warranty, AMC, notifications for planned events, contract management and IMAC information through incident management.

IT helpdesk and service desk

Compared with: Freshservice, Freshdesk, Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, BMC, Splunk, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit, Oracle Service Cloud

How Euladox differs:

1. We admit there is not much to separate us here. We follow ITIL guidelines, as quite a few others do.
2. We built the application on a large number of practical use cases as well as publicly accepted standards.
3. It is quick to implement. You can set up categories, initial templates, email settings and users within hours of installing it. See Euladox Helpdesk IM.

Software licence management

Compared with: Snow Software, Aspera, Flexera, and also ManageEngine, Lansweeper, Freshservice, Symphony Summit

How Euladox differs:

1. Two sets of vendors offer SAM functionality: SAM specialists, and network discovery and service management tools with a little SAM functionality.
2. Euladox is a SAM specialist application with the features needed for software licence management.
3. Euladox may be one of the few applications with adaptors that help customers manage licence compliance for specific publishers.

Active Directory management

Compared with: Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit

How Euladox differs:

1. Some vendors have extensive Active Directory management and reporting tools.
2. Euladox has a module for day-to-day Active Directory tasks that makes users and agents more productive.
3. We find it more intuitive and action oriented than competing offerings.

Contract management

Compared with: Lansweeper, ManageEngine, ServiceNow, BMC, Splunk, Spiceworks, Symphony Summit, Aspera, Snow Software, Apptus, Oracle, SAP

How Euladox differs:

1. Euladox has a comprehensive contract management module that goes further than the ITAM, ITSM and SAM tools above.
2. Beyond contract preparation, we compare its features with products from Oracle, SAP, Apptus and iCertis.
3. It can be the single repository for all contracts, agreements and purchases across the organisation.

Oracle licence management consulting

Compared with: Palisade Compliance, Miro Consulting, Redbricks Consulting, Konnagr, b-Lay, KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY, SoftwareOne
