Alloy Navigator

Game-changing system for Equipment and Property tracking

Kommentare: Overall, I'm extremely pleased with Alloy Navigator and our experience so far. This system is going to facilitate our future growth. It has already saved us time and prevented property loss. Once we have it fully integrated into our workflows and are using all features, it will be indispensable to daily work life.

Vorteile:

The customization ability of Alloy is very impressive. We have not found anything that we have not been able to change so that it suits our needs. We are not even currently using Alloy to its fullest capacity yet and it has transformed workflows. Being able to track property and equipment to remote employees within the different categories is so helpful. I appreciate the flexibility of the system, once you learn the different levels of details it contains. The customer support is fantastic and really responsive. The training we received saved so many missteps when we were setting up the system. I really felt prepared to go live. Of course, we have made changes since startup as we realized different views or categorizations of items would work better, and the system makes it easy to adjust. My favorite section is the Consumables section. I am finding more and more ways to use this section. I feel that once we integrate purchasing into our Alloy workflow, our data will be so invaluable.

Nachteile:

The only real problem I've found so far is that the Inventory Items and the Equipment Lending Library don't sync. This has been a little limiting, but the support team is working to correct that so I anticipate no problems in the future. There is a big learning curve with Alloy if you have not worked with a similar system. If you are new to Asset tracking systems, I highly recommend taking advantage of the training sessions. They are very in-depth and will prepare you well. Some of the categorizations required with Category and Type are a little redundant. Especially in the Consumable Products section. It took me several tries to figure out the best way to input these items to make them work for us.

Doron's Alloy Review

Kommentare: Overall the application is solid, reliable. I have used it for the last 10 years and don't have plans of changing anytime soon.

Vorteile:

Software is reliable, user friendly and you get the results quickly.

Nachteile:

Some built-in features are limited and require alterations.

Alloy has a lot of useful features, but is not the easiest to use

Vorteile:

It has a lot of useful features such as the equipment lending library and the asset management features. I also like how users can send tickets in via the help desk portal which has made it easier for us to keep track of work orders.

Nachteile:

Customer support used to be really good, but lately they haven't been. For example, when I would run into an issue, I would look it up in their knowledge base and they don't have what I am looking for. So, I would send in a help desk ticket and sometimes it would take days just to hear something back.

Alloy does the job

Kommentare: The majority of our IT department lives inside Alloy. It is simple to use for the average technician and the user portal is good as well. The integration of software allocation and databases of all hardware on our network is a must.

Vorteile:

- Alloy user portal and technician portals are easy to use - Runs quickly and smoothly - Easy to import users from AD - Email integration for alerts on new tickets and updates on existing tickets - Training that Alloy offers is well thought out and contains tons of information.

Nachteile:

- Customer Support can take 1-3 days to get back to you - The backend of Alloy is very confusing. Trying to change simple things can be extremely difficult since there is no search functionality and no documentation online. - If you want custom features added it is going to cost a decent chunk of money.

If keeping track of everything is what you want, this product is for you! And I mean everything!

Kommentare: Alloy keeps track of a ll of our inventory, software changes, support incidents, knowledge base, etc. The information in Alloy puts all the necessary information in one place to manage our IT environment easily and efficiently.

Vorteile:

Alloy can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be based on how you set it up. The flexibility and depth are what I love most about it. You can really keep track of everything in your IT environment and you can customize it to fit your specific needs. Other products make you use their preconfigured categories and workflows, etc. While Alloy comes preconfigured with almost everything you need, you can add or remove just about anything you want and build your own workflows to automate the system.

Nachteile:

I find that the more flexible a product is, the more cumbersome it can be. Since Alloy is extremely flexible, the set up can be a little complicated. However, they have a great support team to help you when you need it.
