License Dashboard is delighted to have had its ITAM toolset appraised for the third time by ITAM Review. Since the first review in 2012, the platform has continuously been developed and has evolved into a comprehensive ITAM solution to meet the growing demands of maturing ITAM roles. License Manager and License Dashboard Portal (LD Portal) enables SAM Managers to become a strategic partner for C-Suite decision-makers.
Inventory & Discovery
License Dashboard has always been discovery and inventory source agnostic, consuming data from incumbent IT management toolsets without the costs associated with buying, deploying and maintaining additional agents or technologies. Whilst we do have our own leading agent-based and agentless discovery tools should they be required; data from over 70 solutions such as Microsoft SCCM, VMware vCenter, Active Directory and Lansweeper can be enriched by our extensive software libraries to become both meaningful and useful in all areas of ITAM not just compliance.
“Flexible discovery via agent, agentless, and hybrid approaches are a key strength of this product.” – AJ Witt, The ITAM Review
Data Quality
Many business decisions and practices are reliant upon ITAM data, any gaps in quality or completeness introduce financial risk through inadvertent error or missed opportunity. Our audit centric approach, seamlessly combining data from multiple sources, allows you to fill in those gaps and complete the picture of your estate with all of its risks and opportunities
Scalability
From SMEs without dedicated ITAM teams to full-scale enterprises and customers with 175,000 seats, we offer an intuitive and low-maintenance approach to presenting ITAM data.
Reporting
We are proud that LD Portal meets requirements for Business Intelligence & Reporting for modern ITAM teams by balancing user requirements with data security
“License Dashboard Portal, is the standout highlight of this product and puts it significantly ahead of many of its competitors.” – AJ Witt, The ITAM Review
Powered by Qlik technology, LD Portal provides access to the in-depth, real-time data held in License Manager via intuitive visualizations. Data access is tailored for distinct user personas, this ensures data is always relevant to the stakeholder and where it might be sensitive, from a commercial or legislative perspective, controlled. For instance, C-Suite users served with holistic visualizations of performance, risk and opportunity, whereas IT can see more detailed information. Department-specific data can be accessed to department managers who are in charge of their own IT budgets. This is all accessible via the platform itself, rather than exported spreadsheets using SQL syntax, which protects sensitive data and meets regulatory demands.
User & Subscription licensing
Our partnership with Binadox enables managing SaaS per-user license assignments and consumption, along with dedicated optimisation for Microsoft Office 365 as well as an integration for bringing in Microsoft Azure usage information.

“It is best-in-class and sets a benchmark for other ITAM toolsets.” – AJ Witt, The ITAM Review
Rather than spending a day a month exporting data into other tools to prepare reports, License Manager 12 & LD Portal makes this all available.
