We use the Freshservice Agent, which is great, but unfortunately the Software module can’t really back it up properly. It’s great that it creates visibility into everything that’s installed, but there needs to be a way to group softwares together, or to note that specific softwares should be translated as another. 

At the moment, the agent imports the full version name of every software, which creates separate softwares for each version of the same software. In the example below, we want to keep Beyond Compare 4, but all listed versions beneath should also be “translated” to, or grouped into, Beyond Compare 4. 
 


Simply removing the ones in the list that we don’t want managed doesn’t work, since that means we won’t have visibility into those versions.

This is an issue for us with all our softwares, and we have about 250 of them in our organisation…

Please do something about this, because until it’s fixed, we can’t use the Software module properly.​

Agree to this! Is there any update on this? We have 30,000++ Software assets beings scanned and a lot of them are duplicate because of versioning.

Unfortunately I haven’t heard a single peep from anyone at Freshworks regarding this feature, nor any future updates/upgrades to the Software module. We currently don’t use it at all other than for Service Items :(

I’ll raise this to our Tech Account Manager, will update you too once I got an answer from them.

Any update on this?

 

We also need to be able to group multiple versions together.

It’s been nearly a year and still nothing, I’m afraid… Please bring this up to your account manager as well.

Thanks for raising this, Nezeki.  We are about to pull out software into the system next month.  I can already see that this will be an issue for us.  Raising with our TAM and CSM as a priority.
