“Powerful license reporting coverage”
Pros
Right out of the box, SAO supports reporting for more than 15 different license management technologies which is a huge advantage when you need to get your reporting environment up and running efficiently as quickly as possible. It also offers a wide range of usage reports so there's plenty of flexibility to choose the format that works best for analyzing and reporting on license usage.
Cons
When it comes to disaster recovery some licenses are distributed across multiple servers and that makes it hard to easily merge large volumes of license usage data into a single report.
