Asset Tiger

Only used his for a while, can’t for-see any shortcomings just yet. I will update this review if I come across anything.

This is by far the best “middle ground” asset management software. Positives: It’s fairly easy to set up; The scanning is pretty smooth; Lots of customization and tailoring to your needs; CSV, Excel, and PDF exports; Reports Negatives: Glitchy at times. Tried to search for a person/employee and nothing happened. Closed out app, tried again, nothing; the app sometimes gets in a hung state and is unable to do anything until you close the app and even that that doesn’t always work; the FREAKING LOGIN PROBLEM IS THE WORST. Sorry, this is possibly the worst design of this app. If you login via Google, you will login seemingly all. The. Time. Closed the app for more than 5 minutes? Login. Closed the app? Login. Sneezed too hard??? Login. Oh, and every login is paired with a Captcha challenge. Hey, AssetTiger, use passkeys! That’s what they’re designed for! Oh, want to send an email to someone? Captcha. So EVERY time someone checks a device out and you want to email them a record, complete ANOTHER captcha. Honestly, if there were another option besides AssetTiger at this price level, I’d switch in a HEARTBEAT. I’m even still considering just going back to managing it manually via spreadsheet. At least then I wouldn’t have to login to my spreadsheet every 5 minutes.

It does what it says on the tin, but this app is so needlessly difficult to use. I am almost always without my laptop while performing inventory audits so I pretty much have to use the mobile app. The problem is that it signs me out. Every. Single. Time. I lock my phone. You know, as any sane, rational person might do when moving from classroom to classroom between scans. Devs, PLEASE fix this. It just makes this app a massive pain to use.

After setting up an account on the computer and setting up employees with the app I’m able to track tools, vehicles, and equipment with Asset Tiger. It’s extremely fast updating across platforms once a change is made, super in-depth customizations allows me to get a notification or email anytime someone checks out or checks in equipment. I can send daily or weekly reports to know what equipment is at which job-site and know who checked out what tools and what vehicle they’re in. I’m beyond impressed. AND it’s 100% FREE for the first 250 assets. Once you go above that it’s $120 a year for 500 assets. That is super affordable. After putting asset tags on everything, all it takes for an employee to check in/check out equipment is for them to open the app and scan the barcode on the tag, then they can check out the equipment to their vehicle or a job site, or check it back into inventory. Before I was using a spreadsheet and it took so much time track everything and update the sheet, but now it’s extremely fast and I can send an email to an employee to remind them to turn in tools or equipment. This has saved me so much time and made my life so much simpler. I’m so impressed with this asset management app.

I think it’s great that I have to help Google identify bikes, busses, and fire hydrants every time I want to check an asset out to an employee. I love clicking tiny squares that take forever to load and then have to repeat the process because there were 2 pixels of Stop Light that I couldn’t identify. One time I had to do the Captcha 4 times in a row! Thanks Asset Tiger! I love this new “security feature” so much!

Love the quality of my asset tag, love the features of the app and database, but scanning is tough. Really need the ability to be able to zoom in by picking the different camera options on the iPhone. As it is, your hand and phone end up creating shadows when try to get close for a scan. Half the time typing the number is faster but that’s not ideal. Otherwise it works well and the app is the easiest way to add photos of inventory items. So it’s great to have, just fix the scanning.

That app works well enough but it keeps signing me out every time I close the app. Very frustrating.

I have no idea who thought this was a good idea but the new update has ruined my check in process. I can no longer use my external scanner to scan in all items. I now have to come back after each scan to tap “add”. This takes a lot of time when scanning in 40+ items.

Please change icon and logo to something more professional, looks silly to give it out and say this is how I track all our $ equipment Otherwise it’s great so far !

Asset list does not show any assets, while the dashboard shows the right amount. Not optimized to use the full screen on bigger phones.
