Reviews of SLASCONE
The most innovative, easy to use and cost effective solution with reseller portal.
Comments: Slascone has been very active from the beginning to realize our project with the licensing and has been and still is very helpful. They take the time and remain friendly, no matter how much you don't know about programming, like me, and ask 10 times. It is also very fun to work with the people from Slascone.
Pros:
Very easy to use. License activations, deactivations, renewals are done very quickly online, without the need to update or send customer any files. Separate access for partners and resellers, who can independently manage their licenses for their own customers, is very well solved. We have a great overview of our licenses. During the first implementation, Slascone was always there to help us. As far as licensing is concerned, best decision made. The cool part is also in comparison to our previous licensing, that the licensing runs directly through our own software and we can now independently license our new products quite easily. The customer starts our software, enters the license key that we generate via Slascone and that's it. Also cool to see if customer is working with our software or not. It is also very much appreciated that from the beginning things are explained that cannot be realized, instead of just trying to sell the solution.
Cons:
Not until now. From what I've heard from our developers, integrating Slscone was easy. And once it's integrated, we can easily use the code for other products. Maybe the web interface for licensing could be designed in a way that you can customize it.

Thank you so much Bircan, it is a pleasure working with you and your team!
Alternatives Considered:
Slascone Licensing
Pros:
I really like the web UI. It's very intuitive and easy to use (especially compared to the competition).Also the integration into C# was straight forward due to good documentation and a NuGet package that does most of the heavy lifting.
Cons:
The only thing that I would wish for is better access to the raw analytical data. Many things you can only see digested (in form of plots) in the WebUI (or at least I did not figure out yet how to get a more detailed export).But regardless, considering how well the Team responds to feature requests, I am sure this is just a matter of time till I can get this as well :).

Hello, thank you for your kind review, and for the feedback. We would like to underline that separate test and production environments have always been available, please contact us if you need a test environment.
Good choice. Cloud native, simple and effective.
Pros:
It is a very complete system, 100% in the cloud and very effective. It separates well the concepts of license, product, versions, distributors, customers... which allows you to adjust the platform to your needs. Very easy to use and set up.
Cons:
The user interface has room for improvement ;)
Hervorragender Support und Proaktive Feature-Implementierung
Pros:
I am impressed by the SLASCONE support. The response times are remarkably short and the answers are highly competent and efficient. One experience that I remember particularly positively is that the SLASCONE team proactively informed us about a new feature that might be of interest to us. This proactive approach gave me the impression that SLASCONE has the needs of its users in mind. What particularly sets SLASCONE apart is its extremely solution-oriented approach and systemic thinking. For me, they are a reliable and trustworthy business partner.
Cons:
I have not had any negative experiences so far.
Licensing API that works as expected
Pros:
Based on previous experience, we decided to implement a proper licensing solution from the very start of our young software product. Having limited time and resources to deal with such a non functional issue, we searched for an out of the box solution. Our requirements are still elementary (product activation, feature bits), however having concluded a relatively seamless integration, we are now confident that we can address any future requirements pretty easily.
Cons:
We are a small company, and currently use just a subset of SLASCONE's functionality. So far, we have not faced any constraints or restrictions. There are cheaper options out there, but not sure if they offer similar functionality.
Alternatives Considered:
Great bussiness partner and licensing software provider
Comments: We are really happy working together with SLASCONE. They support is on really high level, we appreciate how fast they react to problems but also feature requests.
Pros:
SLASCONE has all the features we needed, from key based licenses, user based licenses to offline licensing support. You can set up also own instance, which is a great solution if you want to keep all data under control. SLASCONE tool is easy to learn and very elastic. You can customize it to fulfill your internal processes. And also it integrates with Business Central, which is in our case quite important.
Cons:
We are really satisfied with the tool, so nothing particular right now.

Great to work with you guys!
Super Working
Comments: As one of SLASCONE's earliest clients, we collaborated closely with their development team during the product's earliest iterations, particularly in the area of use metrics. First, we used SLASCONE in order to gather usage data from one of our desktop applications. Then, we utilized SLASCONE for entitlement management for a new SaaS product that is currently in production. We are now transitioning our desktop application from an in-house licensing system to SLASCONE. Overall, not only does SLASCONE save time for our development team, but also for our backoffice.
Pros:
Consumption-based licensing Deployment on our Azure infrastructure 24/7 Support Reseller Portal
Cons:
You cannot implement floating licensing for completely offline clients.

Cons:
I am sure there are some, but nothing really relevant to our use case.

Slascone licensing review
Comments: We were searching for a product management tool rather than a simple license generator. We were able to test and evaluate SLASCONE fairly quickly using the SaaS offering. Our biggest concern with licensing management solutions was the integration with Dynamics365. The SLASCONE team set it up in a matter of hours, so this was important to us. Since we are very familiar and internally use Microsoft Azure, being able to deploy the solution in our own Azure subscription was key. We are confident that SLASCONE can handle large amounts of data. In addition to that, although analytics was not part of our initial goal, we are more than happy to use the out of the box features.
Pros:
Very easy to set up and integrate in our mobile app (both iOS and Android). Intuitive, role-based UI that does not require training. Out-of-the-box analytics with easy customization options.
Cons:
Limited features for completely offline environments.
Extremely satisfied with Slascone. Powerful and easy to use.
Comments:
Although the initial project scope was to find a reliable licensing
service (our licensing requirements are rather trivial), ideally in
Azure, we were impressed with slascone's analytics feature. Currently,
slascone is a very important tool for the entire organization.
Pros:
Growing functionality Great support Analytics Azure Integration Very helpful with feature requests
Cons:
No billing and invoicing functionality available.
Perfect solution
Pros:
The support by SLASCONE was perfect. The solution is easy to use and easy to implement.
