Security, Integrations, and Support Review
Security
Asset Panda offers you strong enterprise-grade security with role-based access, MFA support, and configurable user permissions.
Ideal for companies needing compliance and audit trails.
Asset Tiger, while secure for basic use, lacks MFA and custom roles. Permissions must be manually managed, which isn’t scalable. Here’s what a Redditor has to say about Asset Tiger’s security posture:

Bottom line: Panda is built for secure, regulated environments. And Asset Tiger is only suitable for smaller teams with minimal security needs.
Overall Rating:
-
Asset Panda: 5/5
-
Asset Tiger: 2/5
Integrations

Asset Panda integrates with ITSM, HR, and SSO tools like Zendesk, Salesforce, Azure AD, and Okta. It also offers API access for custom workflows. If you need automation and centralized control, consider Asset Panda.

Customer Support
-

Here’s a Reddit user talking about Asset Panda’s support team:
Source: Reddit
Asset Tiger offers basic email support only—no live chat or phone help. Response times can be slow, and help is often generic.
Bottom Line: In short, Panda offers white-glove support suited to business-critical environments. Tiger’s support is passable for a free tool, but you’ll need to be more self-reliant.
