What BelManage is
BelManage helps organizations track software licenses and maintenance costs while monitoring cybersecurity status and configuration details. It automatically builds a central repository covering software, hardware, and security configuration. Asset features include license optimization, virtual machine dependency mapping, server software discovery, an operational CMDB, and a software catalog. Configuration monitoring can identify authorized and unauthorized applications by version, record additions and removals of software and hardware, and compare systems with standard images. Listed security and audit capabilities include NIST controls and benchmarks, FISMA compliance, and vulnerability assessments and scans. BelManage can run on premises, on a customer's cloud, or as SaaS hosted by Belarc. Monitored clients include Windows, macOS, Linux, and many Solaris versions, with installable and agent-less options. Communication uses encrypted HTTPS; PKI/CAC authentication is supported for U.S. Government customers, and Domain or SSH user credentials are not required. On-premises computer licensing is $10 a year, while SaaS and server plans have separate yearly prices and feature differences.
