Total Network Inventory
Total Network Inventory scans, accounts for, and manages devices on a network.
What Total Network Inventory is
Total Network Inventory scans, accounts for, and manages devices on a network. It collects hardware configurations, installed software, and user accounts from network nodes or IP ranges, and can connect its scanner to Active Directory. Supported computers include Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD, along with network devices. Agentless discovery covers hardware, software, and network assets. Scheduled scans run at chosen times, while Change Log comparisons show additions, removals, and configuration modifications. Reports can be printed, exported, or customized by selecting objects and fields. Software inventory lists installed versions and counts, then compares copies in use with license coverage. Data can be stored in a dedicated hard-drive folder, with database-backed storage for multi-user access. Deployment is on-premises. The $90.00 USD one-time license includes one year of updates, and a 30-day trial is listed.
