| Purpose | Fing checks router vulnerabilities, scans open ports, and detects network threats continuously and automatically. | OCS Inventory scans, inventories, and categorizes IT assets, including hardware and software on machines. |
Fing may suit home users who want to check connected devices and router risks, as well as IT consultants, MSPs, and small businesses monitoring client networks. Its always-on option is for users able to run Fing Agent on Raspberry Pi, Docker, or NAS.
OCS Inventory suits IT administrators who need to track software and hardware across an organization, including devices found through network discovery. Teams should account for the technical skills that adapting the free package may require.
