Pick Foreman if…
Foreman is aimed at system administrators managing physical or virtual servers across on-premise and cloud environments. It is better suited to people with Linux system administration knowledge than to newcomers to server management.

iVentoy suits administrators deploying operating systems across multiple networked machines, especially when unattended installs or architecture-based filtering are useful. Check the free edition's client and commercial-use limits against your deployment needs.
