Network Inventory Advisor is an agent-free utility which was developed for efficient inventory of software, hardware and other IT assets in your network. It provides IT managers with rich functionality for an easy software licenses audit.
With Network Inventory Advisor it's possible to group inventoried software titles by publisher, version, software type, etc. You can also specify software usage status (allowed, prohibited, must-have, etc), add notes to any software title (for reminding, licensing or other purposes), sort and filter them by multiple parameters, and build flexible report.
Network Inventory Advisor also discovers and tracks all hardware in your network. You can easily collect data on your assets models & manufacturers, CPU types & speeds, hard drives, network adapters, motherboards, video, audio, memory, peripherals, & more.
Network Inventory Advisor can be installed in any network on a Windows PC. In just several clicks you can scan all the nodes remotely (including Mac computers, Linux machines, printers, routers, and other SNMP-powered nodes). You can switch between agentless scanning, or use a special remotely deployable agent utility to collect even more accurate data. It's possible even to add nodes manually if you have any standalone assets.
More than that you can easily schedule network scans with our PC inventory software and receive inventory reports to your e-mail, or have them uploaded to your server, or simply exported to specified network location.
The software generated comprehensive network reports within one click and you can easily export or print them.
