  • Device discovery and inventory for easy real-time assessment of hardware and software on all devices network-wide.
  • True compliance assessment permits IT administrators to manage multiple software titles with various licensing structures and reconcile software installations with license ownership.
  • Patch inventory tracks installed security updates and Windows service packs on computers connected to the network.
  • Dell warranty integration automatically retrieves warranty information for managed Dell computers and alerts administrators of pending expirations.
  • Alerts and notifications of PC inventory and software license compliance issues and the automatic creation of a “to do” list for achieving compliance.
  • Dashboards display network activity including recent changes and outstanding tasks.
  • Plug and play deployment allows the appliance to immediately begin providing hardware and software inventories.
  • Intuitive Web-based user interface accessible from the convenience of any desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
