Network Inventory Advisor is a software that allows for agent-free inventory of PC networks. It can scan Windows, Mac OS X and Linux computers for custom inventory reports. Remote agentless scanning is performed.
With Network Inventory Advisor, you can group inventoried software titles by publisher, version, or software type with ease. Additionally, it allows software usage level status to be set (allowed, prohibited, must-have, etc.), and notes added to any software title. Sorting and filtering by multiple parameters, combined with flexible report building, make inventory management smooth and stress-free.
The latest version of Network Inventory Advisor includes automatic software changes tracking, meaning that when there's a software change on a node, you'll receive a special alert automatically. The software inventory program further discovers and tracks all hardware including CPU types and speeds, network adapters, peripherals, etc.
With Network Inventory Advisor, you can collect data on asset models & manufacturers, hard drives, video, audio, memory, motherboards, & more. This software can be installed in any network on a Windows PC, and with just several clicks, network scanning of even SNMP-powered nodes like printers, routers, and more can be accomplished. Users can schedule regular network scans with ease, and inventory reports can be received via email, uploaded to a server, or exported to a specified network location.
All in all, Network Inventory Advisor is a great software tool that makes inventory management more natural and helps IT managers keep better track of the assets under their purview. Highly recommended for any organization looking to streamline its inventory management process.
