Description of Total Network Inventory
Standardization of hardware and software--using the same systems and applications--makes supporting and managing computers easier.
But while this makes asset management especially useful for small businesses, the big names in the sector--such as IBM's Tivoli and Computer Associates' Unicenter Asset Management--are aimed at, and priced for, large enterprises. Softinventive Lab's Total Network Inventory doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a Tivoli or Unicenter, but the price--as low as $89--is right for a small business.
You install the downloaded software on one PC only; you don't need to install it on other computers on your network. But for TNI to survey all the PCs in your network
But after this one-time setup, the scanning wizard requires just a minute or two to survey each PC. When the scan is complete, you can view hardware configuration details, including attached peripheral devices; installed software, including Windows updates; user accounts; and other information such as shared resources like printers and files.
You may opt to manually add additional information for each PC scanned, such as date of purchase, price, and physical location. You can also have TNI prepare reports on any or all of the assets scanned.
TNI didn't drill down as deeply as I would have liked on a few hardware details. It identified SATA hard drives in a RAID array as being based on the SCSI interface. Customization options were somewhat limited.
A free evaluation copy of TNI lets you manage up to 25 networked devices for up to 30 days for managing up to 25 networked devices; after that, you?ll need to buy a license, which costs a reasonable $89 for that many devices. Licenses for larger networks are also available, including an unlimited worldwide license for $1699. TNI may not be perfect, but as an affordable tool for keeping tabs on your computer assets, it definitely beats a pen and notebook.
