Total Network Inventory vs. FlexNet Manager

Total Network Inventory is an on-premises software inventory and PC audit management solution designed for businesses of all sizes. It allows users to scan devices present on a network and provides a report detailing active operating systems, running processes, hardware, software and hotfixes. Total Network Inventory helps users manage inventory, software assets, and logs. The solution groups network assets and allows users to attach comments or other information to them. The reports generated by the system can be copied, printed or exported for further use.

Software is one of the major items on any IT expense budget. Industry analysts estimate software license and maintenance fees represent 20 to 35% of total enterprise IT spend. The approach for managing a software asset portfolio is typically inefficient, relying on a local approach instead of a global one, and frequently involves spreadsheets or other ad hoc methods. The lack of efficient software asset management processes exposes enterprises to software audit liabilities and overspending on licenses and maintenance.
