BeaverFlow CMDB

BeaverFlow CMDB provides a registry for configuration items such as physical devices, virtual machines, SaaS subscriptions, cloud resources, and installed software. Each item can record an owner, location, version, support contract, and lifecycle stage. A relationship graph maps dependencies and parent-child links, while change impact assessment identifies affected items and services. Listed capabilities include hardware and software inventory, cloud asset tracking, licence compliance, and lifecycle tracking. Discovery tools and infrastructure-as-code pipelines, including Terraform and Ansible use cases, can keep records updated. The CMDB logs item creation, modification, and retirement with a timestamp, user, and reason, and produces a per-item health indicator from incident history, age, support status, and open vulnerabilities. Mobile apps are listed for iOS and Android. Shared and dedicated cloud deployment are available on all plans; on-premise is listed for Enterprise. Growth is $24 a month and Enterprise is $47 a month, each for up to 50 users. A 3-month trial covers all 12 products for up to five users, requires no credit card, and preserves data for 30 days after it ends. BeaverFlow says its team is based in Dnipro, Ukraine.

BeaverFlow CMDB combines inventory, relationship mapping, change impact, and audit history for configuration items. Teams should compare deployment needs and per-user plan costs, and note the trial’s five-user limit.

BeaverFlow CMDB may suit teams managing infrastructure inventories, software licences, or change impact and audit work. Its listed use cases include incident response, security patch campaigns, and ISO 27001 audit preparation.

Overview

BeaverFlow CMDB is a configuration-item registry that connects asset records with service dependencies, change impact, and audit history. It is best suited to IT operations, security, and audit teams that need these views together. Its strengths are broad inventory coverage and traceability; the main trade-offs are paid-only access and a 50-user limit on the listed plans.

Records can cover devices, virtual machines, SaaS subscriptions, cloud resources, and installed software, with attributes for ownership, location, version, support contracts, and lifecycle stage. That scope makes the product more useful than a hardware list when teams need to understand how assets relate to services. BeaverFlow identifies Dnipro, Ukraine, as its engineering headquarters.

Key features

Inventory and record updates

Hardware and software inventory, cloud asset tracking, licence compliance, and lifecycle tracking bring several asset-management tasks into the CMDB. Discovery tools and infrastructure-as-code pipelines can update records automatically; Terraform and Ansible are cited as use cases. This can help teams keep records aligned with infrastructure changes, though the benefit depends on whether those update paths fit their environment.

Dependencies and change impact

The relationship graph maps dependencies, parent-child links, and paths to affected services. Change impact assessment identifies the configuration items and services in a change's blast radius, a useful combination for teams planning changes or responding to incidents. Teams that need only a basic asset register may not benefit enough from this additional mapping to justify the paid entry point.

Audit, health, and security

Each CI's creation, modification, and retirement is recorded with a timestamp, user, and reason, supporting audit preparation and incident review. A health indicator combines incident history, age, support status, and open vulnerabilities, giving teams a consolidated signal rather than separate fields to reconcile. BeaverFlow's privacy policy describes TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. These measures are relevant safeguards, but do not replace a team's own security assessment.

Pricing

BeaverFlow has no free plan. The three-month trial includes all 12 products, allows up to five users, requires no credit card, and preserves data for 30 days after the trial ends. That gives a small team time to evaluate the product, but the five-user cap may constrain a wider pilot.

Both plans include CMDB and shared or dedicated cloud deployment. Growth is the lower-cost route, but gives up Enterprise's on-premise option and SSO/SAML; the stated support and uptime commitments also differ. All listed plans cap usage at 50 users, so larger organizations should confirm suitable terms before committing.

Platforms

The product supports Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, web, and API access. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are included across plans. Shared and dedicated cloud deployment are offered on all plans, while on-premise deployment is reserved for Enterprise.

Who it's for

BeaverFlow fits teams doing change impact analysis, software licence audits, incident response, security patch campaigns, or ISO 27001 audit preparation. Its mix of dependency mapping and timestamped CI history is particularly relevant when teams need to trace both service consequences and the reason a record changed. It is a weaker fit for organizations that want a free starting tier, exceed 50 users, or do not need linked asset and service views.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad coverage across physical, virtual, cloud, SaaS, and software assets, with ownership and lifecycle attributes.
• Pros: Dependency mapping, change impact, and per-CI audit history connect operational and compliance work.
• Pros: Enterprise adds on-premise deployment, SSO/SAML, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
• Cons: No free plan, and the trial is limited to five users.
• Cons: Listed plans top out at 50 users, which may rule out larger teams without different terms.
• Cons: Growth lacks the Enterprise deployment and identity options, so teams requiring on-premise or SSO/SAML must pay for the higher tier.

Alternatives

CMDB Software is the broader category to compare if BeaverFlow's plan limits or deployment choices do not fit.

• GLPI is worth considering if a free plan matters; it also offers a freemium model, with a Public Cloud plan at €19 a month per IT agent from one billed agent, including 5 GB disk and 20 MB maximum attachments.
• Hornbill IT Asset Management is an option for buyers who prefer personalized pricing and scalable packages.
• Freshservice may suit teams prioritizing its Starter plan's knowledge management, task management, support portal, and omnichannel support, at $19 a month billed annually.
• Matrix42 FastViewer is another paid alternative with a listed price of €540 a year per concurrent session, plus 19% VAT.
• Alloy Navigator is a candidate for teams seeking a plan with up to three technicians, unlimited requesters, and cloud or on-premises deployment at $19 a month billed annually.
• HaloITSM offers one price with all features included, at £66 a month per agent billed annually.
• Octopus ITSM is a paid option at $95 a month per active user, with all modules except AI Assistant.
• SolarWinds Service Desk may fit teams looking for an Essentials plan at $39 a month per technician billed annually, with unlimited users.

Verdict

Choose BeaverFlow CMDB if your team needs asset inventory tied to dependencies, change impact, and an auditable record of CI changes. That combined operational and audit view is its clearest reason to buy. Look elsewhere if you need a free tier, more than 50 users on the listed plans, or Enterprise capabilities without paying for Enterprise.
