BelManage
BelManage · Maynard, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
BelManage is software for tracking licenses, assets, configurations, and cybersecurity status. It builds a central repository covering software, hardware, and security details, with tools for license optimization, virtual-machine dependency mapping, server software discovery, an operational CMDB, and a software catalog. Configuration monitoring identifies authorized or unauthorized applications by version, records additions and removals, and compares systems with standard images. Security and audit functions include NIST controls and benchmarks, FISMA compliance, vulnerability assessments, and scans. The server can run on premises, in a customer cloud, or as Belarc-hosted SaaS, creating a hybrid deployment model. Monitored clients include Windows, macOS, Linux, and many Solaris versions, with installable and agent-less options. BelManage uses encrypted HTTPS, supports PKI/CAC authentication for U.S. Government customers, and does not require Domain or SSH credentials. Plans range from $10 a year for an on-premises computer license to $105 a year for SaaS Plus server licensing.
