LOGINventory · Munich, Germany · founded 1987
What it is
LOGINventory discovers and documents hardware, software, configurations, and permissions across an IT network. Its main discovery process is agentless, using WMI/RPC, SNMP, or SSH; an Offline Agent can cover Windows, Linux, and macOS devices away from the local network. Supported environments include Windows, Linux/Unix, macOS, SNMP devices, hypervisors, Microsoft cloud services, AWS virtual machines, and Exchange. The Inventory Edition focuses on network inventory, while the SAM Edition adds license management, usage measurement, target-versus-actual comparisons, and compliance reports. The software runs on a customer's own infrastructure and stores inventory data in a local SQL database; the maker says that data is not sent to the company. Its optional LIA assistant routes requests through Azure OpenAI with automatic anonymization and can be disabled. Server requirements include Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016–2025 (x64) and SQL Server 2012 SP4 or later. The free plan covers 20 devices. A 30-day trial provides the full feature set for the full network size, without a credit card, and includes personal support.
