Difference is what you get

Vorteile:

We are both using Total Network Inventory in our enviroment and offering it to our customers. I have never heard complains about it. Nearly every inventory management software uses the same structures to gather data from clients/assets. TNI uses them all and the big difference is reporting. TNI's reporting is very detailed and ver very flexible.

Nachteile:

TNI is not working as a service. I am not sure if it has to work that way but it would be better.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Zuvor genutzte Software: PDQ Deploy & Inventory

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Total Network Inventory: Manage engine is much more complex. I do not want to pay money annually to features I will not use.

TNI is best

Kommentare: We have been using this product for many years (over 15 years) and are very satisfied. From the initial versions, the product has grown a lot and it has become a very good technique, network and software management. Thanks to the Total Network Inventory development team. Good luck!

Vorteile:

Quickly get current and historical information about the equipment and installed software in the infrastructure. An innovation - Multi-user storage - is welcome.

Nachteile:

Until there was Multi-user storage, I didn't like that everyone had to create their own storage.

TNI - Useful software

Kommentare: The software is fairly easy to use and understand. Documentation is available for maximizing use of the software. Support is an option when running into road blocks and they are responsive and helpfull.

Vorteile:

Gives you insight into your computer systems and software. Easy to dive into individual workstations and extract system information. System scan can be triggered by Group Policy for easy company wide system updates.

Nachteile:

Occasional windows interaction bugs. Such as when minimizing the window on a multi screen setup the icon for the program would move to another screen. It's fixed now.

Comprehensive Network Mapping and Reporting

Kommentare: Total Network is a must have for a reasonably priced, non-intrusive scan of all the computers on your network, and get detailed info on what OS and software they are running. It is a lot cheaper and more flexible than a software audit!

Vorteile:

The product goes out over your network by subnet or Domain and interrogates all node it finds and reports OS, software installs, and other vital info. You can hunt down computers on your network that use a certain version of software that is in need of upgrade, or just keep a snapshot of what software is running on your network.

Nachteile:

It is a little time consuming to get a complete scan completed. I wish there was a feature to allow you to just go out and look for changes since your last full scan

Overall, pretty good product

Kommentare: For the internal network I found the software Total network monitor to be enough for our company. Fits perfectly in our Windows-based network. I tried to install on Debian and it worked great. So multiplatform is a real deal. It also scans servers through VPN and fulfill needs to look for a software license management. My main concern is lack of temperature control. In our office we don`t run any 3D programs or such but i see it`s being a case for other companies.
Also i tried their remote installation product http://www.softinventive.com/total-software-deployment/, total software deployment on a trial period and now i`m talking with CEO to buy this package. Microsoft deployment didn`t work out for me.

Vorteile:

price, ui, customisable

Nachteile:

temp control
