Discover networks quickly

Our PC discovery tool is the fastest available, with average time for a deep discovery of around 4 seconds. The default discovery speed is 100 devices per minute using 0.1% of a 1GBPS network card. This can scale to discover 10,000 assets in one minute using 10% of a 1GBPS network card.

We discover assets in a corporate network using a "collection server". This is a small Windows virtual machine which can discover any device visible on that network. A collection server can discover assets with different credentials and domains if network visibility exists.

The software infers the location of assets from the asset IP address, and Active Directory (Azure/Entra or local) connects user data. The software cleans, validates and recognises discovery data before it enters the database.

The product includes a service to recognize unrecognized software.

Integrations

Our integration toolkit centralizes data from any file, database, application, scanner, or web service. We can match, cleanse, recognise and map data to or from any source to any destination. The end result is a centralized database with data from all available data sources, providing a "single pane of glass" view of your assets.

What can we discover?

The following device types are discovered:

  • Windows
  • Apple, Linux, Unix and AIX
  • ESX, Hyper-V and Virtual Machines
  • Software on all endpoints is discovered and recognised
  • Dell Docking stations
  • Routers, Switches and other SNMP devices
  • IP Phones
  • Monitors
  • Sql Server
  • Exchange Servers
  • Printers
  • Cloud assets and edge assets
  • WFH computers are discovered over a web connection
  • Integrate with Dell and Lenovo for warranty tracking

Our network discovery tool integrates to Intune, JAMF, Meraki, JIRA, Dell and Lenovo Warranties to import asset information. We can also integrate to any web service, application, database or file.

Fast, Scalable and Secure

Our network discovery toolset is fast, scalable, secure, has no impact on the endpoint and no impact on the network. The software is written in C++ which performs at many times the speed of .NET C# applications.

We use the software to discover millions of assets for Microsoft software agreement annual true-up audits. We have been running this service since 2009. This means the software is secure, stable and robust enough to run on thousands of enterprise networks worldwide.

The US Air Force certified that xAssets products could be used on US air force networks - NIPRNET and SIPRNET. This means the product is written to the highest standards and has passed stringent tests covering all aspects of software security in a web-based environment. The software is also FIPS compliant.

xAssets supports Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) using Azure, Duo, OKTA or OneLogin.

Work from Home and Remote Device Discovery

Discover devices which are not present on the network in one of the following ways:

  • Discover devices through VPN subnets
  • Send a one-time discovery link to users
  • Send a link to users which installs the agent
  • Install through group policy, Intune, or SCCM

In all cases discovered information is automatically sent to the application server and loaded into the database.

Discovery is invisible to the user and has no effect the device.

Deep Discovery of Windows Computers

Discovery tools often use WMI and registry. These are insufficient for providing the deep intelligence required for modern ITAM and Software Asset Management. Our discovery engine includes the following technologies and features:

  • WMI and Registry
  • Executable file headers are discovered with a disk scan
  • Disk technology such as SSD, NVMe, Raid level, serial space and size
  • Software SWIDs and Adobe SCA settings assist with license identification
  • Antivirus version signatures
  • Discover CPU capabilities needed for software licensing models
  • Peripherals including Dell Docking Stations

This depth of information enables accurate calculation of the software licensing position and gives deeper insights into all aspects of IT asset management.

Deep Discovery of Sql Server Instances

Our windows discovery tool includes the ability to discover SQL Server instances and databases. The following information is collected:

  • A list of Sql Server instances with edition and version for each instance
  • A list of Sql Server databases stored on each instance
  • A list of Sql Server files associated with each database, including date created, size and space

This inventory of Sql Server databases and instances provides a valuable resource to database administrators and security administrators:

  • Know where sensitive data may be stored
  • Check that live databases are backed up
  • Check that the host machine includes disk mirroring and failover
  • Check that all Sql instances are correctly licensed
  • Understand the risk exposure of having Sql Server databases on development machines and test instances

Infer Location from IP Address

Locations are inferred from asset IP ranges. Through the configuration layer, we can also infer any data field from any other. For example if the department code is embedded in part of the computer name, we can populate the department field using this data.

Awesome Product & Outstanding Support

Our overall experience is fantastic. xAssets is a huge upgrade from our old, manual system. We love the automation as a result of synchronizing with other systems. This product allowed us to be more efficient in managing our IT assets. Support is also very important to us and xAssets always resolves any incidents promptly. I highly recommend xAssets for your IT asset managment needs.

Pros: I liked most the automation aspects of the solution and how we were able to customize it to fit our needs.

Cons: No complaints. Initially there were a few kinks with integration, however xAssets worked diligently to resolve those issues quickly.
