Best IT Asset Management Software (2026): Top 10 Compared

Lansweeper describes itself as a cyber asset intelligence platform for IT and security teams. Its core is discovery: the scanning engine identifies servers, workstations and network devices, extends to operational technology on factory and building networks, and maps cloud and virtual resources across providers. Discovery runs without an agent, with an agent available for remote and work-from-home devices. Connectors import and reconcile inventory from systems such as SCCM, Intune, AirWatch and G Suite MDM, and warranty status is collected automatically for physical devices.

Discovered data is reconciled into one record per asset, and software titles, versions, vendors, models and firmware are normalized. Dashboards, a report builder and a library of built-in reports sit on top. Federation combines several Lansweeper installations into a single view, with the number of installations set by plan.

The Pro plan adds vulnerability and lifecycle insights that flag software and hardware reaching end of life. Lansweeper states that it is used in more than 30,000 environments.

Snipe-IT is an open-source IT asset management application maintained by Grokability, based in San Diego. It can be downloaded and run on an organization's own server at no cost, or hosted by Grokability on AWS in twelve regions, including Oregon, Northern Virginia, Ireland, Frankfurt, Singapore and Sydney.

The documentation centers on accountability. Every asset carries a unique tag and can be checked out to a person, a location or another asset, although the documentation recommends assigning to people because locations cannot be held responsible for loss or damage. Licenses and accessories follow the same check-in and check-out model, which prevents double assignment. Status labels mark assets as deployable, undeployable, pending or archived.

Admin settings cover branding, alerts, LDAP and two-factor authentication. Hosted plans add automated upgrades, backups and server maintenance, with LDAP sync capacity and IP restrictions increasing by tier. Snipe-IT reports about 22 million managed assets across 5,960 customers.

AssetExplorer is ManageEngine's dedicated IT asset management product. ManageEngine positions it for quick deployment across multiple sites, with on-premises and cloud editions.

Discovery uses agent-based and agentless methods, and barcode, QR code and RFID scanners are supported for physical audits. Software inventory is reconciled, usage is monitored across installations, and unauthorized or prohibited software can be flagged. License management shows compliance status and can allocate, upgrade or downgrade licenses, including suites and service packs.

A drag-and-drop canvas lets administrators design asset life cycles, with different workflows for each product type and automated actions within them. Automations include notifications, asset acknowledgements and assigning assets to users based on login history. A CMDB holds configuration items with business views of services and dependencies, and purchase order, vendor and contract management is built in. When the 30-day cloud trial ends, the account drops to a free edition rather than closing.

Freshservice is Freshworks' IT service management product. Since 31 March 2026 new customers can buy Freshservice IT Asset Management as its own set of plans, Growth, Pro and Enterprise, priced in Asset Units rather than agents.

Every ITAM plan includes discovery for Windows, macOS and Linux, discovery of network, cloud, storage and data center infrastructure, agent and agentless options, hardware asset management, life cycle management, a CMDB and workflow automation. Pro adds contracts and purchase orders, software asset management, SaaS discovery and normalization with end-of-life and end-of-support data. Enterprise adds service discovery and application dependency mapping. Data center infrastructure management, covering PDUs, UPS units and room layouts, is listed on all three plans.

Asset Units weight assets by type. A server, VM or network device costs four units, a desktop, mobile device or SaaS user one, a container half a unit, and non-IP physical assets or archived devices one twenty-fifth. Buyers should count each asset class before estimating cost.

InvGate Asset Management is the asset management product from InvGate, which also sells InvGate Service Management as a help desk. The pricing page lists the two products with separate plans.

Licensing is per active IP device rather than per user. InvGate's licensing FAQ states that the product does not use a modular structure: core features including CMDB, discovery, reporting, integrations and workflow automation are part of the platform, and the Starter, Pro and Enterprise tiers differ by scale, support level and advanced capabilities. The pricing page shows that software deployment, SSO and automatic CMDB mapping begin at Pro.

Starter covers 500 IP devices with automated discovery, the AI Hub and health rules, which flag devices that fall outside defined conditions. Enterprise scales to a million devices and adds dedicated servers, data residency options and on-premises hosting. Contract length and deployment type also affect the quoted figure above the published tiers.

Jira Service Management is Atlassian's service desk, now sold as part of its Service Collection. Its Assets feature is a flexible database for hardware, software, cloud resources and configuration items, rather than a fixed CMDB structure. Teams can start from Atlassian's Common Data Model schemas or a hardware asset management template, or build their own object types.

Assets link directly to requests, incidents, changes and employee workflows, so an agent handling a ticket sees the affected device or service and its dependencies. Discovery detects IP-enabled assets and their attributes, and more than 30 connectors import data from tools such as Jamf, Intune, SCCM, AWS and Azure. Assets Data Manager consolidates, cleanses and reconciles data from several sources before it reaches downstream work.

Queries support audits, cost reviews and impact analysis, and automation updates life cycle status, ownership and notifications. Atlassian's Rovo AI can search assets and answer natural-language questions about them.

GLPI is open-source IT service management and asset software. Teclib' hosts and manages the paid GLPI Network Cloud editions. The suite combines a service desk, asset management, a CMDB, data center management and financial management covering budgets, costs, suppliers and licenses.

Inventory can run agentless, scan networks and produce SNMP reports, and GLPI lists application deployment, mobile device management and antivirus and security alert management among its modules. Its marketplace adds community and GLPI Network plugins.

GLPI Network Cloud is hosted on OVHcloud. Public Cloud uses shared infrastructure with 97% annual availability, a 24-hour recovery point and an 8-hour recovery time. Private Cloud uses dedicated resources with 99% availability, a one-hour recovery point and a four-hour recovery time, plus an IPsec VPN tunnel, IP filtering and read-only database access. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Paris time, in French and English, with a four-hour ticket response commitment.

ServiceNow IT Asset Management runs on the ServiceNow AI Platform and connects asset records to the service catalog, the CMDB and procurement. Its pages group the product into Hardware Asset Management, Software Asset Management and Cloud Cost Management, with Enterprise Asset Management referenced for data center and inventory use cases.

Hardware use cases on ServiceNow's pages include stockroom and inventory management, data center rack and facility tracking, and audit response. Software Asset Management starts from a content library of more than 4.3 million publisher part numbers, with normalization rates that ServiceNow states reach 98%. Publisher packs support deep license positions for major vendors, and SaaS management connects to single sign-on providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID to find unused subscriptions.

AI agents fulfil software requests, summarize compliance positions, propose removal candidates and automate tracking and retirement. Cloud Cost Management covers multicloud spend tracking and forecasting. ServiceNow presents ITAM as part of cross-functional workflows such as employee onboarding and contract renewals.

Ivanti Neurons for ITAM consolidates hardware, server, client, virtual, cloud and software asset data and tracks each asset from purchase to disposal. It runs on Ivanti's multi-tenant cloud platform, which Ivanti states is ISO 27001 certified, and is also available on-premises.

Ivanti now describes two layers. An asset data foundation included in the Neurons platform covers continuous discovery, normalized asset data, ownership tracking, life cycle visibility, a product catalog and configuration relationships. Full ITAM, packaged with Ivanti ITSM, adds procurement and purchase orders, invoice and shipment tracking, contract and vendor management, stock management and asset requests through the service catalog.

A mobile app supports barcode scanning to look up or update assets in the field, and vendor scorecards aggregate supplier performance. Bots extend monitoring, such as one that checks device battery health and flags replacement. The asset repository feeds the service management CMDB and supplies context to Ivanti's autonomous endpoint management.

Flexera One IT Asset Management concentrates on software spend and license risk. It combines discovery and inventory across on-premises, cloud, SaaS and container environments with Technopedia, Flexera's catalog of software and hardware data that includes use rights for major publishers.

The page highlights license optimization for Microsoft, Oracle, IBM and other vendors, use rights analysis templates, renewal and true-up planning, and data to support vendor negotiations. Flexera states that Flexera One ITAM and FlexNet Manager Suite are the only alternatives to IBM's License Metric Tool for sub-capacity licensing. AI contract and entitlement ingestion reads contracts, invoices, purchase orders and quotes into structured records.

Hardware asset management tracks equipment across business units, and automated license reclamation connects to Flexera's App Broker. Flexera also enriches ITSM tools such as ServiceNow with normalized license data. Customer stories on the page cite DEICHMANN reaching more than 99% data accuracy and the Dutch Police reducing yearly audits from six to zero.
