PC Inventory Software - Top Reasons to Choose EMCO Network Inventory
When you need to collect detailed PC inventory information for computers in your local network the only effective approach is to use automatic computer inventory system. Manual audit is very complicated and time-consuming if you would like to get detailed, quality inventory report. But automatic PC inventory software available on market isn't always a silver bullet. Most IT inventory software uses WMI services to receive audit information from remote PCs, but WMI is not always available because of OS or policy restrictions.
Other applications require remote client installation that creates additional headache for administrators and is pretty insecure. And most computer inventory systems fail to work in complex and restricted network environments consist of multiple domains and workgroups. To summarize, vast majority of PC inventory software unable to do their job because of different reasons. If you tried them, you definitely know about this.
EMCO Network Inventory is a product from the new PC inventory software generation, that doesn't use typical, but still ineffective approaches for remote PC inventory. Instead, it has a unique scan engine that can be used to extract audit data in very restrictive environments, so it can work where other tools fail.
