Hey everyone! I'm trying to find a solid agent-based asset management solution for our IT team. Currently, we use PDQ Deploy and Inventory, Lansweeper, and ITGlue, but we have some limitations. For instance, we don't have PDQ Connect due to budget constraints, and PDQ Inventory only tracks devices when they are physically on-site or connected via VPN.
I'm hoping to consolidate all these tools into one platform that can handle asset management, inventory, software deployment, reporting, and more. Unfortunately, due to our security policies, our Corporate team has specific preferences on applications, and solutions like ConnectWise have already been turned down.
We liked using Quest K1000 SMA during a demo since it covered a lot of our needs, but since it runs on FreeBSD, it's a no-go for us. I'm looking for alternatives that are similar to K1000 and could potentially work in our environment. If anyone has experience with KACE K1000 SMA or knows of comparable solutions, I would love to hear your suggestions!

If you haven't looked at AssetSonar yet, it could be worth checking out. It has an agent, integrates with MDMs, and offers network discovery, which might help you track all your devices!
I’ve been using Endpoint Central from ManageEngine for a bit, and it’s been great for us! It's affordable and handles most of our needs, though I'm not sure it covers everything on your wishlist.
Have you checked out GLPI? They have an agent that can inventory all your devices, which might align with what you’re looking for.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely take a closer look at AssetSonar.
