Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a reliable IT asset management platform to handle a bit of a unique setup without breaking the bank. My team currently manages around 900 devices across 12 distribution hubs, including Zebra Android handhelds, Linux thin clients, Windows 11 laptops, and some BYOD tablets. We all log in via Okta, and our configuration management relies on SaltStack.
Right now, we're using Airtable and a Postgres database to keep track of our assets, along with some scripts to pull serial numbers and ownership info, but it's pretty rudimentary. We need something more robust that can integrate with Okta SSO, connect to SaltStack, and meet strict audit log requirements.
It would also be great to have options for barcode or QR code check-ins using our handheld scanners, without needing a separate app. An automatic flag for devices that haven't been checked in for 60 days would be crucial too.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

We used to rely heavily on manual logs and reports through Intune until our device count hit around 400. After that, we transitioned to Lansweeper, which worked nicely as it pulled asset data directly from our old Intune system. I suggest checking it out, but do note that price changes could impact your budget. We’re still on Google Workspace for SSO, which has been seamless for us.
I thought Lansweeper was mostly for network scans and not true asset tracking. Did you have to make major changes to get it up and running?
