FirstWave Open-AudIT Recognised as Best Agentless Discovery Tool for IT Asset Management

Australian technology developed by FirstWave Cloud Technology (ASX: FCT) has received prestigious recognition as the best agentless discovery tool in the world for IT asset management. The widely respected consumer-tech review site Comparitech was awarded FirstWave’s Open-AudIT top honors, describing its automated discovery feature as “the most useful IT asset management tool you can have.”

A Trusted Solution for Over 150,000 Organizations

Currently in use by more than 150,000 organizations worldwide,
Open-AudIT tells you precisely what’s on your network,
how devices are configured, and any changes that occur. By intelligently
scanning a network and storing discovered device configurations,
it grants administrators immediate insights into:

• • Software licensing
  • Configuration changes
  • Non-authorized devices
  • Capacity utilization
  • Hardware warranty status

A Feature-Rich Platform for Any Size Business

FirstWave CEO Danny Maher notes that
Open-AudIT was intentionally designed to be a
feature-rich network management and audit platform suitable for organizations
of any scale.

“Regardless of the size of your network, device discovery is a critical tool
for maintaining hardware and software inventories. It’s also vital for securing
and managing your environment—if you don’t know what’s there, you can’t manage
or secure it.”

Maher adds that Comparitech’s endorsement further validates
Open-AudIT as the premier solution for network discovery
and IT auditing worldwide.

“To be recognized by Comparitech as the ‘best’ platform reinforces what we already
knew—Open-AudIT is the world’s number one tool for network discovery and IT Audit.”

Key Highlights from Comparitech

Comparitech pointed to two crucial differentiators:

  periodically rechecking device settings against known good snapshots.
  Simplifies standardizing configurations across similar devices.

  real-world geographic maps and rack visualizations for a clear, intuitive
  infrastructure overview.
