BelManage vs Flexera One IT Asset Management

BelManage helps organizations manage software licenses and maintenance costs while monitoring cybersecurity status and configuration details. It automatically builds a central repository covering software, hardware, and security configurations. Asset-management features include license optimization, virtual-machine dependency mapping, server software discovery, an operational CMDB, and a software catalog. Configuration monitoring can identify authorized and unauthorized applications by version, track additions and removals, and compare systems with standard images. Listed security and audit functions include NIST controls and benchmarks, FISMA compliance, and vulnerability assessments and scans. The server can run on premises, on a customer's cloud, or as Belarc-hosted SaaS. Monitored clients include Windows desktops and servers, macOS, Linux, and many Solaris versions, with installable and agent-less options. BelManage uses encrypted HTTPS for client and report-viewer communication, supports PKI/CAC authentication for U.S. Government customers, and does not require Domain or SSH user credentials. Yearly prices vary by deployment and computer or server licensing: on-premises starts at $10 a year for computers and $50 a year for servers.
