Komiser vs rxInventory

Komiser is an open-source cloud resource manager for reviewing infrastructure cost, usage, security, and governance. Its inventory helps identify idle or untagged assets, while a dashboard summarizes connected accounts, regions, resource counts, and infrastructure cost. Users can filter resources by account, provider, service, and region, then view them in a pie chart. The cost explorer sorts resources, compares costs from monthly to yearly, and allows resources to be excluded from comparisons. Custom views can trigger cost or usage alerts every hour through Slack or a custom webhook; webhook workflows can involve tools such as Jira, Linear, and PagerDuty. The project lists support for AWS, Azure, GCP, Civo, DigitalOcean, OCI, Linode, Tencent, and Scaleway, and its configuration guide also lists Kubernetes and MongoDB Atlas. Multiple cloud accounts are supported by default. Komiser can run locally or in Docker, with its dashboard accessed in a browser at localhost:3000; SQLite and PostgreSQL are documented persistence options. The project says it can detect potential vulnerabilities in cloud environments. It is offered as a free cloud option and can also be deployed on-premises. Its GitHub page states the Elastic License 2.0.

rxInventory is an on-premises tool for discovering and tracking network computers, other devices, and manually recorded fixed assets. Scheduled scans update inventory in the background without requiring Windows client software across the network. Linux and macOS computers can be scanned when SSH is enabled. A Visual Basic-like scripting language can collect registry values and file information or run WMI, SNMP, and SSH requests. Supported databases include Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL/MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. License records can include purchase dates, expiration, and prices; reports can analyze asset data, export to Microsoft Excel, or query SQL views. The product shows when hardware and software changes occurred, and user information can be excluded from storage. The free Basic plan covers up to 20 clients with full functionality and support, but those clients cannot be combined with a purchased license. Professional licenses are listed at tiered per-client prices from 5.00 € once, excluding VAT; Enterprise is 4999.00 EUR once, also excluding VAT.
