LOGINventory vs rxInventory

LOGINventory discovers and documents hardware, software, configurations, and permissions across IT networks. Its core discovery is agentless, using WMI/RPC, SNMP, or SSH; an Offline Agent can cover Windows, Linux, and macOS devices outside the local network. Coverage includes Windows, Linux/Unix, macOS, SNMP devices, hypervisors, Microsoft cloud services, AWS virtual machines, and Exchange. The maker says the product can capture up to 1,117 individual values per Windows device by default. The Inventory Edition covers network inventory; the SAM Edition adds license management, software usage measurement, target-versus-actual comparisons, and compliance reports. It runs on the customer's infrastructure and stores inventory data in a local SQL database; the maker says inventory data is not transmitted to it. The optional LIA assistant sends requests through Azure OpenAI with automatic anonymization and can be disabled. The server requires Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016–2025 (x64) and SQL Server 2012 SP4 or later. Pricing includes a free plan, Inventory360 at €6.50 per year, and a 30-day trial; listed prices exclude VAT.

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.
