ITAM Tools

ITAM tools coverage on discovery, hardware lifecycle, and the inventory file that SAM still has to consume. Posts here split asset tracking from license math, including what a CMDB does and does not prove.

SAM Tools is the license-position file. Tooling is the broader stack. Lansweeper is the discovery vendor we write about most. Use this category when the question is the ITAM product, not the publisher paper it feeds.
