baramundi and LOGINventory<\/span><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tbaramundi manages your endpoints: distributing software, applying updates, controlling mobile devices. LOGINventory is your\n\t\t\t\t\tIT asset management software: it knows every asset on your network and follows it from procurement to decommissioning.\n\t\t\t\t\tMany of our customers use both, each for its own task.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tbaramundi and LOGINventory: two tasks\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Both take inventory of devices. Still, they are built for different tasks.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

baramundi is a device management platform.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe baramundi Management Suite rolls out software, installs operating systems, distributes patches, manages\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsmartphones and tablets, and provides remote control. Inventory supplies the basis for this: you have to know what\n\t\t\t\t\t\truns on a device before you manage it.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

LOGINventory is built for IT asset management<\/a>.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery device on the network, with everything that can be read out, and with what happens afterward: who received it,\n\t\t\t\t\t\twhen the warranty expires, where it sits on the network.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tbaramundi says so itself. The\n\t\t\t\tmanufacturer’s documentation (German)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tsays the following about the asset functions (translated from German):\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

“The baramundi Assets do not replace a complete asset management system.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t

They are meant as stock keeping: you can see which devices are on hand and ready for use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tFor customers who use both, the split usually looks like this: software distribution and mobile devices run through\n\t\t\t\tbaramundi. Asset management, handouts with signature, reports, and analyses run through LOGINventory.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tWhat baramundi can do and LOGINventory can’t\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

First off: in device management, baramundi plays in a different category. LOGINventory doesn’t compete there.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Distribute software.<\/strong> Package programs and roll them out to hundreds of computers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Apply patches.<\/strong> LOGINventory shows which devices are missing a particular update. It can’t install the update.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Install operating systems.<\/strong> Set up and configure new computers automatically.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Manage smartphones and tablets.<\/strong> iOS and Android, with profiles for Wi-Fi and email, for example.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Control computers remotely.<\/strong> From the same console.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

As a hosted service.<\/strong> If you don’t want to run your own server, you can get the suite as a service from baramundi. LOGINventory runs in-house.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t

If you need that, you need baramundi or a comparable tool. LOGINventory replaces none of it.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n\t
\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tWhat LOGINventory adds to baramundi\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tbaramundi knows what is installed on a device. LOGINventory also knows what has happened to the device since it came\n\t\t\t\tinto the company.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t

The lifecycle history of every device<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tIn LOGINventory, an asset begins with the order. You can create devices before delivery, with invoice, purchase price,\n\t\t\t\tcost center, and a ready-made label. On the first scan,\n\t\t\t\tLOGINventory recognizes them by serial number<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tand merges the data.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tFrom then on, everything collects on the device: handouts and returns, repairs, notes, entries from other systems.\n\t\t\t\tThese\n\t\t\t\tlifecycle entries<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tare kept permanently, even after the device has long been decommissioned. Years later, you can still trace\n\t\t\t\twho had it and when. And because purchase date, warranty, and condition are in one place, you see early which devices\n\t\t\t\tneed to be replaced next year.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Device handout, with signature<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tYou handle the handout on your phone: scan the label, choose the recipient, display the terms of use, have them sign.\n\t\t\t\tAccessories such as the charging cable and bag are recorded in the same step. The lifecycle entry and the handover\n\t\t\t\tcertificate are created automatically, and the return works the same way. The documentation describes how to set this up\n\t\t\t\tunder\n\t\t\t\tHand Out \/ Return<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tIn baramundi, you assign a contact and a cost center to an asset. A handout with signature doesn’t appear in\n\t\t\t\tbaramundi’s documentation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

    Keeping track of the warranty<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tLOGINventory retrieves the warranty data from Dell, HP, and Lenovo automatically and shows which devices are about to\n\t\t\t\tfall out of warranty. baramundi doesn’t have this lookup. The documentation lists the\n\t\t\t\tsupported manufacturers<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Documents that update themselves<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tThe inventory produces designed documents with your logo: client and server documentation, a switch with everything\n\t\t\t\tconnected to it, the handover certificate of a device. Plus\n\t\t\t\tdynamic documents<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tsuch as the emergency manual based on the BSI template. You write the text once, and the data in it is current every\n\t\t\t\ttime it’s opened. Examples are on the page about IT documentation<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

    Analyses and dashboards in the application<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tIn LOGINventory, every list is a query that you adapt in the editor, without a line of code. If you’d rather ask in\n\t\t\t\tplain language, let LIA (AI Assistant)<\/a> build the query. From your queries, you put together\n\t\t\t\tdashboards<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tyourself by drag & drop. You decide whether a click on a bar filters the other charts and a double click goes one\n\t\t\t\tlevel deeper.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tQueries build on each other. Under the query for a location, each further query shows only that location’s devices, and through sharing the site manager sees exactly that subset. For each node, you decide whether someone can only view, edit data, or create their own queries.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tIn its console, baramundi offers views and a start page with up to six predefined widgets. For custom\n\t\t\t\treports, baramundi relies on a separate data warehouse with Power BI, as described in\n\t\t\t\tbaramundi’s reporting tutorial<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
