LOGINventory discovers your IT by itself, keeps the state of the devices current, and is the tool for the daily work with it: queries, handouts with signature, notifications, documents. You can combine the two.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\t\t\t<details class=\"faq-item\"><summary>Is LOGINventory a CMDB or an alternative to i-doit?<\/summary><div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>No, LOGINventory is not a CMDB in the sense of i-doit. It doesn&#8217;t model services and dependencies and doesn&#8217;t know racks and cabling. It is a possible alternative if you mainly want to know which devices are on the network, what runs on them, and what changes, and you don&#8217;t want to build a model for that. If you need both, you use both.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\t\t\t<details class=\"faq-item\"><summary>How do devices get into i-doit automatically?<\/summary><div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>i-doit doesn&#8217;t scan the network itself. Automatic discovery needs additional software, which is licensed separately. LOGINventory can take on that role: the devices get into i-doit with name, type, model, serial number, and operating system through the API hub OpenCelium, or alternatively by CSV export.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\t\t\t<details class=\"faq-item\"><summary>Is i-doit free, and is LOGINventory available for free too?<\/summary><div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>i-doit is available as the free open-source edition i-doit Open. According to the manufacturer, it is aimed at &#8220;individual IT admins managing and documenting a smaller number of IT assets efficiently.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t come with automatic discovery, and you run it on your own web server yourself. LOGINventory is free forever for up to 20 devices, with no registration, and discovers those devices itself. For your entire inventory, there is the trial license for 30 days.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\t\t\t<details class=\"faq-item\"><summary>Does LOGINventory also run on Linux?<\/summary><div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>No. LOGINventory needs a Windows computer in your network; for production use, we recommend a Windows Server. The setup includes SQL Server Express, which is sufficient for environments up to about 1,000 assets; above that, you connect a full SQL Server. LOGINventory can also discover Linux servers and clients.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"lo-section-dark\" style=\"padding: 5rem 0;\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"text-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"lo-eyebrow on-dark\">Ways to start<\/span>\n\t\t\t<h2>Try it in your network<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"lead mx-auto\" style=\"max-width: 56ch; color: rgba(255,255,255,.85); font-weight: 300;\">\n\t\t\t\tThe fastest way to see the difference is to let LOGINventory run in your network for a day.
