BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
ITAM activation depends on deployment method
Agent-based discovery requires endpoint installation per client network — asset visibility doesn't activate via console configuration alone.
04
Free tier: 5 technicians — paid plan to scale
The Standard Edition includes up to 5 technicians free; a sixth moves the instance to paid licensing—budget for that tier transition.
02
Enterprise tier gates CMDB and change workflows
Change management, CMDB dependency mapping & problem management are locked to Enterprise — Standard/Professional exclude ITIL automation.
05
Multi-tenancy is architectural, not superficial
Client data isolation is enforced at the DB level. Reporting, SLAs, assets, KBs are account-scoped. Cross-client reporting needs config.
03
ITAM capability is edition-gated, not deployment
Asset discovery and inventory need Professional/Enterprise or a paid add-on — Standard ticketing-only scopes find ITAM entirely absent.
06
Free Standard tier: 5 technicians — hard ceiling
Free licence caps at 5 technicians regardless of client count. Growth beyond needs paid tier, no carry-over of free-tier config credits.
