The trouble starts with the detail: which laptop is with which employee, whether a server still runs an operating system that stopped getting patches, how many copies of a product are installed against how many were bought, and where the evidence is when an auditor asks. LOGINventory answers those questions from one continuously updated inventory. The software has been developed in Munich by Schmidt's LOGIN since 2002 and is used by more than 13,000 users, in environments from a few dozen assets up to 50,000. It runs on-premises. Inventory data stays on the customer's own infrastructure, which matters in healthcare, public administration and finance. Collection starts without agents. The server reaches devices over protocols that are already open in most networks: WMI for Windows, SSH for Linux, SNMP for switches, routers and printers. Nothing is rolled out to endpoints, so there is no deployment wave and no update cascade. Initial setup takes under 30 minutes. Where a central server cannot reach, other routes exist. A lightweight scanner on one Windows machine per site covers separate subnets and syncs back into the same platform. Laptops outside the network collect their own data with an installed agent or a logon script and report when they reconnect. Anything without a network interface can be recorded by hand. Active Directory, vSphere, Azure and structured imports add to the same database. What accumulates there is detailed: up to 1,117 values per asset, covering hardware down to serial number and warranty, installed software with version and patch level, configuration such as firewall and antivirus state, and permissions including shares and directory groups. Because it is one model rather than several tools, a license can be traced to a device, a device to a location, a change to a date. From that base, teams run network inventory with a topology diagram generated from scan data rather than drawn by hand, license management that shows over- and under-licensing side by side and typically cuts license costs by 20 to 30 percent, IT documentation produced from templates including ISO 27001 and GDPR sets, and vulnerability management that ranks CVE findings by the actual environment instead of a generic score. One customer with 8,500 devices reduced weekly vulnerability analysis from 30 hours to 2. A manufacturer with around 600 assets replaced a three-week annual stocktake that occupied two people; the count now runs on its own, saving roughly 240 hours a year. Assets can also be tracked physically. Every record can be printed as a QR code label. Scanning it on a phone opens the asset page, where handover and return are signed on the screen and stored against both the device and the person. Maintenance and repairs go in as dated lifecycle entries. Items that never appear on the network, from headsets to keys, are recorded the same way. Licensing is per asset and year from 25 assets, from 3.70 EUR per asset in the largest environments and 6.50 EUR in the entry tier, so a minimum of 162.50 EUR a year. The SAM Edition with license management runs from 4.70 to 8.60 EUR. Peripherals are licensed as add-on assets. A 30-day trial covers the whole network; a free version handles up to 20 devices. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 5 users.

Each discovered or manually created device counts as one asset: clients, servers, virtual machines, network devices, printers and cloud resources. Licensing runs per asset and year, with a minimum of 25 assets. The price per asset falls as the environment grows. Two editions are available. The Inventory Edition covers discovery, network inventory and IT documentation and runs from 3.70 EUR per asset and year in large environments up to 6.50 EUR in the entry tier. The SAM Edition adds software license management and runs from 4.70 to 8.60 EUR. The 3.70 and 4.70 EUR rates apply from 2,500 assets. At the 25-asset minimum, a year costs 162.50 EUR for the Inventory Edition and 215.00 EUR for the SAM Edition. Intermediate tiers sit between those figures; the calculator on loginventory.de returns the exact price for a given asset count. Peripherals and non-networked items such as monitors, headsets, docking stations and keys are licensed separately as add-on assets, in blocks of 100. A trial license covers the entire network for 30 days with no asset limit. A permanently free version handles up to 20 devices and needs no license key. Multi-tenant management and individual volume tiers are quoted on request. - **Target Audience**: 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Linux (Desktop), Windows (On-Premise), Linux (On-Premise), Chromebook (Desktop) - **Supported Languages**: English, German - **Available Countries**: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium and 209 more ## Features - AI Copilot - API - Access Controls/Permissions - Activity Dashboard - Activity Tracking - Ad hoc Reporting - Alerts/Notifications - Asset Discovery - Asset Lifecycle Management - Asset Tracking - Audit Management - Audit Trail - Barcode/Ticket Scanning - Categorisation/Grouping - Change Management - Change Tracking - Compliance Management - Compliance Tracking - Configuration Management - Contract/License Management ## Integrations (18 total) - AppTec360 UEM - Citrix Hypervisor - Jira - Microsoft 365 - Microsoft Azure - Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft Exchange - Microsoft Intune - Microsoft SQL Server - OTRS - PRTG - Sophos Mobile Control - baramundi Management Suite - i-doit - i-net HelpDesk ... and 3 more integrations ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support ## Category - [License Management Software](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/directory/4637/license-management/software) ## Related Categories - [License Management Software](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/directory/4637/license-management/software) - [IT Asset Management Software](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/directory/1888/it-asset-management/software) - [IT Documentation Software](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/directory/4607/it-documentation/software) ## Alternatives 1.

From licensing questions to technical support, every request was handled quickly and competently. The product is intuitive, offers excellent value for money, and delivers the functionality required for effective IT asset management. > > **Cons**: We are still in the process of integrating LOGINventory into our environment; as such, we have not yet identified any significant shortcomings. As with many comprehensive IT management solutions, there is a learning curve involved as we discover its advanced features for the first time. However, the support and documentation provided are helping to ensure a smooth transition as we familiarise ourselves with the system. As we explore the product further, it is definitely worth the price you pay. > > The implementation process has been supported by a highly professional and responsive team. Communication has always been friendly, fast, and solution-oriented. In addition to the quality of the product itself, we particularly appreciate the LOGINventory team’s commitment to understanding customer needs and helping customers achieve successful results. One of the aspects that impressed me most is the importance given to customer feedback in the product development process. When I shared a feature request with the LOGINventory team, it was great to see that our request was taken into consideration and the requested functionality was developed for the next release. This clearly demonstrates that customer feedback is not only heard, but also actively contributes to the continuous development of the product. We are a financial institution in Germany with approximately 60 employees and 90 servers, while also being part of a much larger global organization. When we consider IT asset inventory, CMDB, license management, detailed hardware and software analysis, audit-ready reporting, and many other capabilities that I cannot list here, LOGINventory has proven to be a comprehensive and highly cost-effective solution for our environment. We are still in the process of fully integrating the product into our environment, and I continue to discover new features and possibilities every day. Once the integration is complete, I plan to present our LOGINventory implementation journey and the results we have achieved to our central organization as a success story. As we move forward, I will also continue to openly share constructive feedback and suggestions with the LOGINventory team whenever we identify opportunities for further improvement. Many thanks to the entire LOGINventory team for their excellent support, responsiveness, and continued dedication. ----- ### "Es gibt nichts negatives zu sagen, alles super." — 5.0/5 > **nico** | *2 September 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hier wird einfach an alles gedacht, was wir so benötigen. Dadurch sehr umfangreich, daher benötigt man Zeit zum einrichten und bedienen. Fehlt eine Funktion wird diese, wenn sinnig, schnell eingebaut. Sehr kurzer Draht zum Anbieter. Super Support. > > **Cons**: Eigentlich ist alles super, höchstens wenn die LOGINventory-Portable.exe benutzt wird, sind zwar alle Funktionen enthalten aber das öffnen dauert etwas und die Verteilung ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber das steht hier nur damit etwas eingetragen ist :-). > > Kontakt super. Der Start war super. Preis ist Super. Einfach nur empfehlenswert. Da können sich sehr viele Anbieter ein Bespiel dran nehmen, denn die Großen Hersteller sind einfach zu kompliziert, Preis passt nicht, Support ist schlecht, Updatestrategie ist schlecht. ----- ### "Vollständiges Bild über Hardware, Software und Kosten – mit etwas Pflegeaufwand" — 4.0/5 > **Holger** | *16 September 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Umfassende Sicht auf alle Ressourcen mit Kosten und Terminen. Das macht die Zeit- und Budgetplanung viel transparenter und verlässlicher. Unendlich viel Know-how schon mit an Bord. > > **Cons**: Bei Konflikten zwischen Daten, die durch den Scanner erhoben wurden, und Daten, die manuell gepflegt wurden, ist teilweise etwas Suchen notwendig, um den Knoten zu lösen. > > Das System lebt von der Benutzung. Man muss sich damit auseinandersetzen und vielleicht auch mal den Support kontaktieren. Der Support und die Community sind Gold wert. ----- ### "LOGINventory - Eine hervorragende Software für Netzwerkadministratoren" — 5.0/5 > **Stefanie** | *11 August 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: LoginVentory vereinfacht die Arbeit als Netzwerk -Administrator sehr. Es ist sehr einfach zu bedienen und bietet eine große Fülle an Informationen. Verschiedenste Auswertungen und Abfragen lassen sich schnell und leicht erstellen. Aus der schnelle, freundliche Support ist zu erwähnen. > > **Cons**: LOGINventory hat für mich keine Nachteile, da weil bei Problemen der Support immer freundlich und schnell hilft. > > Eine gute Software, die immer bei mir geöffnet ist und mir das tägliche Arbeiten als Netzwerkadministrator sehr vereinfacht. Mittlerweile habe ich LOGINventory schon viele Jahre im Einsatz. ----- ### "Zentrale IT-Verwaltung mit umfangreichen Funktionen" — 5.0/5 > **Fabio** | *7 September 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Zentrale Übersicht / Verwaltung aller Netzwerkgeräte - Individuelle + maßgeschneiderte Lösungsmöglichkeiten zur automatisierten Inventarisierung - alle möglichen Infos vom Client werden aufgelistet - sehr viele Funktionen wie z.B individuelle Berichte / Exports - Scan mit Agent und Netzwerk möglich - Übersichtlich strukturiert - automatische Abfrage der Garantie der Geräte auf der Herstellerseite - Lizenz und Zertifikatsmanagement mit integriertem Kalender - Schnittstellen zu anderen API möglich > > **Cons**: - Darkmode Optik (dunkelblaue Symbole zu schwarzer Optik) - Eine sehr coole Idee wäre, eine Schnittstelle des integrierten Kalender zu Exchange Online > > LOGINventory unterstützt uns zuverlässig bei der Verwaltung und Inventarisierung unserer IT-Landschaft. Die Software ist übersichtlich aufgebaut, bietet viele Funktionen und liefert detaillierte Informationen zu Netzwerkgeräten und Clients. Besonders hilfreich sind die umfangreichen Reporting-Möglichkeiten, die automatische Garantieabfrage sowie das integrierte Lizenz- und Zertifikatsmanagement. Insgesamt eine sehr leistungsfähige Lösung. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/503719/LOGINventory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
