IT Asset Management
The insight you need to track inventory, manage compliance, and reduce costs
Trusted by hundreds of companies, universities and government agencies
Track, Manage & Save
Award-winning Asset Management Suite
Automated Inventory
Hardware attributes and installed software applications are automatically discovered by our reliable, lightweight client, delivering trustworthy details about each Windows, Mac, and Linux machine (including virtual and thin-client). Sassafras’ cloud-hosted Product Recognition Service (PRS) then normalizes virtually every software product installed on client computers.
Hardware Tracking
Manage all of your IT hardware from purchase order to disposal with our full-featured hardware asset management tools, including: computers, Chromebooks, mobile devices, printers, displays, networking hardware and more. Import purchase records and asset details prior to deployment, and automatically track hardware properties, login details, software installations and usage events, plus much more, throughout the lifecycle of each unit.
Live Availability Maps
Provide visibility into computer usage and availability across campuses or offices worldwide with Sassafras geographic and floorplan maps. Computers are easily grouped with OU mapping or automatic filters where each location is dropped onto dynamic geographic maps. Each computer group can be viewed as a list, or a floorplan can be drawn up using our fully integrated CAD drawing tools. Software search functionality allows end users to locate available computers that have the products they need.
Usage Reporting
Every OS login, software application launch, and user-defined cloud-product is observed by KeyServer, with usage stats recorded by computer, user, and location. Detailed usage reports, spanning any date range, computer, software, and/or user group are generated instantly. Reports can be scheduled to run on a regular basis and automatically emailed to stakeholders, or run on-demand from pre-configured “One-click” buttons saved to individual user dashboards. Excel, PDF, text, xml, and our dynamic KSR export formats are all supported.
License Management
Software policies give you complete, automated control of who, when, and where an application can be used based on the terms of your license agreement. Concurrent use (CUL), device, user, and leased licensing are supported for standard desktop applications, while PVU, socket, and processor-based license metrics are supported in the data center.
Software Compliance
Software asset management begins with the purchase order. Enter purchase data manually or import it directly into Sassafras via spreadsheet, with reusable field maps for bulk imports in your native format. Software purchase records reconcile directly with license management policies, automatically helping maintain compliance by enforcing license limits. Compliance reports compare purchased entitlements to usage data, providing a unique, audit ready compliance position for each software product.
Flexible Architecture
Keep things simple with default settings that work great in most environments, or fine tune to fit your unique needs with customization options for any environment. Known as the most flexible, reliable, and lightweight ITAM solution in the industry, Sassafras also offers unparalleled compatibility for data integrations, with easy spreadsheet imports, REST API, ODBC, JDBC, and Excel exports, and connectors for TeamDynamix, ServiceNow, PaperCut, and more.
“Sassafras is truly a model company to work with. I know of no other company that is as responsive to users’ needs and concerns.”
“I use KeyServer as the benchmark for evaluating all of our corporate software.“
“We absolutely love KeyServer and would not be able to run our labs without it! The program is fantastic.“
