Steward IT Census Reviews

Steward IT Census Description

Steward IT Census is a self-hosted software solution designed for IT asset management and network inventory tailored for IT teams. It effectively catalogs a variety of devices including computers, servers, printers, switches, phones, and cameras, and it operates on either a Windows or Linux server (or within Docker) utilizing an integrated database to maintain asset information securely on your network. The software features agentless scanning through WinRM, SSH, and SNMP, which comprehensively covers the office environment, while an optional agent is available for laptops and remote locations. Each version of the software comes with built-in vulnerability management that focuses on the actively exploited list from CISA, as well as patch management and software deployment capabilities. Additionally, it offers around 470 compliance checks, including DISA STIG, Microsoft baselines, and NIST mSCP, along with an asset-linked help desk, a detailed network map, a certificate inventory that supports Let's Encrypt installation and renewal, and integrates inventory management for Active Directory and Microsoft 365. Users can generate over 90 customizable reports and leverage a REST API for further integration. Furthermore, a complimentary edition allows users to access all features for managing up to 100 assets, while those with larger inventories can secure a perpetual license for just $1 per asset, payable once. This comprehensive tool is designed to streamline asset management processes, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of IT operations.
