Do you need agentless?
• Do you have agent-intolerant devices in your environment?
• Do you have servers on which you are allowed to install an agent?
• Do you want to use your K1000 to inventory all your network connected devices printers, routers, switches, etc….?
What can agentless do for you?
To use agentless or not to use agentless that is the question
• Collect inventory from SNMP enabled devices – routers, switches, printers, etc…
• Collect inventory from more operating systems & versions – unsupported by agents
• Add a variety of new discover options that you can combine and save for different discovery requirements.
