A software inventory tool that stays current by itself
A software inventory is only useful while it is true, and manually maintained inventories stop being true within weeks. Monitic's software inventory is collected automatically by the same agent that manages the endpoint: every installed application, with its version, on every machine — updated when something actually changes, and connected to the security and spend questions the inventory exists to answer.
Every application, every version, every endpoint
The agent inventories installed software with version detail and keeps it current without scans to schedule or agents to poke. Version granularity is the difference between a list and a tool: "Is that application installed" is a compliance question, but "which endpoints still run the vulnerable version" is the question that matters during an incident — and Monitic answers it fleet-wide, per company, per unit, in seconds. Unauthorized software surfaces the same way: filter for what should not be there and see exactly where it is.
Change detection with a trail
Collection is checksum-based — the record updates only when the software on a device actually changes, and each change is kept as a dated entry. New application installed on a server, an agent-managed workstation quietly acquiring a torrent client, a critical tool uninstalled before a failure: each is an event in the trail, not a diff you reconstruct from old exports. For audits, the trail answers "what changed since the last review" directly; for operations, it keeps the inventory clean enough that your team actually uses it.
From versions to vulnerabilities: CVE matching
Because the inventory knows versions, it can know exposure. Monitic matches installed software against CVE data, so the inventory doubles as the discovery layer for Vulnerability Management: a newly published CVE becomes a concrete list of affected endpoints rather than a research task. From there the platform closes the loop — the same console that found the vulnerable installs can drive the patching. This is the practical argument for one agent and one data model: the inventory, the risk, and the fix share the same source of truth.
Licenses and subscriptions in the same view
Software you deploy is money you spend. Monitic's subscription manager tracks licenses and subscriptions alongside the deployed inventory, so entitlement and reality sit in one place — seats bought versus installs found, renewals visible before they auto-renew, and shelfware identifiable as the gap between the two. See Subscription Management for the spend side of the inventory.

Frequently asked questions
How does Monitic keep the software inventory up to date?
The agent collects installed software automatically and uses checksum-based change detection — the record updates when something actually changes, and every change is kept as a dated trail entry.
Can we find endpoints running a vulnerable version of an application?
Yes. The inventory records versions and matches them against CVE data, so a published vulnerability resolves to a concrete list of affected endpoints.
Does it help with license compliance?
Yes. The subscription manager tracks licenses and subscriptions alongside deployed software, so you can compare entitlements to actual installs and catch renewals before they land.
Can we detect unauthorized software?
Yes. Because the inventory is current and fleet-wide, unexpected applications surface as soon as they appear — and each install is a dated event in the change trail.
