SAM Tools
SAM tools coverage on license position, entitlement match, and whether a suite or a modular stack actually answers the audit question. Posts here compare tools on licensing output, not on discovery coverage alone.
ITAM Tools is the inventory and lifecycle file. Tooling is the broader stack conversation. Lansweeper, NinjaOne, and Proactivanet are vendor-specific. Use this category when the buying decision is a SAM product.
