What Is IT Asset Management?
IT Asset Management (ITAM) is the discipline of tracking, managing, and optimizing an organization’s IT assets throughout their entire lifecycle – from procurement and deployment through maintenance and eventual disposal. ITAM encompasses physical hardware (servers, workstations, laptops, mobile devices, network equipment), software licenses, cloud subscriptions, and the relationships between them.
Effective ITAM answers fundamental questions every IT organization faces:
- What do we own? – complete inventory of hardware and software assets across all locations
- Where is it? – physical location, assigned user, department, and status of every asset
- Are we compliant? – license entitlements vs actual installations; audit readiness; contract terms compliance
- What does it cost? – total cost of ownership; depreciation tracking; warranty and contract spend; SaaS subscription optimization
- When should we replace it? – asset age, warranty expiration, depreciation schedules, end-of-life planning, and refresh cycles
Without ITAM, organizations face license compliance risks (software audits with penalties), shadow IT proliferation, wasted spend on unused licenses and forgotten subscriptions, security vulnerabilities from untracked devices, and inability to plan hardware refresh cycles.

SSO / OIDC Comparison
OIDC is the preferred SSO protocol; the notes below assume Authentik as the external identity provider.
| Tool | OIDC | SAML | SCIM | Authentik Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snipe-IT | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO via laravel-saml2; Authentik as SAML IdP; LDAP sync for users |
| GLPI | No | No | No | No native SSO; LDAP/AD sync; reverse proxy auth possible (HTTP header) |
| Ralph | No | No | No | No native SSO; LDAP sync; reverse proxy auth possible |
| OCS Inventory NG | No | No | No | No SSO; local auth only; LDAP plugin available |
| i-doit open | No | No | No | No SSO; LDAP/AD integration; local auth |
| Open-AudIT Community | No | No | No | No SSO; local auth only |
| CMDBuild | No | No | No | No native SSO; LDAP/AD; reverse proxy auth |
| i-doit pro | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO (pro add-on); LDAP/AD; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Lansweeper | Yes | Yes | No | OIDC and SAML SSO (cloud); Authentik as IdP |
| ManageEngine AE | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD/LDAP integration; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Device42 | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; LDAP/AD sync; Authentik as SAML IdP |

| Freshservice ITAM | Yes | Yes | Yes | Native OIDC and SAML; SCIM directory sync; Authentik as IdP |
| Asset Panda | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Ivanti Neurons | Yes | Yes | Yes | Native OIDC and SAML; SCIM provisioning; Authentik as IdP |
| Snow Software | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD/LDAP; no native OIDC |
| Flexera One | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD/LDAP federation; no native OIDC |
| Oomnitza | Yes | Yes | Yes | Native OIDC and SAML; SCIM; Authentik as IdP |
| InvGate Assets | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| NinjaOne | Yes | Yes | Yes | Native OIDC and SAML; SCIM directory sync; Authentik as IdP |
| Atera | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| ConnectWise | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD federation; no native OIDC |
| SolarWinds SD | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD/LDAP; no native OIDC |
| TOPdesk | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; AD/LDAP; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
Best SSO support: ServiceNow, Freshservice, Ivanti Neurons, Oomnitza, NinjaOne (OIDC + SAML
- SCIM)
No SSO: GLPI, Ralph, OCS Inventory, i-doit open, Open-AudIT, CMDBuild (LDAP/AD or reverse proxy only)
OIDC among OSS: No open source ITAM tool supports native OIDC. Authentik’s SAML provider bridges Snipe-IT. For GLPI and Ralph, reverse proxy authentication via Authentik is the best option.
Monitoring Integration
Monitoring integration with a Telegraf + InfluxDB + Grafana + AlertManager stack.
| Tool | Telegraf Metrics | Fluent Bit Logs | Grafana Dashboards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snipe-IT | Yes (HTTP check, MySQL metrics via Telegraf MySQL input) | Yes (Laravel logs, Apache/Nginx access logs) | Yes (asset count dashboards via API or DB queries) |
| GLPI | Yes (HTTP check, MariaDB metrics) | Yes (PHP logs, Apache/Nginx logs) | Yes (inventory dashboards via GLPI API) |
| Ralph | Yes (HTTP check, PostgreSQL metrics) | Yes (Django logs, Gunicorn logs) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| OCS Inventory NG | Yes (HTTP check, MySQL metrics) | Yes (OCS server logs, Apache logs) | Yes (inventory stats via API) |
| i-doit open | Yes (HTTP check, MariaDB metrics) | Yes (PHP logs, Apache logs) | No (limited API in community edition) |
| Open-AudIT Community | Yes (HTTP check, MySQL metrics) | Yes (Apache logs, scan logs) | No (limited API) |
| CMDBuild | Yes (HTTP check, PostgreSQL metrics) | Yes (Tomcat logs, application logs) | Yes (CMDB dashboards via REST API) |
| i-doit pro | Yes (HTTP check, MariaDB metrics) | Yes (PHP logs, Apache logs) | Yes (CMDB dashboards via API) |
| Lansweeper | Yes (HTTP check, SQL Server metrics) | Yes (scan logs, web logs) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| ManageEngine AE | Yes (HTTP check, DB metrics) | Yes (application logs) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| Device42 | Yes (HTTP check, PostgreSQL metrics) | Yes (application logs) | Yes (CMDB dashboards via API) |
| ServiceNow ITAM | Yes (HTTP check via SaaS endpoint) | No (SaaS – logs not accessible) | Yes (asset dashboards via REST API) |
| Freshservice ITAM | Yes (HTTP check via SaaS endpoint) | No (SaaS – logs not accessible) | Yes (asset dashboards via REST API) |
| Asset Panda | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (basic via API) |
| Ivanti Neurons | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS / hybrid) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| Snow Software | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS / hybrid) | Yes (SAM dashboards via API) |
| Flexera One | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (SAM dashboards via API) |
| Oomnitza | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| InvGate Assets | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| NinjaOne | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (asset dashboards via API) |
| Atera | Yes (HTTP check) | No (SaaS) | Yes (basic via API) |

SaaS limitation: SaaS platforms provide HTTP endpoint monitoring via Telegraf but no direct log access. Grafana dashboards rely on REST API polling for asset data.
