IT Asset Management Software for Enterprises


 
 

Desktop Central has worked very well for us. One important function that we use regularly is to retrieve the details of the software installed in the managed PC's. This helps us to keep track of the licenses of the commercial software and to be compliant. The support is outstanding, technicians will quickly diagnose the problem and the few times I required a patch it was available next day. Really GREAT!
