Asset inventory accuracy	82Cross-platform inventory spans the documented Windows, macOS, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris environments, with agentless and command-line collection; verify that its collected fields match the buyer’s ownership and configuration requirements.	84API-based reconciliation is a core stated capability, and the facts cover hardware inventory, ownership, and location. The supplied material does not quantify record accuracy, so the score reflects useful stated scope rather than a verified performance rate.
Audit and reconciliation quality	76Inventory discovery and reconciliation are in the documented scope, while physical audit, discrepancy, duplicate, and verification controls are not described in detail; validate the required reconciliation workflow.	70Reconciling records from existing systems is relevant to audit and discrepancy work, but the supplied facts do not specifically establish physical audit, duplicate resolution, or discrepancy-management workflows.
Lifecycle and ownership control	74The product scope includes lifecycle context and operational management, but assignment, transfer, return, and retirement steps are not detailed here; map the required custody stages during the demo.	80Hardware ownership and lifecycle tracking plus a visual workflow builder support lifecycle coordination. The source facts do not detail each transition or its controls, so buyers should validate their specific workflows.
Financial and depreciation support	72The supplied scope identifies IT asset management but does not detail cost, depreciation, warranty, lease, or disposal records; confirm the finance fields and reports needed for the buyer’s process.	54The supplied facts mention asset costs and lifecycle in the buyer context but do not establish depreciation calculations, accounting integration, or financial controls. Buyers should verify these before relying on it for finance decisions.
Asset data governance and visibility	82Zones support entity-level data separation and reporting is available through a read-only API and Power BI data source; confirm permission, audit-trail, and write-back requirements for the intended governance model.	78Governed asset lifecycle data and reconciliation are stated strengths, and Enterprise provides additional software governance and write-back capabilities. Specific permissions, audit-trail, and field-standard details are not supplied.
Procurement and disposal workflow	72Operational asset management is documented, but request approvals, receiving, stockroom movements, and secure disposal are not specified; check those exact steps against the procurement and retirement process.	62Lifecycle workflows may support coordination, but the supplied facts do not describe procurement approvals, receiving, stockroom movements, returns, or disposal controls in enough detail to assume coverage.
