Sassafras overview

What is Sassafras?

30+ years in the making, Sassafras AllSight is a hardware and software asset manager like no other. Originally built back when every bite counted, the integrated, on-prem server process and lightweight client deliver reliable data about computer and software inventory and usage with surprisingly little overhead.

Compatible with any Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS device, the client reports hardware configuration details, software installations, and usage information back to the server, and it’s even capable of controlling access to software based on rules and license limits defined on the server. Concurrent use, device/node, user lease, and many common datacenter license metrics are all available.

Featuring Active Directory, Azure AD, Google, and Okta integrations for user logins, AllSight’s federated access makes sharing the right data with the right users convenient and easy.

Platform agnostic, lightweight, and easy to deploy and use, the integrated server process needs only an out-of-the-box Windows, Mac, or Linux OS to run, while the powerful admin console and intuitive, built-in web portal make consuming and sharing data a breeze.

The hardware database is designed to hold any and all IT equipment, from computers and mobile devices to monitors, disk drives, networking equipment and more. Customizable asset fields let you easily assign and transfer equipment between departments and users, and our loaner pool manager allows makes the check-in/check-out process easier than ever.

For more focused IT management goals, consider Sassafras LabSight for computer lab monitoring, or Sassafras KeySight for concurrent use software license management.

Key benefits of using Sassafras

• Automated Inventory: Client automatically discovers computer configuration details, including external monitors and installed software applications, to deliver trustworthy details about each Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS machine (including virtual and thin-client). Sassafras’ cloud-hosted Product Recognition Service (PRS) then normalizes virtually every software product installed on client computers.

• Hardware Tracking: Manage all of your IT hardware from purchase order to disposal with our full-featured hardware asset management tools, including: computers, Chromebooks, mobile devices, printers, displays, networking hardware and more. Import purchase records and asset details prior to deployment, and automatically track hardware properties, login details, software installations and usage events, plus much more, throughout the lifecycle of each unit.

• Availability Maps: Provide visibility into computer usage and availability across campuses or offices worldwide with geographic and floorplan maps. Computers are easily grouped with Active Directory OU mapping or automatic filters, and then each location is easily dropped onto dynamic geographic maps. Computer groups can then be viewed as lists, or a floorplan can be drawn up using our fully integrated CAD drawing tools. Software search functionality allows end users to locate available computers that have the products they need.

• Usage Reporting: Every OS login, software application launch, and user-defined cloud-product is observed by KeyServer. Usage stats include the computer, user, and location. Detailed usage reports, spanning any date range, computer, software, and/or user group are generated instantly. Reports can be scheduled to run on a regular basis and automatically emailed to stakeholders, or run on-demand from pre-configured “One-click” buttons saved to user dashboards. Excel, PDF, text, xml, and our dynamic KSR export formats are all supported.

• License Management: Software policies give you complete, automated control of who, when, and where an application can be used based on the terms of your license agreement. Concurrent use (CUL), device, user, and leased licensing are supported for standard desktop applications, while PVU, socket, and processor-based license metrics are supported in the data center.

• Software Compliance: Software asset management begins with the purchase order. Enter purchase data manually or import it directly into AllSight via spreadsheet, with reusable field maps for bulk imports in your native format. Software purchase records reconcile directly with license management policies, automatically helping maintain compliance by enforcing license limits. Compliance reports compare purchased entitlements to usage data, providing a unique, audit ready compliance position for each software product.

• Flexible Architecture: Keep things simple with default settings that work great in most environments, or fine tune to fit your unique needs with customization options for any environment. Known as the most flexible, reliable, and lightweight ITAM solution in the industry, AllSight also offers unparalleled compatibility for data integrations, with easy spreadsheet imports, REST API, ODBC, JDBC, and Excel exports, and connectors for TeamDynamix, ServiceNow, PaperCut, Intune, Jamf, Google, Azure AD, Okta, and more.

• Award-winning Support: Pioneers of the IT Asset Management industry and engineered in the USA since 1989, Sassafras Software has set the standard for Software Asset Management for over three decades. By constantly evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing software licensing environment, we remain the premier ITAM software provider for government institutions, corporations, and universities worldwide.
