Software Inventory

Software Inventory lists every application installed across your devices, with how many versions of each are out there and how many devices run them. Where User Inventory answers “who is using our devices?”, Software Inventory answers “what’s installed on them?”

​

Choosing a tag first

Unlike Devices or Users, Software Inventory opens with a tag picker rather than a table. Across a large estate the full software list is huge and rarely useful as a whole, and most questions are really “what’s installed on my [tag] devices?”, so you pick a tag to scope the list first. To see everything instead, click View all software records under the tags. You can add more tags with + next to the tag at the top of the list. The list then shows software on devices with any of those tags.

​

What’s on the page

The bar at the bottom of the screen shows which sources and devices the counts include, such as All Sources — Active Devices. Click it to change them.

​

Opening a software entry

Click a product to expand it into one row per version, each with its own device count. Click a device count to open Devices filtered to exactly those devices, where you can see who uses them, check their Vitals or track them until the software is removed or updated.

​

Searching and filtering

Use Search software at the top of the screen to find a product by name. It’s a plain-text match on the product name, not the query language. To filter by anything else, scope by tag first, then open the devices from the device count and filter there. To go the other way and find every device that has a product installed, search Devices with a software query, such as software:{product:*Chrome}. See Find devices by installed software.

Common workflows

​

Where the data comes from

Different integrations report software in different ways: Software data is refreshed about every two days, depending on the source, not hourly. A newly installed or updated application can take that long to appear. If software you expect is missing, open the device, click Details and then Software to see the list ThreatAware has for it, and check which of your integrations report software. The Integrations page shows the features each source provides.
