What BelManage is
BelManage is a software asset and configuration management product for tracking software licenses, maintenance costs, and cybersecurity status. It builds a central repository of software, hardware, and security configuration details. Asset management capabilities include license optimization, virtual machine dependency mapping, server software discovery, an operational CMDB, and a software catalog. Configuration monitoring can identify authorized and unauthorized applications by version, track additions and removals of software and hardware, and compare systems with standard images. Security and audit capabilities include NIST security controls and benchmarks, FISMA compliance, and vulnerability assessments and scans.
BelManage can run on premises, in a customer’s cloud, or as SaaS hosted by Belarc. Monitored clients include Windows desktops and servers, Apple macOS and Linux systems, and many Solaris versions. Installable and agent-less approaches are available. Communication with clients and report viewers uses encrypted HTTPS; U.S. Government customers can use PKI/CAC authentication, and the product does not require Domain or SSH user credentials. Yearly pricing starts at $10 per computer for on-premises or self-hosted use. SaaS plans include Base and Plus options, with Change History and BelSecure included in Plus. Belarc offers a hosted demo server or an in-house trial.

BelManage suits organizations that need a central inventory of software, hardware, and security configurations alongside license optimization and configuration monitoring.
