Alloy Software released Alloy Discovery Enterprise version 8, a Network Inventory and Discovery solution that offers several new features and improvements based on direct feedback from consumers.

New features in Alloy Discovery Enterprise 8 include:

- Google Chromebook Integration: Alloy Discovery Enterprise 8 leverages Google API to extract Chromebook data. Now you can collect and report on inventory data and perform system management tasks on Chrome devices. This integration provides you with a conveniently consolidated view of your Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook computers as well as other networked devices, providing even more comprehensive asset management capabilities.

- Improved Software Recognition: Alloy Discovery Enterprise 8 adds new tools to its software recognition arsenal. Now you can create software recognition rules based on custom registry keys. This will help detect tricky software and differentiate from software editions, such as Standard vs. Pro. Now Alloy Discovery Enterprise distinguishes products running on different platforms, but having the same identification information; including Product Name, Version and Publisher, such as Adobe Acrobat for Windows and for Mac. In addition, software recognition rules now can be applied on the fly. Your changes will affect not only future software scans, but also previously detected software installations. With this immediate feedback, it is much faster and easier to fine tune recognition rules to fit your needs.

- Scheduled Task Analysis: Now Alloy Discovery Enterprise is able to inventory scheduled tasks on managed client machines.

- Improved Data Filtering: Analyzing your inventory data with Advanced Filters is now easier than ever. The Filter Builder’s user interface has been completely redesigned to provide a more intuitive and streamlined user-friendly experience and now supports drag-and-drop.

Alloy Discovery Enterprise 8 is available.
