Not the right tool if you need

  • IT asset discovery or device management: there is no network scanning, agent or MDM.
  • GPS or telematics tracking of vehicles and moving equipment.
  • Certified audits or compliance attestation (OSHA, EPA, ISO, HIPAA): FindThings keeps the records, it does not certify them.
  • A contractual uptime SLA: availability is best effort.
  • Replacing an ERP or accounting system: financial output is depreciation, Cost-to-Keep and a depreciation journal file.
  • Predictive maintenance from sensors or IoT: meter readings are entered by people, not streamed.
