Xensam Xearch Agent

The Proprietary Software Recognition Powerhouse

Superior software recognition begins with raw inventory data that requires superior data-gathering techniques. Xensam’s proprietary Xearch agent is the powerhouse of our market-leading software recognition capabilities. It reports daily on all necessary data, including detailed software, hardware, and architectural information, and user interaction data.

Developed and maintained in-house by Xensam’s expert engineers, the Xearch agent utilizes the industry’s most advanced software recognition technology to generate granular and accurate data. The agent utilizes AI algorithms that identify file density and usage to detect actual applications with up to 99% accuracy.

The Lightweight Agent

Xensam’s Xearch agent is lightweight and agile, running in the background after installation on as little as 1% of the local CPU, leaving the network’s bandwidth unaffected during reporting. It is multi-platform ready and can be deployed on Windows, Linux, and all MacOS operating systems.

The Agent is easy to deploy out-of-the-box, with most customers achieving total roll-out across their environments within weeks for instant access to quality data with minimal system footprint.

The Xearch Agent is a secure method for data collection, adhering strictly to GDPR requirements. The daily reports run on encrypted network traffic to ensure optimal data privacy, gathering data regardless of where devices are located worldwide.

Unparalleled Saas Support

The Xearch Agent has natively in-built web application recognition technology, offering unparalleled SaaS support to enterprises with cloud-dominated tech stacks. Unlike legacy tools, the agent removes the need for clunky browser extensions and plug-ins. It was one of the first solutions to use secure URL tracking to achieve more precise and multi-faceted web app recognition.

Custom Inventory

Xensam has developed a feature that allows the inventorying of application components stored outside the primary executable or registry key. This enables discovering separate product modules and add-ons within applications and differentiates between paid and trial software versions to deliver more granular insights.

In addition, the platform provides Active Usage Tracking of each of these components to illuminate which modules and add-ons are utilized. The Custom Inventory function is native to the Xearch Agent and available to all Xensam customers.

Active Usage Tracking

Xenam’s Xearch Agent is the only inventory client on the market with the ability to recognize what application is being opened and what is being actively used. This supports detecting new applications and contributes to vital consumption data to optimize utilization.
