Why AssetSonar?
AssetSonar provides IT teams with a single connected system for managing assets, software, service requests, patching, SaaS usage, contracts, users, and offboarding workflows. Everything runs on the IT Graph, so IT teams can move from visibility to action without jumping between disconnected tools. Get the context needed to resolve issues faster, automate routine work, and maintain a clear record of every action taken.
Ivanti Neurons offers a broad portfolio of IT capabilities, but teams may need to navigate multiple products, tiers, or integrations. AssetSonar offers operational simplicity for mid-market teams and keeps workflows connected from the start at an affordable price.
What We Bring to the Table
One IT Graph for Every Workflow
Ivanti Neurons connects ITSM and ITAM, so assets can support service work. AssetSonar goes further by making the IT Graph the operating layer behind every asset, ticket, license, patch, contract, user, and CI.
That means context is not something technicians search for after a request arrives. Device ownership, warranty status, installed software, patch gaps, license assignments, and open tickets are already connected to the record. When IT needs to act, the system knows what is affected and who owns it.
One Platform, Zero Add-On Maze
AssetSonar keeps the daily IT stack together: ITAM, ITSM, patch management, SAM, workflow automation, Zoe, and lifecycle control run from one connected platform for mid-market IT teams today.
The result is simpler planning and faster execution. Your team spends less time asking what is included and more time closing tickets, reducing software waste, patching risks, managing lifecycle actions, and proving work was completed.
Ivanti Neurons’s modular approach means more products, more tiers, and more decisions to make.
Fast Rollout with Steady Support
AssetSonar is built for teams that need to quickly gain control. Discovery, asset records, software governance, service workflows, patching, and lifecycle processes can be rolled out without adding another operational burden to the platform.
Guided onboarding and a dedicated CSM from go-live help IT leaders refine workflows, improve adoption, and keep momentum as the environment grows. The goal is not just to launch. It is a steady execution after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ivanti Neurons is a modular enterprise ITSM and endpoint management platform packaged across four tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Premium, and Enterprise Premium). Full capability requires navigating tier upgrades and add-on products for AI, patch management, SAM, and identity deprovisioning.
AssetSonar is a unified IT management platform for mid-market IT teams: ITAM + ITSM + patch management + SAM in one platform at one transparent per-asset price with unlimited agents. Where Ivanti Neurons’ power comes from its modularity, AssetSonar’s comes from its integration: everything, asset context, service management, patch workflows, and offboarding automation, runs on the same IT Graph.
AssetSonar is built to consolidate fragmented IT data into a single operational record. Instead of reconciling assets across endpoint tools, spreadsheets, service desks, software systems, and ITSM workflows, teams work from the IT Graph: a connected layer for devices, users, software, licenses, contracts, tickets, patches, and lifecycle history.
Ivanti Neurons has strong enterprise modules, but AssetSonar makes consolidation easier for mid-market teams by turning normalized inventory data into action, not just records.
For mid-size enterprises with 2,000+ employees, AssetSonar is a strong fit when procurement needs to stay connected to asset ownership, software usage, tickets, contracts, and lifecycle history. It also offers IT procurement integrations with various vendors to centralize the procurement process.
Ivanti Neurons offers deep enterprise IT management capabilities, but procurement often sits within a broader modular setup that may require additional configuration. AssetSonar keeps procurement closer to daily IT operations: purchase records, vendors, contracts, warranties, asset assignments, license needs, and lifecycle status live on a single platform.
Yes. AssetSonar helps IT teams manage assets on the move with its mobile app for barcode and QR code scanning. Technicians can scan equipment, update asset records, verify ownership, check location, review lifecycle details, and record changes without returning to a desk.
For teams comparing AssetSonar with Ivanti Neurons, the advantage is operational speed: scanned updates feed into the same IT Graph that connects assets, users, tickets, software, warranties, and workflows.
Yes. AssetSonar helps IT teams identify end-of-life software, vulnerable applications, and devices that need remediation. It connects software inventory with asset records, users, patch status, and service workflows, so teams can see which devices are affected, who owns them, and what action is required. This gives IT and Security better risk visibility without switching between disconnected tools or manually reconciling software data.
Yes. AssetSonar helps IT teams automate onboarding and offboarding by connecting employees, devices, software licenses, access records, and service workflows in one place. For offboarding, the workflow can start when an HR system records a departure, so IT does not have to wait for a manual request. Teams can track assigned hardware, reclaim software licenses, revoke access, transfer ownership, and maintain a clear record of completed actions.
Compared to Ivanti Neurons’ IT Service Management module, AssetSonar is more focused on turning on/offboarding changes into complete IT execution, not just structured ticketing.
G2 and Gartner Peer Insights reviewers consistently note a steep learning curve with Ivanti Neurons. Users have noted an overwhelming initial configuration effort and a need for additional training or consulting to maximize the use of advanced features. Professional services engagement is typical for initial setup and integration.
AssetSonar can be implemented in 7-14 days with no extra setup cost. Every customer is assigned a dedicated CSM from go-live, the same person for the life of the account.
Yes. AssetSonar helps IT teams manage the full asset lifecycle, from requisition and procurement to assignment, maintenance, software tracking, software usage, audits, returns, retirement, and disposal. Teams can use workflow automation to standardize approvals, track ownership changes, trigger service actions, manage warranties, reclaim licenses, and maintain a clear record of every lifecycle event. This gives enterprise IT teams better control over assets before purchase, during use, and at secure retirement.
