Your refinery for accurate, clean and actionable IT asset data
Snow has the largest software recognition database which leverages machine learning to recognize, normalize and augment software application usage data into actionable insights to reduce risk and optimize spend.
Key Benefits From an Accurate and Normalized IT Asset Database
SPEND SMARTLY
Normalized technology usage data provides insights to identify unused accounts, duplicate users and unnecessary, expensive subscriptions and license compliance risks. Automatic categorization of hundreds of thousands of applications helps organizations drive portfolio rationalization.
MITIGATE RISK
The top barrier to patching vulnerabilities is the inability to manage updates in one place and prioritize them effectively. Overcome this problem with a complete database all applications installed, augmented with intelligence of known vulnerabilities, EOL/EOS dates and applications with PII risks.
CMDB ACCURACY
85% of CMDB implementations fail due to poor data quality. Reduce the number of data feeds and get clean, complete data for your CMDB.
INNOVATE FASTER
With trusted IT asset data at your fingertips, IT professionals across your organization will save time on a multitude of initiatives, from developing your IT strategy to migrating applications to improving your cybersecurity posture or making progress towards sustainability goals.
