AssetExplorer, comprehensive IT asset management (ITAM) software, is replacing its existing asset discovery agent with a unified agent courtesy of Endpoint Central, the unified endpoint management solution from ManageEngine. The unified agent helps IT administrators harness Endpoint Central's mature agent-based asset discovery capabilities in AssetExplorer.

In addition to robust asset discovery, the unified agent helps leverage Endpoint Central's ITAM capabilities within AssetExplorer
