About

OCS Inventory NG is open-source asset management software for discovering devices, collecting inventories, and supporting software deployment. Agents gather information from client computers, and a management server centralizes it for a web administration console. IP discovery and SNMP scans can also find network hardware without an OCS agent. Administrators can upload packages for agents to retrieve over HTTP or HTTPS, then view deployment status and statistics. A REST API web service supports compatibility with ITSM-NG, GLPI, CMDBuild, and iTop; plugins can extend collection, storage, administration displays, and task control. CVE Search compares fleet inventory with the CVE-Miter register to identify machines exposed to software vulnerabilities. The free plan includes community support, plugins, and unlimited agents. OCS Cloud is listed at 250.00 EUR per month, while OCS Pro for up to 10,000 agents is listed at 92500.00 EUR per year. The maker announced release candidate 3.0.0-rc2 for testing, not production deployment.

Who it is for

OCS Inventory NG suits teams that need agent-based device inventories, network discovery, or remote package deployment. Its integrations and plugins may also fit teams connecting asset data to ITSM or CMDB tools.

What is good

  • Free plan includes unlimited agents
  • IP and SNMP discovery can find agentless hardware
  • Remote package deployment includes status statistics
  • REST API integrations include ITSM-NG and GLPI
  • CVE Search identifies potentially exposed machines

What to know first

  • Free package includes community support
  • 3.0.0-rc2 is a test release, not for production
  • OCS Cloud costs 250.00 EUR per month
  • Larger OCS Pro pricing is custom

Verdict

OCS Inventory NG combines agent inventory, agentless network discovery, and remote package deployment, with a REST API and plugin extensions. Teams should distinguish its free community package from paid hosting or support options and avoid deploying the listed release candidate in production.
