We'll scan any given network and asses the security focus on:

1. Installed Antivirus

   1. AV 1 (version, last scan)
   2. ...........
   3. AV n (version, last scan)

2. Anti Spyware

3. Firewall

4. Open ports (both workstations/servers and SNMP devices)

What would you like to see in addition?

The ability to schedule discovery scans on an given interval basis (Every day, week, month etc).

Do you think it's a must have feature? Nice to have one?

Please add your specific use case.

Should be able to purchase Network Discovery for once license - don't need for every tech

We'll initiate a notification, in real time, whenever the following events occur:

This awesome feature will potentially enable you to earn more!

Do you have additional event examples that can help your business grow?

scheduled scan with mapping

Select a single, multiple or all of the devices which the agent isn't installed on, and deploy and install them at once ( windows PC and Servers discovered)

The network discovery option should be a free option.
Now we run a free tool on a customer device. There are so many free tools which are doing a excellent job in network discovery. Very strange we have to pay for it separate in Atera. Realy don't understand this choice.

A network mapping tool, to replace the manual Visio diagrams. IT would then have the option to show information like IP address, Mac Address, device type, and more. Finally this network map would be exportable to a 3d party program format.

Thank you for considering this idea

Please create a way to hide "Network Discovery" from the menu for those of use not interested in purchasing that feature. Having "Network Discovery" with a "+1" bubble is visually annoying.

It would be helpful to be able to set the IP Range, that will be scanned. Haveing a Network with different Ranges connected trough VPNs and haveing a Domain, now we are not able to distribute the Agents to machines in other IP-Range then the Server with his Agent is.

Network Discovery: Auto-Deploy AteraAgent if not detected on machine.

Configure at customer/domain level and schedule your scan. If AteraAgent is not detected it is installed (laptop, server, desktop, etc).

Atera should provide suggestions or fixes for each gaps identified in Network discovery scan report.
example : open ports - what is best practice and how to close the port and how dangerius is that port.

The new update tool is still short coming. It can't detect Router, switches, NASes and even Printer. It should be able to detect UPnP devices. Even standard Windows 10 can scan and list these devices. A free tool like Advanced IP Scanner can detect better. This tool needs to be seriously re-tooled to a level that can be used in corporate environment.

ADD SNMP TEMPLATES TO FOLDERS SO THEY AUTO APPLY TO EACH NODE IN THAT FOLDER. RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO ASSIGN THEM 1 BY 1 AND APPLY.

Scan for unsecured sensitive data such as Credit Card and Social Security numbers. A score-based report would be nice with this as well.

Network Discovery should how progress to know that it is working instead of finding out it failed after 3 hours. Other agents I use scan and begins showing the assets it finds as they are found. Further, these discoveries take under 30 minutes. So, you know if there is an issue pretty quickly. Waiting 3 hours to see if you have an issue is not reasonable.

We have locations with an SDWAN setup where the public IP address of domain controllers change. Each time this happens network scanning stops because the scanning is based off of the public IP address of the server. We would like to be able to set up scanning simply based on the Private addresses.

I'd love to be able to input all our clients custom SNMP community strings and have Network Discovery use those as well as the default "public" string

once you enter creds for a customer, have an option to apply those creds to all devices being used for a network discovery. right now we have to enter the username and password for each (ex: domain controller) that the customer has in order to start the network discovery for each.

I like the feature present in Spiceworks that sends a weekly report about what's new on the network in form of a resumee sent by email about newly installed software on machines (very useful and sometimes alerting), multiple instances of antiviruses on the same machine, antions needed on some network devices (eg printers).
(I'm unsure if it's already present in Atera)
