Instead of accidentally discovering unwanted applications on managed endpoints, I'd like to setup a system of rules that alert me when an application is installed. Not for any installation, but for specific ones that are driven by rules.

Since Atera is already keeping a list of all applications installed on all managed endpoints, I'd like to be able to review that list and add each program to either a whitelist or blacklist. In the future, if an application on the blacklist is detected on an endpoint, I'd like to be alerted and/or take action (preferably in the form of an automation policy to run a script or automatically uninstall the software after review).

There are many reasons for needing this - security is one, but I also need to be able to meet organizational policies for my clients. For instance, if I have a client that works for a government and cannot permit any software from a company that isn't US based to be installed, I'd like to be able to blacklist those programs that I know of (like non-US based antimalware programs).

I'm sure others have different use cases, but this would be really useful to me.
