Atera's Network Discovery provides complete visibility into your IT environment by continuously mapping, analyzing, and reporting on connected devices and networks. Each scan identifies network components, builds an inventory with detailed device information, detects vulnerabilities, and automatically keeps your data up to date — ensuring you always have a real-time view of your network health.

Note:

• A free 14-day trial is available and will automatically deactivate when the trial ends. This means that the subscription will not start automatically afterward.
• For Enterprise users, Network Discovery is already included in your subscription.
• For Superpower users, Network Discovery is already included in your subscription.
