Any good IT Asset Inventory Software?

Hey guys,

Have any of you had any experience with good IT asset inventory software? I know that there is software that scans the network and gets CPU, RAM, Disk Usage we already use that. I'm looking for software that inventories non-networked and non computer stuff like monitors, bar code scanners, rack equipment, and other mounting equipment ect.

We currently use excel spreadsheets but that has quickly turned into a sh*t show as multiple versions showed up of the same spreadsheet. Then different spreadsheets in different formats with different information all for the same product appeared. It is extremely aggravating referencing a old spreadsheet with bad data when talk to a higher ups.

It would be extremely nice to have a software program that tracks all these "non-computer" (but IT related) things that our IT dept is responsible for. I know of some inventory software that you can enter the product and link to the contact information of the vendor (and also warranty and license data) so when it is time to buy more the procurement process is super fast. But that is for mostly non-IT related things and very expensive so I'm not sure that would work well in an IT dept.

Do any of your guy's IT departments use an IT asset inventory software and does it work well for you?
