CI Discovery is available in 2 formats: CI Discovery and CI Discovery Remote. Both auditing software packages offer parallel functionality and do not require a client installation. However, CI Discovery Remote has the added convenience of being able to run audits without the use of network login scripts. The Remote piece also offers automatic detection of machines on your network and the ability to run audits on demand without any intervention at the workstation level. (Details on Remote Audits)
