What is AppScout?

AppScout is a powerful browser extension that gives organizations complete visibility into their digital landscape by uncovering all applications used across machines and browsers. It operates seamlessly in the background, detecting every app an employee interacts with—providing businesses with accurate, real–time insights into their software ecosystem.

Why it Matters

AppScout matters because it enables organizations to have full transparency over their entire software ecosystem. It helps identify both sanctioned and unsanctioned applications across all users and devices, providing critical visibility into software usage. This is crucial for optimizing costs, enhancing security, and improving IT decision–making.
