Trusted by small businesses worldwide
We had no idea what was actually installed across our machines until we set up KnowIT. Within a day we found software that shouldn't have been there and licences we were paying for that nobody used.
KnowIT gave us the visibility we needed without being intrusive. Setup was straightforward, the dashboard is clean, and the team had no complaints once we explained what it does.
We manage three offices across two countries. KnowIT lets us see what's happening on every device from one screen. It's become part of how we run the business.
