Reading the Device Software Tab

Reviewed 24/09/2026
Platform Navigation · OpenFrame Onboarding

Every device's detail page has a Software tab — a live inventory of what's actually installed on that machine. It's one of the most useful pages for answering "what's on this box?" without touching the box. This guide covers how to read it.

Where it is

Open any device from Devices (or from a customer's Devices tab), then click the Software tab on its detail page. The header shows a count — e.g. Installed Software (33) — so you know the inventory size at a glance.

What each column tells you

Each installed application is one row:

  • Software — the app name, its version, and the vendor (e.g. Microsoft Corporation).
  • Source — where it came from / how it's tracked: Windows, Chrome, and so on. Useful for separating OS components from browser extensions and third-party apps.
  • Vulnerabilities — a per-app indicator. No Issues means the installed version isn't flagged; anything else is your cue to look closer (and it ties directly into the Vulnerabilities tab).
  • Last Opened — when the app was last used, or Never. Handy for spotting stale or unused software worth cleaning up.

What to do with it

  • Audit an install. Confirm a piece of software (and the right version) is actually present after a deployment.
  • Find the unused. Sort by Last Opened to surface apps nobody's touched — candidates for removal.
  • Spot risk early. The Security column is your first hint that something installed needs attention; follow it into Tracking Device Vulnerabilities (Phase 4) for the detail.
  • Answer client questions. "Is X installed across this client's machines?" becomes a quick check instead of a site visit.

Quick checklist

  • Opened a device's Software tab and noted the installed count
  • Read the columns: Software/version/vendor, Source, Security, Last Opened
  • Used Last Opened to spot stale software
  • Treated a non-"No Issues" Security flag as a prompt to check Vulnerabilities

What's next

The Software tab tells you what's installed; the Vulnerabilities tab tells you what's risky. See Tracking Device Vulnerabilities (Phase 4).

Based on OpenFrame v0.9.19. The Software inventory is collected by the agent and evolves between releases — what's on the device wins.

MSP AI Agents

Yes. In production MSP shops today, 10% to 25% of tickets close before a human opens them. Thread alone has processed 173 million tickets across 750-plus MSP partners at 96% triage accuracy, handing back 490,000-plus technician hours. Agents own the low-risk, high-volume work (password resets, MFA enrollment, known installs, onboarding and offboarding) and flag anything that touches production data or needs judgment for a human to take.
On a five-person desk, reported deployments show $78,000 to $130,000 in annual direct labor savings, roughly 30% fewer escalations, and 15% to 20% better SLA compliance. Broader MSP adoption data adds ticket handling time cut by 45% and five to 12 points of margin, all from reclaimed capacity rather than headcount cuts.

Getting Started

The People Hub is Flamingo's internal home for the team. Every employee can browse the team roster, open a colleague's “Who Am I” profile, share what they shipped each month, and keep their own profile up to date. Managers additionally see performance insights built on the SPACE framework.

About OpenFrame

OpenFrame isn't built to plug into your stack. It replaces it. Instead of duct-taping a dozen tools together (RMM, MDM, SIEM, patching, remote access, each its own login and bill), we bundle it into one unified platform: RMM, MDM, monitoring, automation, remote access, patch management, security monitoring, and ticketing, plus built-in AI copilots. So "does it integrate with X?" usually means: you won't need X anymore.

No. A MAM selective wipe removes org data from managed apps and leaves the apps and personal data in place. Wiping the whole device, or the work partition, needs MDM enrollment.
Nine, per Ivanti's own End of Life index: Cherwell Service Management, Cherwell Asset Management, Service Desk (Powered by LANDESK), Desktop & Server Management, Endpoint Security (Powered by HEAT), PatchLink, Workspace Control, Virtual Desktop Extender and Browser Manager. DSM 2026.1 is the sharpest case, since it shipped on 13 January 2026 and loses full support in December of the same year.
Not since iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26. Apple supports moving managed devices between management services without wiping, but only for devices enrolled through Automated Device Enrollment, and not for Shared iPad or devices configured for Return to Service with app preservation. Apps survive on iPhone and iPad only if the new service delivers them before the DeviceConfigured command. Apple also states that you need to re-create your enrollment profile and configurations in the new service.
No vendor documents an import path from Ivanti EPM. ManageEngine's migration-paths page, updated 26 August 2026, lists Ivanti DSM, Ivanti EPMM and Ivanti Neurons as supported sources and omits EPM. NinjaOne and Microsoft do not document one either. Patch policies, provisioning templates, LANDesk scripts, inventory history and custom fields get rebuilt rather than migrated.
Releases 22.7, 22.8, 25.1.0.x, 25.1.1.x and 25.1.2.x all end support on 31 January 2027. Only 25.1.3.x reaches 30 April 2027. Staying current also means a hardware purchase: Ivanti states that ICS 25.1.2.x runs only on new ISA 6500 and ISA 8500 hardware, with 25.1.3.x and later adding supported virtual and cloud environments.
It is the total power a switch can supply across all its ports, which is almost always less than ports times the per-port maximum. Add up the device draws at their IEEE class: 802.3af phones at 12.95 W, 802.3at access points and cameras at 25.5 W, 802.3bt devices at 51 W or 71.3 W. Add 20% headroom and buy a switch whose total budget exceeds that figure.
