When it comes to Augmentt Discover, we believe in flexibility and power.

Augmentt Discover can collect SaaS usage data using both an Agent and Agentless model.

Here is a quick FAQ to help you differentiate the two options:

Agent

  1. What is it?
    • A lightweight agent that resides on the local machine and captures all browser-based SaaS usage.
  2. Ideal use case
    • RMM agent is already deployed to allow easy scripted deployment of the Augmentt agent in order to collect SaaS usage data from each employee’s individual machine.
  3. Best use for
    • Drilling into employee specific SaaS usage data.
  4. Deployment
    • Deployed via GPO or RMM.
  5. How it works
    • Maps each individual user’s browser history to the Augmentt master list of SaaS applications and provides our default category, as well as productivity and risk scores.
  6. Pros
    • Easy to deploy via RMM or GPO.
    • Provides granular user-based SaaS usage data.
  7. Cons
    • Today’s version only works on Windows-based systems*
    • Will only look at browser-based traffic, not applications installed locally which access the internet.
  8. Summary
    • Best to use the Augmentt Agent if you are looking for individual user’s SaaS data.
    • Easiest to deploy via RMM scripting and only slightly more effort via GPO.
