Product Information on runZero

Updated 13th October 2025

What is runZero?

runZero is a software designed for asset discovery and inventory management within enterprise networks. It provides comprehensive visibility into connected devices by scanning and identifying hardware, software, and network attributes without requiring credentials or agents. runZero helps organizations locate unmanaged, unknown, or rogue assets and maps connections across networks for security and operational oversight. The software integrates with various security and IT management tools, enabling correlation and normalization of asset data. This facilitates the detection of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps. By automating asset inventory and network mapping, the software addresses challenges of shadow IT and asset sprawl in complex environments.

runZero Pricing

runZero software uses a subscription-based pricing model structured around tiers that reflect the number of assets to be managed. Pricing varies by organization size, with options for monthly or annual payments. The software may offer a limited free tier for smaller environments and paid plans with expanded features and increased asset capacity for larger deployments.

“Simple to deploy and manage with good integrations, but room to grow on data source coverage and documentation.”

Overall we are very happy with RunZero. It is simple to deploy and manage, and has good integrations to key data sources. Its Asset Discovery capabilities through its network scanning is second to none. Areas for improvement would be having more data sources available to integrate with, along with more in-depth documentation on integrations and custom/advanced queries.

Performance of runZero Across Market Features

runZero Likes & Dislikes

Like

It is simple and straightforward to deploy with minimal overhead. It is easy to manage on an ongoing basis without requiring significant resources. Good integrations with key data sources, allowing visibility across the environment. Building on its network scanning capabilities means that RunZero finds things that a lot of other products miss as they rely purely on agents or other systems.

Like

i like that it can identify all the private IPs on the network

Like

It's a very lightweight setup. Requires very little on-prem components which are able to scan and process the entire RFC 1918.

Dislike

Limited number of data sources are available for integration, and broader coverage would be beneficial. Documentation on integrations could be more in-depth and detailed. Documentation on custom and advanced queries needs improvement to help users get the most out of the platform.

Dislike

The CPEs it provides are too generic

Dislike

- Whilst the integrations cover all the major asset products it would be good to see it ingest more data from other agent based cloud solutions natively (eg Netskope) - More out of the box email templates and scan templates would be great to see in the product - No AI (yet) searching or to help generate search queries
