Overview

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.

runZero Likes & Dislikes

Like

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

Like

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

Like

I like the ease of use and reporting.

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

Dislike

The CPEs it provides are too generic

Dislike

There have been issues being in a large organization running scans which have alerted other units who were not aware.

    An excellent inventory tool

    5.0
    Sep 29, 2023
    runZero has been an excellent company to work with. As we say, you can't secure what you can't see, and I needed to know what was out there in a highly distributed environment that has 22 business lines, each with a high degree of disparity in their technology needs. From cameras, drones, ICS, SCADA, radios, non-traditional IoT devices, and traditional IT infrastructure. The runZero team has been highly engaged and dedicated to our success, working extensively with our SecOps to deploy and configure Explorers and collaborating on OT and IoT fingerprints. We've matured significantly in our asset inventory and event response because of this partnership and I think I'd have a mutiny on my hands if I ever took it away!
