Microsoft SQL Server is a widely used database solution. For SAM Pro to determine licensing accurately, the discovery solution must provide all required details, such as edition, CPU core count, CMDB relationships, and other key attributes.

This comparison matrix helps you identify the most suitable discovery solution for discovering Microsoft SQL Server across your hybrid environment for ServiceNow SAM Pro license compliance and optimization determination. 

 

The analysis is based on three layers:

  1. Install – the software install record, which includes details such as version and edition.
  2. Installed on – the configuration item where the software resides or is installed.
  3. Underlying infrastructure – the infrastructure hosting the CI, such as an on-premises cluster or cloud environment.
