Who we are
About TechScan365
An independent publication for system administrators whose IP records have stopped matching their networks.

What the name means
Every DHCP server keeps a lease table: a running account of which address went to which MAC, and until when. It is the closest thing most networks have to an honest ledger of address use, and it is usually the first place an admin looks when the documentation and reality disagree. TechScan365 takes its name from that table and its point of view from that moment of disagreement.
Who it is for
The reader we have in mind runs infrastructure for a small or mid-sized organisation: a solo admin at a manufacturer with three sites, a two-person IT team at a school trust, an MSP technician who inherited a client’s address plan as a workbook with eleven tabs. They know what a /23 is and how to read a DHCP scope. What they want is a clear view of which tools will keep the address record accurate without becoming a project of their own — what each costs, what it runs on, what it does well and where it will disappoint.
Who edits it
Every entry in TechScan365 is planned, researched and approved by its editor, Husanjon Ruzaliev, who also owns the job of fixing whatever proves inaccurate. The pages say “we” because each one goes through the same written process instead of resting on personal impressions; still, one named editor is accountable for all of them. You can write to the editor directly at editor@techscan365.lol.
Reviews are researched, not staged. The sources are the vendor’s own documentation, licensing and pricing pages, system requirements and release notes; public demos and trial editions where a vendor offers them; project repositories and issue trackers for the open-source tools; and the long tail of admin forum threads, where the problems a product develops after six months of real use tend to surface. There is no test lab behind these pages and we never pretend otherwise; no benchmark figure or customer anecdote here is made up. Where something could not be confirmed, the page says so or leaves it out.
What we cover
The catalogue currently holds 9 products in three categories: IPAM software that holds the address record, discovery scanners that check which addresses are really in use, and subnet planning tools that shape the plan before either of the others is involved. The selection is ours. No vendor asked to be included, and none can pay to be. Scanning guidance on the site is written for address space you administer or are authorized in writing to assess.
Independence and money
TechScan365 sells, resells and distributes nothing, and no page here is the official website of a product we cover. No software is stored or mirrored on this site; every product link goes to the maker’s own page. None of those links is an affiliate link, and no vendor pays us for coverage, placement or wording — see the affiliate disclosure. The ordering rules on the methodology page apply to every product in the same way. The site is funded by its editor.
Corrections
Licences change, editions get renamed and products are folded into platforms. If you spot a detail on this site that is out of date, email editor@techscan365.lol with the page address and a source. Vendors are welcome to send factual corrections as well; we check them against the vendor’s public material and update the page date whenever we change anything of substance.
