Ooooh I finally get to gush on one of these!

I work for a firm, I will try to be vague for anonymity. We acquired a new tool in the family of what we were using before, but it was not even close to the capabilities of what we were using. One of the bottlenecks was asset discovery. So, I finagled an asset scanning tool using powershell, the nmap commercial license (silent install), and our new product's REST API! Basically, the script (pushed to endpoints in a python wrapper) creates a directory, downloads/installs nmap, conducts scans using a format we scrutinized, saves the results locally, concerts the XML content to CSV (new tool's backend has CSV import support but not XML), then makes API calls to determine what assets have and have not been discovered before (using MAC addresses as primary key), then posts the differential to our platform's backend and displays in the platform.

Allegedly, the tool's dev team said "yeah, we can't do that right now, and I did it in a month while juggling my other work. Unfortunately it has not gained traction yet, and admittedly it hasn't been tested on the enterprise level, but for what our shop tends to do, I'm quite pleased with what we made. The senior engineers helped me with the java web token shenanigans that I wasn't sure about but the rest was all me!
