The acquisition angle is interesting given how much of the core system is already validated.
Curious whether the main value in a buyer’s eyes is the existing codebase, or the Windows/AD integration that still needs real-world validation.
Good question. Honestly, I'd say most of the real value is in the core validated system — network discovery, asset inventory, endpoint security posture, vulnerability correlation (NVD/CISA KEV), SNMP monitoring, and the risk/alerting engine tying it all together. That's the bulk of the engineering, and it works today against real infrastructure without needing AD at all.
The AD/LDAP piece is real, working code — read-only sync, nested-group privilege calculation — but it's additive rather than load-bearing. It makes the product more complete for AD-heavy mid-market shops, but the core product stands on its own without it. So you're not betting on unproven AD magic; you're getting a working visibility/security engine, plus an AD integration that just needs a real domain environment to finish validating end-to-end.
That makes sense. The fact that the core system already works against real infrastructure makes the acquisition case much clearer than betting on the AD integration alone.
Small and mid-sized companies run real Windows infrastructure but can't afford enterprise visibility tools. NodeSentinel gives them that visibility locally — no cloud, no per-seat fees.

Appreciate you digging into it — good luck with Beryxa too!
