I would have to agree with this too. Unless you are looking at a multifaceted approach where you can compare two 
different sources of knowledge then use the config mgmt tools to cover that baseline is pretty adequate until....

You have client computers and hardware along that level to track. So in that instance since everything has an IP these 
days then phpIPAM or similar can do quite the job storing serial numbers, makes, models, descriptions and tracking the 
on and offline status plus plenty more.
