Veeam Reporter automatically discovers and collects

information about your VMware Infrastructure 3 environment, its

components and configuration settings, and provides comprehensive

visual reports for analysis, documentation and decision-making support.

The product is designed for professional use by ESX consultants,

administrators, system integrators and datacenter managers.

Veeam Reporter extends the capabilities of VMware VirtualCenter

Maps, and offers you convenient reports in different formats. The

reports are essential for current infrastructure analysis and planning,

troubleshooting, change management and inventory.

Vizioncore vFoghligth?

Or you mean just for inventory?

In this case RVTools or similar small tools.

you may also want to check out Capacity Analyzer. Very small footprint and scales VERY well.

Hi tdubb123, thank you for chosing Veeam!

Just a quick update - since recently Veeam offers a free monitoring and reporting tool called Veeam ONE Free. It provides a subset of the functionality of the paid edition and has no expiration date.  

You can download Veeam ONE Free here - http://www.veeam.com/virtual-server-management-one-free.html

Please let me know if any questions will appear.

This is a bit of an old post but, just in case anyone else finds it on Google (as I did) and is after a reporting tool for VMWare, I thought I'd point out that our company has created a tool which automatically documents VMWare environments.

I hope it's ok to share a link to it here: VMware Reporting
