  • Change Tracking: Nine out of ten security problems result from changes. Change Reports automatically flag any changes in servers, workstations, or devices throughout your environment. Change reports are indispensable when it comes to security maintenance and problem resolution.
  • Full Scheduling Capability: Scheduling allows administrators to save countless hours by automatically scheduling recurring security, data collection, or change reports.
  • Built-in Reports: The 2.0 line features hundreds of project-specific reports as well as customizable reports.
  • Summary Reports: Summary reports enable users to see key configuration settings, like security patches, across many servers and devices.

The software can be installed from an administrator's workstation and doesn't require any agents to be installed on the servers.
