    It works okay for auditing existing network systems but seems to have trouble with cloud configurations.

    Network documentation at its best. It helps in technical documentation. Very efficient in documenting all the assets in your network and importing data from CSV files. Gives you a detailed graphical overview of the entire IT Infrastructure. Helps to manage all components including the desktop, printer, and mobile. Handles everything including the hardware, software, and networks.

    Micro Focus Universal Discovery and Universal CMDB is well suited for medium to large IT operations after a careful review and strategy definition of all support tools that will be integrated. When it comes to deciding on a set of tools for IT operation management and its different processes like Incident, event, and change management; a good approach would be to create a roadmap with the integrated suite of tools to create a native ecosystem and reduce complexity on the integration and adoption.
