- Finds overly permissive rules
- Finds redundant rules/unused object (junk)
- Acts as a snapshot in time config repository (backup system)
- Helps compare configs from one day to the next to see exactly what changed and who changed it
- Creating controls for higher tier engineers to review to ensure policy is being followed in near real time.
- There are a number of reports both built in and custom that can really help make sure company policy is being followed in rule creation.
