Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most of my customers have IT networks that contain both Linux- and Windows-based equipment. With just one tool, I can manage all network equipment from one interface.

Another great feature is that I can re-use all the custom scripts that I gathered over the years to automate operations. You can apply scripts on a single network node, clusters of nodes, or all nodes at the same time--a real time saver.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ideally suited for SysAdmins that run networks with mixed equipment types (Windows and Linux). It will help to streamline your tasks by having a complete network overview in one browser-based application. This means that you can stay in control via your phone or mobile device, even while not at the office.
