Some Key Benefits of Enterprise Auditor:

• Agent-free architecture - Nothing needs to be installed on the machines being audited!
• WMI Browser in the Windows Module – Select from hundreds of configuration settings available in WMI, including information from the Event Logs, system serial numbers, ODBC DSN settings, COM & DCOM settings, and much more. There’s no need to understand scripting to collect the WMI information with Enterprise Auditor.
• Hundreds of useful reports available out of the box – Hundreds of built-in database reports that quickly provide solutions to many of the IT challenges you face every day. The built-in reports automatically provide data for disaster recovery documentation, compliance requirements, change tracking, security assessments, and more.
• Enterprise Scalability – The cross-platform configuration repository efficiently handles critical configuration data from thousands of servers, workstations, and network devices running your IT infrastructure. The SQL Server database instantly generates reports on configuration data and delivers the answers you need - fast!
• Consolidated Change Reporting – Want to be able to identify and track all changes that took place across all critical platforms in a single report? Now you can. View the "before and after" information for every change – or observe and closely track every change that took place in any time period. Especially useful for identifying unauthorized changes that can compromise security, create performance issues, and cause downtime.
• Flexible and customizable reporting – A simple drag-and-drop interface for creating customized Fact Finding Reports (FFR). Choose only the data you need – for example, a single cross-platform report can contain data from Windows 2000 servers, Microsoft Exchange servers, and Sun Solaris or HP-UX systems, and other platforms. All reports can be run interactively or scheduled to run during off-hours or on a recurring basis.
• Cross-platform configuration data repository – Collect critical configuration data from Windows, Unix, Linux, NetWare, Cisco, MS-SQL Server, Exchange, IIS, Active Directory, Citrix, Oracle, and Lotus Domino platforms into a Microsoft SQL database (or MSDE), creating a cross-platform configuration repository. This data can be used for auditing, reporting, disaster recovery, change identification and tracking, and more.
• Alerting & Notification
• Auto-Archiving
