Infrastructure
Inventory and documentation of entire IT networks
Every IT documentation is based on the inventory of network services such as DNS, DHCP, DFS, and ADS (Active Directory Services). Using SNMP, it is possible to scan further network devices, for instance switches, routers, or printers, and even firewalls. By performing inventory scans of virtualization solutions based on Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX, or vSphere and Citrix XenCenter, you can include these business-critical applications into your documentation. The collection of data on the network infrastructure is rounded off by inventorying and documenting Veritas Backup Exec installations and Veeam.

IT Analysis
Efficient analysis of permissions and licenses
Docusnap allows you to map your entire software license management. You can not only retrieve data on the installed software products, but also store and map purchased software licenses and maintenance agreement information. Docusnap analyzes this information and thus provides a comprehensive survey of the current licensing situation.
Docusnap allows you to inventory and document permissions in Windows file systems, Microsoft Exchange, and SharePoint. Using the Docusnap Permission Analysis module, these permissions can be analyzed and evaluated. For this purpose, the software features tabular and graphical evaluations as well as a variety of reports.
