ManageEngine DeviceExpert enables IT administrators to efficiently manage the configurations of network devices such as switches, routers, firewalls from multiple vendors through a single, central GUI. It helps in tracking configuration changes in real-time, preventing unauthorized changes, automating all configuration tasks and in ensuring that devices in the network stay properly configured.
The highlights of the new version, DeviceExpert 5.0 include:
Provision for examining device configurations for compliance to a defined set of internal/external policies and standards
Automated compliance status monitoring & reporting
Reports on network inventory, firmware inventory, network health status, configuration changes, user permissions, network compliance etc

"Version 5 of DeviceExpert addresses one of the most sought-after features by network administrators. It offers the ability to define standard policies for device configuration and enforce network devices to be compliant to these policies," said T. Subramanian, Product Manager of DeviceExpert. "With pre-built policies, real time monitoring of policy violations and automating the enforcement process, it assures high levels of network security and helps network administrators adhere to stringent government and industry regulations," he added.
IT enterprises world-wide have deployed DeviceExpert for managing the configurations of their devices and have reported productivity enhancement.
"DeviceExpert is a very powerful Configuration Management solution. Before using it, we used to manually download configurations and were struggling to keep track of changes. DeviceExpert changed all that by storing configurations in a central repository and making them accessible via a web GUI. We were able to respond faster to change requests from customers. DeviceExpert has saved us a great deal of time," said Kevin Spies, Manager of Network Operations, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC. "The configuration change control mechanism requiring approval for changes, has given me peace of mind," he added.
