ConfigWise

ConfigWise Enterprise Edition for System Center Configuration Manager and SCCM/DCM Environments

Bring the benefits of ConfigWise’s robust dashboard reporting capabilities and extended platform support to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Desired Configuration Management (DCM):

  • View top “non-compliant” policies and systems at a glance and drill down directly to the configuration items, including the expected and actual values causing non-compliance
  • Summarize by collection, by computer, by policy or configuration item, with advanced filtering to scope compliance results to your needs
  • Enhance SCCM reporting with customizable reporting dashboards and change reporting, including historical reporting and policy compliance trends over time
  • Robust policy authoring and lifecycle management with automated policy generation from a configured “golden-master system
  • Leverage industry expertise and best practices with out-of-the-box templates, including Microsoft Security Compliance Manager baselines and SCAP baselines
  • Central configuration collection and repository with integrated collection from SCCM and DCM
  • Provide configuration health monitoring and reporting for SCCM server configurations and change management

ConfigWise includes policies and reporting dashboards for integration with SCCM and DCM environments as part of the standard product (no additional Smart Pack download is required).  

During pre-implementation planning and change management processes, ConfigWise will provide insight into your System Center environment including configuration inventory analysis, configuration health monitoring, desired state reporting and change management reporting.  Prior to deploying DCM, ConfigWise can be used to inventory configurations and aggregate results, analyze change history and then export ConfigWise policies to SCCM as DCM baselines.

Want to extend SCCM/DCM capabilities to non-Windows environments, including Linux, VMWare ESX and snmp network devices?  ConfigWise integrates seamlessly with SCCM/DCM to collect information about computers managed by SCCM as well as DCM results stored within the SCCM database.  Then ConfigWise provides direct support for configuration integrity monitoring to non-Windows platforms and allows you to view the results within ConfigWise dashboards to provide a single view of your configuration compliance across the enterprise. 

Need to deliver configuration integrity monitoring to System Center environments without the support of SCCM/DCM?  ConfigWise is your solution.  Since ConfigWise works both with and without SCCM/DCM, ConfigWise can bring the capabilities of SCCM/DCM to environments where DCM is not supported such as System Center Intune, System Center Advisor and System Center Essentials.
