ConfigWise for VMware Environments

Bring the benefits of ConfigWise’s robust dashboard reporting capabilities to your VMware environments:

  • 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
  • Flexible configuration and change reporting, including historical reporting and 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
  • Provide configuration health monitoring and reporting for VMware ESX server and workstation configurations and change management

ConfigWise support for VMware environments is made available 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 VMware environment including configuration inventory analysis, configuration health monitoring, desired state reporting and change management reporting.  

Are you using Microsoft SCCM/DCM and need to expand configuration drift monitoring to your VMware environment? 

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 VMware ESX servers and workstations and allows you to view the results within ConfigWise dashboards to provide a single view of your configuration compliance across the enterprise.
