Benefit
Feature
Description
Wake-on-WAN (WOW)
Allow an elected peer on the subnet to wake the machine by sending
magic packets on the local subnet – WOW can function even when the
network is configured to not forward broadcast packets; machines can
be powered up across the enterprise WAN infrastructure without
network reconfiguration
User-based views
Utilize an end-user-focused systems management platform to provide a
view of devices by user rather than by device
Off-core inventory
services
Distribute inventory processing across multiple servers to increase
efficiency
Software license
monitoring
Dynamic products
Utilize version wildcarding to merge multiple product versions into a
single, dynamic product in order to simplify asset management.
Return on investment
(ROI) reports
Manage licenses more wisely and reduce license costs; utilize additional
reports to help reduce audit discomfort
Software usage
monitoring
List who is using what and how often so you can prioritize license
allocation
Comprehensive license
monitoring
Monitor software license use with application usage, license reporting,
and compliance reporting
Software
distribution
Package-agnostic
distribution
Deploy any package type and provide access to multi-file MSI support

them to new machines
Hardware-independent
imaging
Manage a driver library and only insert the relevant drivers at run time
Profile migration in
provisioning
Captures user settings and data applications with provisioning that
features improved building blocks to create simple templates for
machine and user migration
Remote control,
inventory, and
power
management
HTML 5 remote control
Deliver secure, high-performance remote desktop access over a secure
web connection from any device with a HTML 5-compliant browser;
share the remote control session with a peer to collaborate on problem
solving
Comprehensive
inventory
View all hardware and software data items associated with a specific
device
Scalable discovery
Facilitate real-time, subnet-level tracking of unmanaged networked
devices, even if those devices have a firewall enabled – on-demand as
well as listening methods available for discovery
Power management
Utilize historical tracking and reporting to monitor actual system usage
and corresponding savings at the client level; process-sensitive policy
triggers identify processes or applications that should not be
interrupted by power policies
