By integrating the most commonly used, everyday desktop management functions, the WinINSTALL Desktop Management Suite immediately increases the efficiencies of IT staff by eliminating the need to purchase, train, maintain, and support multiple tools. And, unlike other desktop management utilities that simply layer a UI on top of disparate tools, WinINSTALL Desktop Management Suite provides true integration, so that knowledge from one task can be used to make another task more efficient.

Inventory and Asset Management
 WinINSTALL’s inventory and license-tracking capabilities help you plan your IT spending and migration while keeping unauthorized applications (like spyware) off your desktops.

 

Automated Patch Management
 WinINSTALL provides an extended array of settings to improve the management of Windows desktops in three areas: security, application rights, and desktop configuration.

Centralized Reporting
 WinINSTALL provides reports on such
information as:

  • Conflict assessments - assessed packages, assessment results
  • Asset management - hardware inventory, application inventory, change report, file inventory
  • Package replication history
  • Software Distribution
  • Changes - both hardware changes and applications that have been added, removed, or had files updated
  • Failures 
  • Users and groups
  • Version updates 
 

Conflict Assessment
Package contents can be tested for conflicts against the applications and Operating Systems before package deployment. In many cases,
 WinINSTALL not only identifies conflicts but can actually remediate them automatically.

 

Optimized Distribution with Two-Phase Installation
Isolates package delivery from the installation process with multi-cast support, bandwidth sensitive software management, and checkpoint restart.
