This powerful license covers up to 200 devices, delivering a streamlined, PC-based solution that integrates tightly with Progress WhatsUp Gold to simplify configuration management, change tracking, and compliance. Designed for IT teams seeking reliability, scalability, and peace of mind, this plug-in helps you guard against configuration drift, automate routine tasks, and accelerate root-cause analysis when issues arise.

• The Progress WhatsUp Gold Configuration Management plug-in gives you a centralized, auditable repository for all device configurations. With built-in versioning, baselining, and automated backups, you can quickly compare current configurations against known-good baselines, identify drift, and restore critical settings with confidence. This reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and protects complex networks from misconfigurations during routine maintenance or fast-moving incidents.
• Advanced change detection and policy enforcement keep your network compliant with internal standards and external regulations. The plug-in continuously monitors configurations for deviations, flags unauthorized changes, and provides clear, actionable alerts. Teams can enforce change windows, approvals, and rollback procedures, ensuring that every modification aligns with governance policies and security best practices.
• License for up to 200 devices offers scalable coverage for growing networks. Whether you’re protecting a mid-size campus or a distributed enterprise, this 200-device capacity supports multiple sites, diverse device families, and a mix of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network appliances. The licensure is designed to be flexible, so you can extend or reallocate coverage as your topology evolves.
• PC-based deployment means quick, straightforward installation on a Windows-based workstation or server. The plug-in is engineered for fast onboarding, with minimal disruption to existing monitoring workflows. Its lightweight footprint and intuitive interface let administrators begin configuring, backing up, and auditing devices in hours rather than days, maximizing your initial return on investment.
• Seamless integration with Progress WhatsUp Gold provides real-time visibility into configuration health alongside the platform’s performance monitoring and alerting. You gain unified dashboards, centralized reporting, and comprehensive audit trails that make it easier to demonstrate compliance to stakeholders, support audits, and accelerate incident response with precise configuration context.
