macOS Inventory

The comprehensive functions of macOS inventory help IT administrators to efficiently manage and optimize their IT infrastructure.

The benefits of automated data collection

macOS inventory with Docusnap offers IT administrators and IT managers numerous practical benefits for everyday life. The agentless recording of Apple macOS systems enables a comprehensive and always up-to-date inventory without the need for additional software installations on the target systems. This significantly reduces manual effort and leads to economic benefits.

The data obtained through macOS inventory forms the perfect basis for a variety of tasks. They support IT documentation and management by providing detailed information about hardware, installed software, configurations and settings of macOS systems. This data is structured in an ITIL-compliant Configuration Management Database (CMDB), which makes it easier to overview and manage the IT infrastructure.

Another advantage is regular and automated data collection, which ensures that all information is always up to date. Docusnap generates informative reports and data sheets, which are available in various formats such as PDF, HTML or Microsoft Word. These documents can be automatically created, exported and delivered via email, which saves considerable time when documenting.

In addition, Docusnap provides a comprehensive graphical presentation of the collected data, which makes it easier to visualize and analyze the IT infrastructure. Inventory saves resources and has no negative effects on network performance, which further increases efficiency.

By using standard interfaces and protocols such as Secure Shell (SSH), Docusnap ensures secure and reliable communication when collecting data. With these comprehensive features and benefits, Docusnap's macOS inventory helps IT administrators and IT managers efficiently manage and optimize their IT infrastructure.
