BENEFITS

Automatic Network Diagrams
With ClickNet, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. ClickNet automatically builds an accurate diagram of your network, providing simple point and click access to your network data. The information in the ClickNet diagrams can help answer questions about your network and assist with planning by allowing you to conduct “what if” analyses to determine the impact of proposed network changes. You can easily publish your diagram on your web server using ClickNet’s automatic HTML conversion feature.

Complete Automatic Inventory of PC Desktops
ClickNet’s automatic inventory capability eliminates the time-consuming task of manually tracking your PC hardware and software assets. Now you can quickly obtain an accurate listing of all networked PCs and installed software with just the click of a mouse. Maintained in the ClickNet database, this up-to-date inventory simplifies problem diagnosis, helping you better manage, maintain and grow your network. Plus, ClickNet can be an invaluable resource for rebuilding your network, should you ever experience a major network failure.

Universal PC Remote Control
Thanks to ClickNet’s remote control capabilities, you can now resolve many end-user problems on your network – without leaving your desk. Remotely diagnose a PC, and then quickly apply a solution right from your own desktop. ClickNet takes problem resolution to an entirely new level by enabling remote, real-time interaction with all of your networked PCs. You can even use the software to conduct remote training sessions to multiple end-users at the same time. Now everyone can participate and clearly see your demonstration right on their own desktops.

Ready-to-Run Report Suite
ClickNet can help you analyze your critical network information with more than 100 pre-defined reports so you can make the best decisions possible. The application’s ready-to-run Report Suite assembles easy-to-read management reports on software license compliance, financial analysis, asset deployment and more. You can also design your own custom reports using third-party report writers or SQL tools.
