FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Configuration Management
How can Kilter help me stay ahead of configuration drift?
Carefully examining configurations by hand can be daunting and time-consuming. Automatically check network devices against critical configuration parameters and vendor information for discrepancies, receive recommendations, and manually or automatically apply necessary corrections to streamline this process. Additionally, whenever issues arise, Kilter can automatically generate tickets in an IT service management platform, such as ServiceNow. This way, the relevant teams can quickly investigate and address any problems, ensuring your systems remain efficient and secure.
As our business scales, can Kilter help me securely manage the addition of devices?
With Kilter, you can seamlessly ensure new devices meet compliance standards during the onboarding process or post-discovery by automating the installation of a golden configuration. This ensures that all devices managed, regardless of vendor, adhere to your organization's security and performance guidelines.
How can Kilter support our need to automate OS updates for multiple device types from different vendors?
Unlike point solutions that only focus on a particular vendor or customizable solutions that require coding expertise to build automation, Kilter accesses real-time vendor recommendations and offers a no-code approach to create an automated upgrade chain leveraging AI as an informed assistant. With a few clicks, your teams can create production-ready automated workflows to check each device for the latest OS, apply the update if necessary, and run a post-check to validate and alert you if there is a problem.
