Features

Simplify Solutions Management – Keep track of and detect which SharePoint solution packages need to be updated to ensure consistency and reliability across your farm, and inspect all solutions before deployment to ensure they are suitable for production and comply with your organization’s customization policies. You can then deploy, upgrade and retract solutions remotely from a single application to avoid the burden of native tools.
Real-time Comparisons – Rapidly discover the differences between any two environments with the graphical Live Compare tool. With the visual cues it offers, you’ll know if a component from one environment needs to be deployed in another one.
Easily Manage Deployment Schedules – This time-saving job management tool enables you to define, group, schedule and execute object copy and replication activities.
Increase Deployment Flexibility – Simply click and drag any or all components and related content from one site to another. Changes can also be easily deployed to many sites across multiple SharePoint farms.
Automatically Track All Changes – If something does go wrong in your production environment, you can use this handy tool to scan the deployment activity reports to see what errant component was moved and when. And with detailed error messages and alerts, you’ll have the confidence to quickly fix any deployment problems or rest assured that the deployment occurred correctly and swiftly.
