Configuration Comparison Tool

Use XIA Configuration to compare the current configuration of your items with previous configurations to see changes, or to compare different items to see differences.

Baselines allow you to compare configuration to a "golden build" so you can determine when a server, device or any other item does not adhere to your organization's configuration policy.

Use the item comparison feature to:

  • Green tick Detect new software installed on Windows machines
  • Green tick Detect services added or removed from a Windows server
  • Green tick Detect unauthorized changes to an Active Directory schema
  • Green tick Compare the settings of two IIS servers
  • Green tick Detect changes to the code of a SQL stored procedure

Use our Windows server comparison tool to compare two different servers.

The following video demonstrates the item comparison feature. Firstly, security settings are changed on a server that has previously been scanned. The server is then scanned again and the latest version is compared with the previous version.
