Key Advantages of DocAve SharePoint Administrator
Improved IT Productivity and Reduced Administration Costs
SharePoint Administrator allows instant discovery of new sites, control of access permissions at every level, and completely centralizes management and application control. It helps organizations reduce the costs associated with deployment and management of complex SharePoint infrastructure, regardless of number of servers or farms.
Simplified and Unified Management Across Entire Organization
Administrators can easily identify Microsoft SharePoint assets dispersed across the enterprise using a rule-based search, and propagate configuration and security permissions to web applications, sites, folders, and lists in bulk, resulting in quicker time-to-value of each update. Objects selected using tree or search modes can be saved for quick access in the future.
Reduced Security, Compliance, and Performance Risks
SharePoint Administrator simplifies user security management, usage and storage monitoring, and global policy control. It facilitates the deployment of policies that are otherwise difficult and time-consuming to implement. SharePoint Administrator delivers granular, precise control over security permissions - down to the item-level - across entire Microsoft SharePoint deployments.
