About XIA Configuration

XIA Configuration is designed for IT professionals to help them manage their IT infrastructure with automatic network documentation generation. A wide range of technologies are supported including Active Directory, Windows, Unix, VMware, Hyper-V, SQL, Backup Exec, Citrix and more.

The items on a network are automatically detected and scanned. The configuration data can then be viewed in a web interface where users can also run reports to get the information they need. Several built-in reports are included so users can audit their environments and check compliance against best practices and security standards.

Scans can be scheduled to run on a weekly or daily basis, allowing users to track changes over time and to compare items to expose any incorrect configuration. A fully-featured, unlimited free trial version is available so users can try the software in their environment.


Key benefits of XIA Configuration

  • Generate complete, continuous documentation for IT infrastructure.
  • Track changes to help enforce change management.
  • Run reports to check compliance.
  • Strengthen security and audit any changes.
  • Compare items to expose incorrect configuration.

    XIA makes documentation easy!

    Very good. The initial setup was a little problematic (and I wouldn't rule out our environment being a contributing factor here), but once running it seems stable and reliable.
    The support we have received from Centrel has been great; the team are very helpful and open to hearing suggestions on product improvement.

    Pros

    XIA automates the majority of documentation tasks and provides a clear, consistent means of creating and keeping details of all our systems.
    Having version control was a key element for us; this allows us to determine where and when changes to the environment occur.

    Cons

    Although quite deep and broad in terms of legacy product coverage, there's still some maturity required in the cloud platform documentation suite. As an Azure consumer we look forward to the development and delivery of more in-depth reports for the cloud environment.

    We have been using Xia since 2018 (test) and we are in general satisified with it. We expect the product to evolve to be one of the top notch product in the near future.

    Pros

    -Automated documentation for windows machines (servers and clients). We have seen this best works if you have local active directory.
    -The report generated is really awsome! You can do branded reports and many more!
    -Custom report via customized SQL statment which give a lot of flexibility is a nice feature.
    -Version control and comparison of documentation

    Cons

    -We really did not like the part of Generic Network Device category. Xia needs to improve to correctly identify all the network devices as per their manufacturer and models. We had to do a little bit of manual editing for the report in accordance with our need.

    Pros

    The software works great, does exactly what it should.We had some configuration issues at the beginning, support was extraordinary.Fast response times, single point of contact which is very knowledgeable.Really made my day. :)

    Cons

    It has to fit your Organisation, if you need documentation for things that are not supported (like Firewalls) there is a lot of work required to make that happen.
