Get Started With IT Visibility

IT Visibility is an analysis platform that offers comprehensive visibility into your IT environment to help you gain visibility and insight into the assets deployed in your environment. It provides you with out-of-the-box analytics that enable you to understand and explore your application portfolio. IT Visibility helps you:

• View your application portfolio at a high level—IT Visibility gives you a view of your total software installs, so you can better understand your IT environment at a high level.

• Identify and rationalize software sprawl—You can view your software installs based on category, manufacturer, and version, so you can understand and rationalize sprawl, helping you reduce licensing costs and streamline your environment.

• Mitigate end-of-life risk—You can easily view which software releases are approaching end-of-life and you can also view which products are already at end-of-life, so that you can choose to take actions to mitigate vulnerabilities and support costs.

• Unlock deeper analysis—You can export your data set for further, deeper analysis using your own business intelligence tools or to import into downstream platforms such as a CMDB or ITFM system.

• Simplify analysis—Your IT environment present a large complex set of data that IT Visibility helps simplify through easy to understand visualizations.

IT Visibility Screen Size Display Resolution Recommendation

For the best user experience when using IT Visibility, Flexera recommends viewing on a monitor with a minimum display resolution of 1280px width by 760px height. Additionally, changing your zoom to greater than 125% may cause unexpected results such as user interface elements disappearing.
