Itential's Compliance Reporting & Remediation solution automates the process of checking network devices for compliance, generating reports, and remediating any non-compliant devices. It supports both CLI and API-based devices, enabling network teams to maintain a secure, reliable, and fully compliant infrastructure at scale. Source
Itential automates compliance by allowing teams to define Golden Configuration standards, schedule compliance checks, generate reports, and remediate devices automatically. This eliminates manual intervention, reduces risk, and ensures every device operates according to the latest standards. Source
Itential supports both CLI-based and API-based network devices, including physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructure. This broad compatibility enables automation across legacy and modern environments. Source
Legacy tools are often limited to static templates, CLI-centric, and require manual remediation. Itential offers dynamic, flexible templates, supports both CLI and API devices, and automates compliance checks and remediation, reducing manual effort and risk. Source
A Golden Configuration standard is a template that defines the optimal, compliant settings for network devices. Itential enables teams to create, manage, and enforce these standards across all devices, ensuring consistency and compliance. Source
Itential provides historic views of compliance trends, enabling teams to identify devices that drift out of compliance and spot anomalies before they become security breaches or outages. Source
Automating compliance reporting and remediation ensures continuous compliance, reduces manual audit time, minimizes human error, and enables immediate remediation of violations. Source
After remediation, you can run another compliance report in Itential. If the remediation was successful, the compliance bar will turn completely green, indicating full compliance. Source
The compliance report provides a summary of your infrastructure's status, detailing which devices were checked and giving counts of passes, warnings, and severe errors. This helps management quickly understand the overall compliance posture. Source
Yes, Itential focuses on ease of use and time savings by enabling dynamic, flexible, and reusable compliance templates using variables and scheduling checks for different devices at different times. Source
Compliance Plans can be generated on-demand or scheduled for automatic delivery to application teams, streamlining how network teams deliver compliance insights. Source
The 23.2 release added robust Compliance Plans and in-depth reporting features, allowing custom compliance reports and scheduled delivery to application teams for enhanced visibility. Source
Compliance data helps identify patterns and trends, enabling organizations to adjust configurations for new threats and proactively improve network security and reliability. Source
The key components include configuration backup and restore, change management, compliance and auditing, and automation of repetitive tasks to reduce errors and improve efficiency. Source
Network configuration management is moving from reactive, manual changes to proactive validation using automated, API-driven tools. This shift ensures consistency and prevents misconfigurations before outages occur. Source
Key processes include creating and maintaining device inventory, scheduled backups, regular software upgrades, and provisioning cloud services to ensure correct operation and quick recovery. Source
Customers can expect a 10x increase in operational agility, 85% reduction in change-related incidents, 70% reduction in infrastructure operations costs, and faster service delivery—from 45 days to same-day. Source

Manual processes alone are not a real solution to ensuring that every device and service across the entire network is configured properly according to a Golden Configuration standard. Even with legacy NCCM or open-source tools, network teams still struggle with defining standards, running compliance checks, and generating reports for the entire network. When any device is found to be out of compliance, the process of remediation is still typically accomplished manually because these legacy tools don’t support configuration updates or did it so poorly that it couldn’t be trusted. The result is that large areas of the network have become risks to the business because there is no active compliance checking and reporting occurring. This problem compounds as more modern network infrastructure is deployed that no longer uses a CLI method of configuration, but instead uses APIs. Legacy solutions are CLI-centric and do not work with modern API-centric network solutions.
Itential provides an easy way for network teams to modernize their compliance checking, reporting, and remediation processes as Itential’s Configuration Manager was purpose-built to support both CLI and API network devices at scale and overcome the challenge of ensuring the network is always operating according to the latest compliance standards.
Limited network support. Limited vendor support and lack of integration with API-based networks, which limits the ability to automate compliance and remediation across the entire network.
Support for the whole network. Built-in CLI support for multiple network vendors, a process to define syntax for new network devices, and integration of APIs for modern and cloud networking. Automated compliance reporting and remediation for every network device and service.
Static process. Compliance templates are limited to static entries, with a limited set of rules. Checking devices and remediation is not flexible and puts more burden on human intervention.
Dynamic, flexible, and reusable. Focused on ease of use and saving time with defining Golden Configurations using variables and templates, to scheduling checks of different devices at different times, and intelligent automated remediations.
Perpetual network risk. Lack of automation means there will always be areas of the network that are not compliant, and that means they are a risk to network security or network stability.
Network trust and confidence. Automating compliance reporting and remediation means that every network device and service can be checked for compliance and intelligently remediated if needed.
No visibility to network trends. Without a historic view of compliance trends, network teams lack visibility which can help identify and troubleshoot problems or security issues in the network.
Awareness of network hotspots. Identify network devices that drift out of compliance over time and identify anomalies before they become security breaches or a network outage.
Itential’s configuration management capabilities are built to support both CLI and API network devices and services, regardless of whether they are physical, virtual, or cloud-based, and deliver the ability to quickly create Golden Configuration standards for every one of these network elements so that network teams can generate compliance reports and automatically remediate devices. Itential is built to empower network teams to automate these manual processes, so they can maintain a fully compliant network and ensure that the network is running securely and reliably.
