Unlike traditional management products or native Windows tools that require extensive customisation or the writing and debugging of custom scripts, Desktop Authority provides a level of flexible, precise control over your environment no other product can offer.
Targeted Desktop Management
Desktop Authority provides a powerful targeting of settings based on a wide range of user and computer properties, grouping configurations into easily manageable profiles using our patented Validation Logic.

Desktop Authority allows you to manage each clients hardware and software by reporting against information stored centrally in an SQL database.
Reporting
Desktop Authority allows you to report on inventory, patch status, user activity and more with turnkey and custom reports.

Lower help desk calls and eliminate trips to the desktop with web-based remote support functionality that operates independently from the fully credentialed Desktop Authority console.
Centralised Security
Desktop Authority helps prevent data theft, keeping desktops and servers patched, removing spyware and restricting access to applications from a secure, centralised console.
