You manage a global network extending from your base in Chicago to Tokyo, Calcutta and Dallas. Management wants a report detailing the current software level of each Enterprise class Security…

SmartView Tracker records connection and security event logs, not installed software versions on gateways, making it unsuitable for a software-level report.

SmartLSM is designed for managing large numbers of remote and branch-office gateways, not for reporting software levels on Enterprise-class Security Gateways.

SmartDashboard is used for security policy management and object configuration, not for reporting gateway software versions or planning upgrades.

SmartView Monitor provides real-time visibility into the installed software versions on each Security Gateway, fulfilling the reporting requirement. SmartUpdate manages and distributes software packages and licenses across all managed gateways, making it the appropriate tool for building a cost-effective upgrade proposal.
