Identify Software Version Sprawl
Managing application lifecycles becomes increasingly difficult when multiple versions of the same software coexist across the fleet. Version sprawl increases support effort, introduces security risk, and complicates compliance — often without IT realizing how severe the problem has become. With Applixure, IT teams can identify software version sprawl in seconds and regain control over application standardization.

Identify Devices Experiencing Performance Degradation
Over time, computers that are not properly maintained begin to slow down, freeze, or become unstable. This gradual decline in responsiveness — known as performance degradation — often goes unnoticed until users are already frustrated and productivity is impacted. With Applixure, IT teams can identify devices experiencing performance degradation in seconds and address issues before they escalate.

Identify Computers With Battery Wear
Most IT teams only become aware of battery problems once users start complaining. By then, productivity is already affected, especially for mobile and hybrid workers who depend on reliable battery life. Battery wear develops gradually, often unnoticed, until it directly impacts daily work. With Applixure, IT teams can identify computers with battery wear in seconds and move from reactive support to proactive intervention.

Identify Devices Missing Critical OS Security Updates
Security patching often looks complete on paper, but reality is different. Updates may be pushed by management tools, yet never fully installed — commonly because devices haven’t been restarted. This creates a silent security gap that IT teams may not discover until it’s too late. With Applixure, IT can identify devices that are not fully up to date with OS security updates in seconds, based on real device state rather than deployment assumptions.

Identify Devices Without Disk Encryption
Disk encryption is a foundational security control. Technologies such as BitLocker protect sensitive data if a device is lost or stolen, yet in many environments encryption status quietly drifts out of sync. Devices that should be encrypted aren’t, and IT often doesn’t know until an audit or incident exposes the gap. With Applixure, IT teams can identify which devices have disk encryption enabled, and which do not, in seconds, based on actual device state.

Identify Devices With Full or Nearly Full Disks
Disk capacity issues are easy to overlook until they start causing real problems. As system disks fill up, performance degrades, software updates fail, applications behave unpredictably, and in the worst cases devices stop functioning altogether. Without visibility, IT often only learns about the issue after users are already impacted. With Applixure, IT teams can identify computers with full or nearly full system disks in seconds and address the issue before it disrupts work.

Identify Devices With Repeated High Memory Usage
Repeated high memory usage is one of the most common causes of slow, frustrating computers. Users experience lag, applications freezing, and reduced productivity long before an issue is formally reported. Without clear visibility, IT teams are often left reacting to complaints instead of addressing the root cause early. With Applixure, IT can identify devices experiencing repeated high memory usage in seconds and take action before performance issues escalate.

Identify Devices With Unnecessary Administrator Rights
Granting end users administrator privileges as part of daily use is a common but risky practice. While it may seem convenient, unnecessary admin rights significantly increase the attack surface and make devices harder to secure and manage. With Applixure, IT teams can identify devices with unnecessary administrator rights in seconds and quickly assess where access should be restricted.

Identify Devices With Outdated Secure Boot Certificates
Secure Boot compliance can look correct on paper, while devices still run with legacy 2011 Secure Boot certificates in firmware. With Applixure Analytics, IT teams can detect whether Secure Boot 2023 CAs are in use and instantly identify devices where certificates are not updated — before future Windows boot or Secure Boot updates start failing.

Identify Unapproved AI Software, AI Web Applications & AI Browser Extensions
AI tools are spreading across your environment, often without visibility or approval. Shadow AI software, browser extensions, and web applications can introduce data leakage, compliance exposure, and unnecessary software spend. With Applixure Analytics, IT teams can detect what AI tools are installed, accessed, or actively used across the fleet based on real device state.
