HP Web Jetadmin 10 Offers Unrivaled Network Device Management Features
Web Jetadmin 10 is the latest iteration of HP’s industry-standard network device management platform. This enterprise-class solution helps an IT department remotely monitor and manage HP and third-party output devices on the network, report on device usage and activity, manage and order supplies, control end-users’ access to device functions such as color printing, and more. Tested in version 10.0.49299, Web Jetadmin 10 represents a very successful revamping of the product, featuring a redesigned interface with support for right-click and drag-and-drop actions, supplies management and budgeting, additional customizable reports and other features. “Web Jetadmin 10 is an ambitious overhaul to a time-honored management program, and HP’s extensive work in both adding functionality and streamlining operations shows,” said BLI’s Hoffman. “The utility is easy to set up and use, which means IT administrators and help-desk personnel are more likely to make it a part of their daily routines.” Web Jetadmin 10 earned a Five-Star rating overall as well as Five Stars in most individual categories BLI evaluated, including ease of use, device discovery, device monitoring, device management and user management. BLI found that the utility goes further than competing solutions in allowing administrators to control access to color printing and other MFP functions, and its ability to let administrators enforce policies—setting duplex and toner-saving modes as the defaults, setting when devices should go into power-saving sleep mode, and so on—across all devices can help a company save money and achieve its “green” initiatives. “We are honoured that Buyers Lab has selected HP Web Jetadmin 10 as a 'Pick’ award winneras it validates HP Web Jetadmin as being the preferred management utility that IT administrators around the world rely upon to remotely manage their printing and imaging fleet,” said Leong Han Kong, Vice-President, LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions, HP Imaging & Printing Group, Asia Pacific & Japan. “The award reflects HP's legacy of innovation to develop tools that help our customer improve the performance of their printing environment and decrease the time spent managing it. Customers can count on HP Web Jetadmin for simpler operation, efficient print management in a more secure print environment.”
