Introduction

System Comparison (sysCOMP) will compare two systems "side by side"  on one web page.  Each comparison is saved in HTML format for future reference.  Use System Comparison to troubleshoot applications that work in development, but won't run on production systems.  Ensure systems are being built and deployed identically.

Since System Comparison uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), you don't have to worry about deploying agents or paying expensive per-node licensing.
