Four Things I LOVE about Symphony Server Manager
FileMaker-powered software for tracking client server data
1. Symphony Server Manager tracks EVERYTHING!
I am blown away by how many different data points can be tracked in this software. Everything you may need to track the status of your servers is included in the software. Whether you’re tracking client servers or your own company’s servers, it is all in there. Symphony Server Manager tracks over a thousand data points related to server management.
Here are just a few of the items which can be tracked with this great sofware:
- FileMaker vs. Standard Web Server
- Hosting provider
- Physical location
- Hardware details (CPU, RAM, Harddrive, volumes)
- Usernames and Passwords
- Custom Host Name, Provider Host Name
- Public IP, Private IP Address
- User access
- Module tabs for:
- Files
- Clients
- Schedules
- License
- Folders
- OttoFMS
- Misc
- Edit Log of changes
- Notes fields
There are hundreds more, but this gives you some idea of the breadth of data stored in Symphony Server Software for FileMaker agencies.
The second Thing I 
is…
2. Symphony Server Manager provides great Search & Sort
One of FileMaker’s strengths is its ability to quickly find anything. This power is reflected in Symphony Server Manager for FileMaker agencies.
Get a bird’s eye view of everything stored in Symphony from the list view. Sort by Client or Server label; by Active/Inactive; by SSL expiration date. And use FileMaker’s powerful Find capabilities to search on any field.
The Third Thing I is…
3. Symphony Server Manager has great automation tools
When you want to get started with Symphony Server Manager, there is a handy Import button to quickly get your data into the system.
If you just want to add a single server, use the Creation Wizard to get the most important information into your database quickly and accurately just by answering a few questions. It guides you every step of the way.
The Fourth Thing I is…
4. Symphony Server Manager is native FileMaker software
It was made by FileMaker developers (Matt Larson and William Miller of HighPower Data Solutions) for FileMaker agencies. It tracks the information the way you would like to have it organized. But it doesn’t stop there. It also tracks SSL’s, and their expiration dates. It also tracks web server information, and more.
It’s a very robust tool that makes life easier for FileMaker agencies.
The cost is very reasonable. Download a FREE copy to use it with one server. Then if you like it, purchase it for agency use. You can track an unlimited number of servers and SSL’s. If you like to tinker and modify your software, then buy the completely unlocked version of Symphony Server Manager. As long as you don’t distribute it to others, you are free to enjoy it fully unlocked.
Those are four things I love about Symphony Server Manager.
