Its auto-discovery feature simplifies initial setup and ongoing network changes by automatically detecting new devices and updating maps accordingly. Intermapper also offers historical data analysis, trend reports, and capacity planning tools to support proactive management.

Security features include role-based access controls, audit logs, and encryption of data in transit and at rest. The platform supports multi-vendor environments, with integrations for Cisco, Juniper, HP, and other major hardware providers. Additionally, it provides REST API support for automation and custom integrations.
