AppSense Insight 10.1 Install and Configure Guide
About Insight
This guide describes how to install and set up the AppSense Insight appliance and agent. It also
describes how to configure the Insight Console and provides an overview of the data that is collected.
AppSense Insight provides organizations with an understanding of the activities, trends, and needs of
end users and their environments. When installed on endpoints, the Insight agent gathers data relating
to the users, endpoints, platforms, and applications. The data is analyzed and displayed in the Insight
Console through a variety of reports. Data from these reports can then be exported or printed and used
to help organizations identify issues and improve efficiency.
Insight assists organizations by rationalizing:
l User profile types, sizes, and health, including the size of each constituent of the user profile.
l User logon to a granular level, including details of the individual components of the logon down to
individual Group Policy items, Active Setup items, network mappings, scripts, and post-logon actions.
l User privilege utilization, including which applications require administrative privileges, how often
they are used, by whom, and on which endpoints.
l User application interactions including, whether applications are locally installed, published remotely,
virtualized, and when they were last used.
l User desktop delivery mechanisms to understand the utilization of each (VDI, Terminal Services, local
desktop) across an enterprise.
l User data locations and sizes, including where users save common business data, the size of those
locations, and the types of data.
