WHY COMMANDER
A Different Approach to Enterprise SharePoint Management
Many SharePoint tools are designed around SaaS platforms, individual migration projects, or modern Microsoft 365 environments. Commander is designed for organizations that need operational visibility and administrative capability across SharePoint 2013 through SharePoint Online while maintaining control of their deployment boundary.
Commander runs within the customer's SharePoint environment. No SummitPoint-hosted SaaS processing backend or Commander data repository.

Enterprise-Wide. Not Per User.
Commander licensing is designed around the platform rather than the number of individual SharePoint users. Organizations can expand the reach of Commander without creating a growing per-user licensing burden.
