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 Commander-hosted SaaS service, external data repository, dedicated service account, or externally hosted runtime is required.

NEED HELP CHOOSING?

Commander Full provides the broadest value for organizations that expect to use Commander across multiple administrative disciplines.

Commander Custom is intended for organizations with narrower operational requirements.

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.
