Complete IT documentation with passive components
A comprehensive overview at last: With Docusnap, you can manage your locations, racks, patch panels, etc. conveniently and easily using an editor.
Complete recording and visualisation of the physical infrastructure
In Docusnap, you can record the physical infrastructure in full and map it true to the original. Using the infrastructure editor, you can create locations, assets, IT hardware and their cabling and visualise them graphically in plans. You can also document the components of the passive cabling. A powerful wizard also makes it easy to import existing documentation.
Realistic representation of racks in the data centre
Efficient management of the physical infrastructure
Comprehensive documentation of all relevant components
Document locations and racks
In Docusnap, locations are recorded and structured as required in the form of cities, buildings and rooms. It is then possible to place IT hardware (e.g. racks, workstations) and assets (e.g. extinguishing systems, access systems) in these locations. The racks are also equipped with various hardware components. It does not matter whether these components were inventoried automatically or created manually. The arrangement is visualised graphically and can either be displayed in a plan or exported to Visio.
Hierarchical representation: city, building, room, etc.
Detailed room plans
Rack assembly with original components
Faithful reproduction of the physical infrastructure
With Docusnap, you can visualise your physical infrastructure true to the original: your own photos are just as possible as countless shapes for a wide variety of connector, cable and element types. Everything else is automatically supplemented by Docusnap's agent-free IT inventory.
Realistic mapping of the racks
Add your own photos and shapes
Simple assignment to automatically inventorised systems
Passive cabling
Docusnap offers you the option of manually recording passive cabling components (e.g. patch panels, network outlets) and integrating them into the IT documentation. To do this, IT systems are assigned to the various ports of the patch panels and network outlets. Additional information such as cable types and colours can also be defined. By documenting the passive cabling, it is possible to map the connection between two systems at port level.
Powerful import assistant
Docusnap offers a very high degree of automation to save you manual effort and therefore time in your day-to-day work. An intelligent import wizard maps existing structures in Docusnap. You can also easily import large amounts of data using CSV import.

FAQs
Docusnap must always be licensed for your entire network - consisting of all Windows, Linux, HP-UX and macOS systems as well as thin clients. Switches, routers, printers and mobile devices are excluded! You can find our licence calculator here.
You only need to license content that is managed in Docusnap365. All objects (e.g. notebooks, monitors, user accounts, etc.) that are inventoried or created within Docusnap365 are subject to licensing.
Ein Netzwerkplan ist ein detailliertes Diagramm, das die Struktur und das Design eines Computernetzwerks grafisch abbildet. Es umfasst die physische und logische Anordnung der Netzwerkkomponenten wie Router, Switches, Server, Computer und andere Geräte. Der Plan zeigt, wie diese Komponenten miteinander verbunden sind und wie Daten durch das Netzwerk fließen.
For short-term projects, we recommend the subscription model. In the long term, the purchase model is cheaper, but the initial costs are higher. Purchase licenses must also be activated in the accounting system and cannot be claimed as 100% expense immediately.
Objects are, for example, hardware elements such as monitors, printers, but also Windows systems, user accounts and IT services. For a detailed definition of objects that require a license, please see this page.
Ein Netzwerkplan sollte alle Systeme und Komponenten enthalten, die zusammenarbeiten, um ein funktionierendes Netzwerk bereitzustellen. Dazu gehören typischerweise Router, Switches, Server, Firewalls und Endgeräte, wie Computer, Laptops oder Smartphones.
With an active service contract, you receive all updates to current versions and features. For an inventory software, a service contract is essential, as otherwise no patches and updates required for the continued functionality of Docusnap can be obtained in the event of changes by manufacturers to their products.
You can see how many objects you have used in your demo environment. We estimate that about 15 objects are needed per workstation. The number of objects can be increased or reordered at any time without a price disadvantage.
Ein Netzwerkplan hilft bei der Planung, Implementierung, Verwaltung und Optimierung eines Netzwerks, indem er sicherstellt, dass alle Komponenten effizient zusammenarbeiten und die Anforderungen des Unternehmens erfüllen. Er kann auch Auskunft über Sicherheitsaspekte, IP-Adressierung, Netzwerkprotokolle und andere technische Details geben.
No, a service contract must always be purchased for at least 1 year when purchasing new. We recommend a 3-year contract, which is cheaper in terms of the total term.
Yes, because these objects still occupy storage space on our cloud system.
The rental version of Docusnap always includes the latest version of Docusnap including all patches.
Yes, there is a special partner program, please contact our sales department info@docusnap.com. At this page we have listed use cases for IT service providers and system houses. Even if you are not looking for a partnership, you can still sell Docusnap to your customers as a reseller. We would also ask you to contact our sales department info@docusnap.com in this case.
We prefer payment based on Euro, but also offer invoicing in US dollars. Please note that the currency cannot be changed after a contract has been concluded.
Of course, there are also licenses with a license size of well over 5,000. In this case, we would ask you to contact our sales department.
The license size can be increased at any time without a price disadvantage. You only pay the price difference between the old and new license. Reducing a license size works after the end of the period without restrictions in the subscription contract model. A purchase license can also be reduced at the end of the service contract term. The reduction only affects future service contract extensions.
