01 — Why V8 Pro · 6 benefits

The professional NCM platform built for production

Everything V8 Core gives you, plus the alerts, compliance, governance and support you need to run rConfig as the primary NCM platform for an enterprise network.

  • Real time change alerts

    Instant notifications when a config drifts, changes, or fails a compliance rule. Route to Slack, Teams, email, or your SIEM.

  • Compliance and drift detection

    Write policies once, run them against every managed device. NIS2, DORA, PCI-DSS, CIS benchmarks, and custom rules.

  • Enterprise RBAC and audit

    Granular role based permissions, SAML SSO, and immutable audit logs for every action on every device.

  • Approval workflows

    Multi approver change control for config pushes. Review, approve, and ship without direct to production surprises.

  • API first integrations

    Zabbix, ServiceNow, Git, HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault, and Delinea all wired in through the REST API.

  • Priority support, Year 1 included

    Commercial support with SLAs. Professional services available for HA, custom integrations, and compliance rollouts.

03 — Deployment · 4 steps

In production in under an afternoon

Install V8 Pro, apply the licence, wire the integrations your team already runs, and turn on the compliance rules that match your audit scope. Most teams get first backup and first compliance report the same day.

04 — Use cases · 4 scenarios

Where V8 Pro fits best

From a single team owning compliance in a regulated industry to a 1,000 device estate at the biggest MSP on the island. One platform, predictable licensing.

  • Enterprise compliance and audit programs

    Teams operating under NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA or PCI-DSS. Automated evidence, drift detection, defensible audit trails.

  • Regional and national MSPs at scale

    Multi customer device estates from 500 to 1,000 devices. Per customer scoping, centralised reporting, shared automation.

  • Security mature enterprises

    Regulated industries (finance, healthcare, utilities). Air gapped deployment, immutable audit logs, encryption at rest.

  • Teams scaling beyond V8 Core

    Outgrown the free edition. Need change alerts, compliance, and commercial support without migrating platforms.

05 — In production · Enterprise case study

How enterprises run rConfig V8 Pro

From regulated financial networks to global MSP estates, V8 Pro replaces legacy commercial NCM tools without the per device cost curve.

Case study

NIS2 evidence for a pan European financial services network

A regulated financial services group moved its 850 device estate off a legacy commercial NCM onto V8 Pro to meet NIS2 enforcement deadlines. Nightly backups, daily drift detection, SAML SSO across three operations teams, and audit ready evidence the security team can export on demand.

  • 850 devices backed up every night, multi vendor
  • NIS2 evidence exports in minutes, not days
  • SAML SSO rolled out across three ops teams
  • Legacy commercial NCM retired inside one quarter

07 — Alternatives · 5 migration paths

A modern alternative to commercial and DIY NCM stacks

Built for teams ready to retire per device commercial licensing or brittle DIY scripts without jumping to a different vendor lock in.

01 · Migration · SolarWinds NCM

Built for teams leaving SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager

SolarWinds NCM has carried plenty of enterprise networks for a decade, but per device licensing, module fees, and the platform footprint all add up. rConfig V8 Pro replaces SolarWinds NCM for teams that want the core capabilities (automated backups, compliance policies, drift detection, approvals) without the per module bill. Self hosted, flat rate, up to 1,000 devices on a single licence. Most migrations complete inside one quarter, including SAML rollout and compliance rule porting.

02 · Migration · ManageEngine NCM

Consolidating off ManageEngine Network Configuration Manager

ManageEngine NCM is a common second choice behind SolarWinds, especially in mid market enterprises. Teams moving to rConfig V8 Pro keep the things they valued (multi vendor backup, diff view, role based access) and gain the things ManageEngine did not do well: NIS2 and DORA compliance evidence out of the box, SAML SSO that does not require a connector product, and a REST API that covers every platform action.

03 · Scale · Outgrowing Oxidized and RANCID

When Oxidized or RANCID stop scaling with the team

Plenty of teams run rConfig V8 Core, Oxidized or RANCID happily for years. The move to V8 Pro happens when the audit scope widens, the team size grows, or the engineer who built the glue leaves. V8 Pro is the same engineering idea, wrapped in change alerts, compliance reporting, SAML SSO, approval workflows and commercial support. The operational model stays familiar. The support posture moves from community to SLA.

04 · Migration · Python and Git DIY

Retiring the Python plus Git backup stack

Many teams start with a small Python script that pushes running configs into a Git repo, then extend it with SSH scheduling, credential handling, and bespoke reporting. By year three the script is a tool, and the tool needs an owner. V8 Pro replaces that system with a commercially supported platform that does the same jobs and more: version history, diff search, compliance policies, approval workflows, audit trails, and REST API access for the automations your team actually wants to build.

05 · Migration · Kiwi CatTools

A modern replacement for Kiwi CatTools

Kiwi CatTools carried a generation of mid market networks and is still in production in plenty of shops. Teams moving to V8 Pro do it for the modern UI, the multi vendor coverage, proper SAML SSO, the compliance engine, and the API surface that CatTools never had. The transition is incremental: run both side by side for a cycle, port device groups, and retire CatTools when the team is confident.
