Using the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows can be a challenge.

Add multiple domains, hundreds or thousands of servers, workstations, and users, and before you know it, things can get out of hand.

Hyena is designed to both simplify and centralize nearly all of the day-to-day management tasks, while providing new capabilities for system administration.

Hyena is a software that allows you manage networks.

This functionality is provided in a single, centralized, easy to use product. Used today by tens of thousands of system administrators worldwide, Hyena is the one tool that every administrator cannot afford to be without.
