🛡️ Top New Features

Enhanced Migration Features

Faddom now has a completely redesigned migration planning feature. This includes, a redesigned workflow for creating migration waves, the ability to plan migrations to the cloud or to a different on-premises data source, and quick cost comparisons to find the most economical cloud provider.

New Rightsizing for Hypervisors and Cloud

The rightsizing feature now provides enhanced recommendations with an improved design.

  • “What I have now” vs. “What I need it to be” insights for better resource planning.

  • Supports rightsizing for cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and GCP.

  • Displays potential cost savings for cloud deployments.

Software Discovery: Installed Software Change Detection

The software discovery feature now includes installed software change detection with new policy management capabilities.

  • Set up alerts for version updates, new installations, and unauthorized software changes.

  • Track changes over time with user and timestamp details.

  • Set up a software policy to define which software is allowed in your organization. Receive alerts any time some un-authorized software is installed.

  • Receive notifications on the platform or via email/syslog/webhook for real-time insights.

Software Discovery: Visibility of Servers with No Detected Software

We’ve added the ability to see which servers have no detected software data, making it easier to identify and resolve discovery gaps.

Syslog Notifications

You can now send notifications through syslog, in addition to email and SNMP, for more flexible integration with your monitoring system or SIEM.

In-Platform Onboarding

We’ve added interactive hotspots on each screen to guide users through key features.

This onboarding can be easily enabled or disabled based on user preference.

User Access Control: Redesigned UI

An improved user interface makes setting up users and defining role-based permissions more intuitive and efficient.

Server Information: Granular Server Change Tracking

  • Now tracks detailed changes to server properties such as CPU core count, memory, and storage.

  • *Easily view the history of modifications for each server to maintain a comprehensive audit trail.

Operating System Obsolescence Detection: EoS and EoL Monitoring

Automatically detect End of Support (EoS) and End of Life (EoL) statuses for operating systems, providing clear visibility into obsolete OS versions for proactive management.

Maps: Custom Connection Labels

Users can now set custom text labels on connections to specify their purpose.

Labels appear in a single line next to the port for clearer map visualization.

Investigate Page: Enhanced User and Software Tracking

The Investigate module now includes new and changed software details, along with detected users at the selected times for comparison.


🆕 Additional New Features

External Traffic: Server Hostname Tagging

The external traffic view now displays server hostnames as tags when applying filters, making it easier to identify and track traffic sources.

Filters: Subnet Exclusion

Previously, to exclude traffic from a subnet, users had to add each server individually to the Global Filters, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Now, you can filter out entire subnets at once, eliminating unwanted traffic and reducing noise in your data views.

Application Maps: Save Layout with Expanded IP Groups

You can now save map layouts with expanded IP groups, ensuring your preferred view is preserved for future sessions.

Dashboard: sFlow Count Integration

The dashboard VM counter now includes sFlow counts, providing a more comprehensive view.

The total number of servers is also displayed next to the sFlow title under Inventory for quick reference.

Application Maps: Show User Connections

When User Discovery is enabled, you can now view users connected to applications on the map.

An additional "User" column in the client’s popup displays which users are associated with specific connection

Email Notifications: Hostname in Email Body

Email notifications now include the hostname in the email body for better clarity and quicker identification of affected servers.

SSL Insights: Improved CN Display

Now shows the Common Name (CN) for each certificate in the expanded view.

If multiple certificates are present, “Multiple Certificates” will still be shown in the collapsed view, with each CN displayed individually when expanded.

Application Maps: Filter by Connection Status

Added a new filter to display only active, failed, or other connection types on application maps.

This functionality mirrors the existing filter in Search results, with support for all map colors.

Optimization: Configurable Data Range

You can now adjust the data range used for performance and migration analysis, with options to increase or decrease the number of days (e.g., up to 90 days for Hyper-V). This setting is now available in the Global Parameters screen for easier configuration.

Maps: Hide Inactive IP Group Connections

Connections from IP Groups with no relevant traffic are now automatically hidden on the map, providing a cleaner and more focused view of active connections.

Filters: ASN Group Filtering

Added the ability to filter ASN groups when capturing external traffic.

Now you can include or exclude specific ASNs in Maps, making it easier to refine your traffic views based on Autonomous System Names.

Nutanix: Platform Details Enhancement

The “Description” field for each VM is now imported via the PC API and displayed in the “Platform Details” section, providing more comprehensive VM information.

Search: Enhanced Server and Connection Lists

The Search module now supports server and connection lists with customizable columns, similar to the functionality available in Maps, for a more tailored and detailed view.

Subnet Dependency: Save Layout Option

You can now save your subnet dependency layout, making it easier to maintain a consistent view for future sessions.

Load Balancers: Support for VMware Avi Load Balancer

Faddom now supports API integration with VMware Avi to allow retreiving the configured services and virtual servers.
