For Traverse, 2022 was a strong year of innovation, with five new features, three updates to the UI/UX and four enhancements to integrations. Here, we’ll briefly cover Traverse’s new innovations and integrations. For a deeper dive into any of these enhancements, please check out the Traverse Release Notes.
Traverse release 9.6.6 introduced AES 256 and Cisco 256 support to expedite test discovery and improve security protocols. With the following release, we introduced support for both Discovery and Monitoring for SNMP v3 to support the most common use cases for authentication and privacy protocols.
A strong focus for Traverse in 2022 was integrating and modernizing the UI/UX to match the rest of the IT Complete platform. In Release 9.6.8, we updated the login experience to follow IT Complete and support single sign-on. Two releases later, we introduced the Cooper Intelligence Engine to surface AI-enabled suggestions to help our customers get the most out of Traverse.
