Enterprise collection: The Enterprise Edition includes Elodea Event Collector for collecting events in real time and saving them into a database.
Database and export utilities: The Enterprise Edition includes an event-log database exporter for SQL Server, while the Enterprise and Forensic editions include an event-log exporter for formats such as Excel, OpenOffice spreadsheets, and PDF.
Integrations: The feature matrix lists AI integration using large language models to analyze event details and find troubleshooting steps, plus importing computers from Active Directory, XML, or text files.
