PowerGUI Pro

Harness the Power of PowerShell

PowerGUI® Pro is graphical PowerShell administration console with an integrated editor and debugger. PowerGUI Pro has all the same great features from our freeware PowerGUI, plus it enables use of PowerShell from mobile devices and protects your scripts with integrated version control.

PowerGUI Pro simplifies automation in any size environment by making it much easier to execute PowerShell commands remotely. In addition, administrators are able to create and distribute a customizable management console by using PowerShell to create customized PowerPacks, or by leveraging the existing PowerPack library. For smaller tasks, administrators can build small, executable utilities from their scripts quickly and easily so that they can be shared by the rest of the organization.

PowerGUI Pro also improves efficiency and controls costs by providing you with the administrative and management tools you need to speed the adoption of PowerShell within your environment. PowerGUI Pro enables you to harness the power of PowerShell and save money by not having to build custom scripts and applications. With PowerGUI Pro, administrators can script by simply clicking a mouse, and managers can be confident they have the controls in place to ensure PowerShell is being used appropriately within their organization.

  • MobileShell: Provides administrators the flexibility to execute scripts remotely from any mobile device, server or client using only a web browser, also providing advanced features like Intellisense and Script History
  • Version Control: Ensure scripting best practices by using version control integration
  • Point, Click, Script™: Makes learning to script in PowerShell quick and easy for your administrators by connecting systems management tasks to the scripts that are required to perform those tasks
  • PerfectScript™: Utilizes the Integrate Development Environment to create, analyze and troubleshoot advanced scripts using Intellisense, debug mode, easy remote script execution and other tools
  • PowerPacks: Performs specific tasks and manage many common platforms or technologies immediately using pre-packaged groups of PowerShell scripts
  • Add-ons: Extends the Integrated Development Environment using pre-packaged modules to add enterprise-level features like script signing, transcription and more
  • CustomAdmin: Customizes the PowerGUI Pro Integrated Development Environment using add-ons that leverage a rich, extensible SDK, or customize the management console by adding a logo, URLs or contact information to put important resources at administrators’ fingertips. Centrally controls what PowerShell users can see and do in your environment by preloading custom scripts and eliminating unauthorized actions
