Summary
The documentation exhibits a clear Windows bias, with Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WinRM, WMI) and patterns mentioned first and in detail, while Linux equivalents are referenced only briefly or as secondary. PowerShell remoting is a prerequisite for many features, and examples/scripts are exclusively for Windows environments. SQL Server discovery and web app discovery are not supported for Linux servers, and there are no Linux-specific configuration or troubleshooting examples. Windows terminology and tooling dominate throughout, with Linux support described only in passing.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples and instructions where possible, especially for appliance deployment, server discovery, and dependency analysis.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and configuration details (e.g., SSH setup, required packages, SELinux/AppArmor considerations).
  • Offer sample scripts or commands for Linux environments (e.g., Bash scripts for credential setup, dependency analysis configuration).
  • Clarify limitations for Linux support upfront and provide guidance or alternatives for unsupported features (e.g., SQL Server discovery on Linux).
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows requirements are described together, rather than Windows first.
  • Expand documentation for Linux web app discovery, including supported stacks and configuration requirements.
  • Where PowerShell is required, offer equivalent Bash/SSH instructions for Linux environments.
