SPDockit review
A focused toolkit for documenting, comparing, auditing, and governing SharePoint farms.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SPDockit is a Windows and self-hosted administration tool for IT administrators, SharePoint consultants, and organizations managing SharePoint on-premises farms. It covers farm documentation, configuration comparison, change tracking, audit-log reporting, permissions, governance queries, retention, and usage analysis. The product supports small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations, with Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft SQL Server integrations. It can run on supported Windows Server environments and can also be installed on Windows workstations for viewing existing data and managing permissions.
Its strongest fit is operational visibility across SharePoint farms. Farm and Site Explorer, Farm Documentation, Best Practices Reports, and Compare Wizard support documentation and configuration review, while audit-log filtering and custom retention support more targeted reporting. The product also covers farm configuration auditing and administrative actions auditing. Permission exploration, reporting, management, and restoration extend its scope beyond audit logs into day-to-day SharePoint governance. These capabilities make it more specialized for SharePoint administration than for broad, end-to-end audit programs.
The published plans are the SPDockit Farm Subscription and SPDockit Consultant Subscription. The Farm plan is for in-house administration of SharePoint on-premises and includes Farm and Site Explorer, Best Practices Reports, SharePoint Audit Log Reports, Analytics and Usage Reports, and Compare Wizard. The Consultant plan is licensed per consultant, provides unlimited SharePoint farms coverage, and includes Farm and Site Explorer, Best Practices Reports, and Farm Documentation. A 30-day free trial is available, and support is provided through tickets and phone. Choose SPDockit when SharePoint on-premises documentation and audit reporting are central requirements; choose another category tool when the priority is broader audit management beyond SharePoint administration.
