Met Kiwi Cattools kan eenvoudig een backup gemaakt worden van de configuratie van verschillende firewalls, routers en switches die in het netwerk aanwezig zijn. Het programma ondersteunt apparaten van onder andere Cisco, HP, Huawei, Nortel en Juniper. Daarnaast kan Kiwi Cattools verschillende testen uitvoeren waarmee de beschikbaarheid van de verschillende apparaten gemeten kan worden. Ook kan het eenvoudige wijzigingen doorvoeren op alle aangesloten apparaten, hetgeen ideaal is om bijvoorbeeld het beheerderswachtwoord van deze apparaten in één keer te veranderen. De ontwikkelaars van Kiwi Enterprises hebben enige tijd geleden Kiwi Cattools 3.3.14 uitgebracht en voorzien van de volgende lijst met veranderingen:
Version 3.3.14:
