About Exchange Reporter Plus
Exchange Reporter Plus is a reporting, change auditing, monitoring, and content search tool for hybrid Exchange environments and Skype for Business. It features over 450 comprehensive reports on various Exchange objects such as mailboxes, public folders, and distribution lists, and also on Outlook Web Access and ActiveSync. It accomplishes granular auditing, monitors Exchange services and endpoints, and helps perform instant mailbox content search.

Business challenge

Speedy has a sizeable employee base that uses Microsoft Exchange, with more joining all the time. The company's IT infrastructure team was spending too much time trying to generate reports on the different aspects of its Exchange environment. Internal audits and investigations were also becoming a hassle due to the amount of time and money consumed to establish an audit trail.

The infrastructure team was looking for a solution that would reduce the time they spent struggling with native tools to pull up even the smallest amount of Exchange-related information. They wanted a cost-effective tool that would be easy to use and deploy.

Final choice

Speedy Services eventually ended up purchasing Exchange Reporter Plus. When asked why, Wasim Natha, the IT end user computing manager at Speedy, said, "This is an absolute life-saving product...[especially] when you are using native Exchange to run reports and [for] analysis." Natha summarizes Exchange Reporter Plus in a single line—"a great tool with a whooping amount of reports."
