Every Exchange administrator seems to be after one thing — Exchange Report. In fact, you could have landed on this page while you were on Google searching for "exchange server reports" or "Microsoft Exchange server tools". Well, your search for an Exchange server monitoring tool, which will offer all the Exchange server reports you will ever need or seek, ends here.
Exchange Reporter Plus — a Microsoft Exchange reporting and analysis tool — offers more than 80 Exchange reports. Ready-to-deploy software, this web-based Exchange monitoring service requires very minimal configuration during installation, and starts collecting data and reporting on Exchange servers as soon as it is installed.
Neatly classified into 7 categories, these 100+ Exchange reports comprise all the information that an Exchange server administrator will need to make several critical decisions in his line of duty.
Exchange Reporter Plus does not fall into the usual Exchange reporting groove (like some Exchange server monitoring tools or software do), where good to know information is offered but not knowledge; nor is it some plain email or Exchange server traffic monitoring tool. Rather, it provides analytics and clear-cut statistics in a self-explanatory manner, which makes decision making a simple activity. That makes the difference.
To the regular email traffic reports and server traffic analysis reports, Exchange Reporter Plus adds charts, histograms, and trend analysis graphs. All these make it pretty obvious as to what should be done in order to optimize Exchange resources or plan their capacity accurately. In other words, these Exchange reports provide insights by an Exchange administrator.
