ManageEngine has announced the addition of Skype for Business server reports to Exchange Reporter Plus, its Exchange auditing, monitoring and reporting solution. Available immediately, these new reports allow Exchange administrators to get metrics on and analyse every aspect of their Skype for Business environment.
While email is still the primary means of workplace communication, many Windows-based organisations depend on Skype for Business for real-time collaboration through calls, conferences and file transfers. Despite giving employees a more efficient way to communicate and collaborate with each other, Skype for Business presents some challenges for administrators. When it comes to reporting, the Skype for Business native control panel is cumbersome and time-consuming to use; PowerShell is a good alternative but only for those proficient in scripting.
“With all the problems that come with native Skype reporting, administrators are looking for a better alternative, one that’s faster and easier to use,” said Manikandan Thangaraj, director of product management at ManageEngine. “Going forward, we plan to make admins’ lives even easier by expanding the Skype for Business capabilities in Exchange Reporter Plus to include auditing and monitoring features.”
Exchange Reporter Plus starts at $345 per year and is available for download at www.manageengine.com/products/exchange-reports/download.html. A fully-functional, 60-day evaluation version is also available for download.
