OFFICE 365 MONITORING & REPORTING
Gain visibility into your Hybrid / Office 365 environment.
Detect Outages Quickly
Outages in a cloud based world often leave admins in the dark, ENow turns the light back on.
NATIVE TOOLS LIMITATIONS
Microsoft’s native tools, like the Service Health Dashboard, often do not provide outage information in a timely manner. This causes many IT Pros to turn to Twitter for official updates.
ENow’s Office 365 Monitoring solution monitors your entire environment from a single pane of glass. When an outage does occur, ENow allows you to determine if the outage is a Microsoft problem or a "you" problem.
OFFICE 365 MONITORING BY REGION
In contrast to an on-premises outage, Office 365 outages are often localized to a certain region(s).
Easily install a remote probe on a workstation to visually map service status for regions your users are in. When outage occurs you can quickly isolate which subset of your users are affected.
OFFICE 365 MONITORING BY APPS
Office 365 contains a wide variety of Apps like Teams, One Drive, SharePoint, and more!
ENow's synthetic transactions mimic end users key behaviors with Office 365 apps. For example, one of our Teams synthetic transaction tests the ability to create and post to a channel. With Exchange Online we test the ability to send and receive mail.

OFFICE 365 HONEYMOON PHASE
When cloud-based services like Office 365 first came to market over a decade ago, we all bought the pitch that the cloud would be cheaper and require no management. However, the honeymoon phase soon came to a screeching halt.
You soon realized that Microsoft does not bear all responsibility. Hybrid components and the network can certainly lead to Office 365 outages.
ON-PREMISE COMPONENTS
On-premises components such as AD FS, PTA, and Exchange Hybrid are critical in the end-to-end user experience of Office 365. In addition, something as trivial as expiring Exchange or AD FS certificates can certainly lead to an outage.
ENow proactively monitors hybrid components, giving you early warning when hybrid components are reaching a critical state or a certificate expiration is coming up. Alert thresholds are customizable to your organizations needs.
NATIVE TOOLS LIMITATIONS
ENow's network monitoring determines if your network is preventing connectivity to Office 365. With more users working from home it's possible that VPN's taxed your network, disrupting connection or causing latency to Office 365.
Custom Office 365 Reporting Capabilites
Don't be constrained by the limited native Office 365 reports.
OFFICE 365 REPORTING HUB
While Office 365 does have built in reports, they are often quite limited and do not offer the insights vital to many organizations. This leaves many admins scrambling to create manual reports with no central repository.
ENow has an extensive list of built in Office 365 reports and dashboards that can be personalized for all your key stakeholders. Don't see a report you need? No problem, we have a PowerShell Wizard that you can use to create desired reports.
TRACK OFFICE 365 CONSUMPTION
ENow highlights license consumption rate by license type over various time frames. Obtain license count in relation to specific groups or departments.
In addition, you can also drill down into specific Office 365 apps like Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.
POWERSHELL REPORTING WIZARD
Given the breadth of Office 365 and each organizations unique needs, you may need to utilize PowerShell to obtain the desired data.
ENow's built in PowerShell wizard enables IT Pros to store and run their Exchange On-Premises, SharePoint Online, and other Office 365 apps directly to the ENow reporting hub

Out of the box, Office 365 built-in reports were not providing the level of detail our organization required.
