Introducing Quest® Enterprise Reporter

Introducing Quest® Enterprise Reporter

Quest Enterprise Reporter provides administrators, security officers, help desk staff, and other stakeholders with insight into their network environment. Reporting on your network environment provides:

•
General visibility into the security and configuration of your environment.
•
Validation against your security policies to ensure objects are configured as expected. This helps you detect security violations such as identifying users with inappropriate access.
•
An easy way to respond to inquiries from internal and external auditors requesting security and configuration information.

Enterprise Reporter provides scalability, security, and customizability by:

•
Allowing the use of Multi-Factor Authentication enabled credentials to be used on cloud discoveries for added security.
•
Allowing you to deploy Enterprise Reporter to take advantage of both your network structure and available hardware or virtual computers. You can scale your deployment up or down as your needs change.
•
Separating data collection from reporting, allowing less technical users to easily generate the reports they need from stored data.
•
Using role-based security to provide and revoke access to your Quest Enterprise Reporter deployment.
•
Providing granular credentials management, allowing you to access information using different accounts for performing different tasks and accessing different parts of your environment. Accounts are stored in a central Credential Manager, making it easy for you to see what accounts are in use and to keep them up to date.
•
Providing a full featured report designer. You can easily customize the included reports by adding attributes and using advanced filtering, or you can build new reports to satisfy the unique requirements of your organization.
•
Automating the collection of data and the generation and delivery of reports.

Key Features of Enterprise Reporter

Organizations worldwide are struggling to keep up with corporate policies, changing government regulations, and industry standards. Generating reports that prove compliance, and deciding what data to include, is a time consuming and difficult process. To meet compliance requirements or initiate IT best practices, organizations must know exactly what is in the IT infrastructure at any moment in time, how it is configured, and who has access to it. Quest presents Enterprise Reporter as a solution to these problems.

Enterprise Reporter provides a unified solution for data discovery and report generation. Using the Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager, administrators can easily configure and deploy discoveries to collect and store data. Once the data has been collected, the Report Manager allows users to produce reports that help organizations to ensure that they comply with industry regulations and standards, adhere to internal security policies, monitor hardware and software requirements, and fulfill many other reporting requirements.

Using the Configuration Manager, you can:

•
Configure your collection environment to minimize network traffic and optimize performance.
•
Create discoveries to collect data that will be made available to the Report Manager:
•
information about your Active Directory environment
•
information about files and folders from domains, OUs, computers, NetApp and EMC filers, shares, and DFS shares
•
information about the computers in your environment
•
data from specified SQL Server computers, instances, and databases

•

•
Schedule discoveries to run automatically.
•
Track the progress of discoveries, and pinpoint any errors in the collection.
