Features and Benefits

Quest Reporter

  • Multiple, Scalable Data Collection Methods: Delivering the flexibility you require, Reporter supports live and scheduled data collection. For large environments, Reporter uses distributed data collectors and compressed transport mode. This advanced technology is strategically deployed throughout your network to minimize bandwidth consumption and provide load balancing capabilities. Also, the data collectors are managed all from a single console, which improves efficiency. These options ensure that you can collect the most current data available or take advantage of scheduling capabilities to minimize the impact on users and network resources.
  • Baseline Comparisons: With Reporter’s Configuration Baselining feature, organizations can perform automated comparisons of Active Directory and Windows configurations against an ideal baseline. This speeds the deployment and ongoing management of servers and reduces the workload on administrators.
  • Instant Expertise: With Reporter’s Configuration Baselining module, Organizations have extensive predefined rule-based templates to perform a comparison of their environment to some of the most common enterprise configuration standards, such as Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks, Microsoft Best Practices, and fully customizable to support internal and external operational practices. There are thousands of rules that are shipped with the product.
  • Data Analysis and Presentation: Reporter provides more than 300 predefined, editable reports that you can output to multiple formats including Excel, PDF, CSV, RTF, HTML and via a Knowledge Portal. The product also empowers you to create customized reports with the flexibility to include additional attributes and leverage advanced filtering. Reporter promotes efficient, effective data analysis and helps to ensure that reporting reflects the unique informational needs of your organization.
  • Compliance Views: Fast visualization and quick drill down into general or very specific compliant and non-compliant categories/areas is available with Reporter. Advanced filtering capabilities granularly scope compliance results to your needs.
  • Change History Reports: Reporter’s collection and storage algorithm was designed for change history reporting. Therefore, it is automatic and all that is required is to invoke Reporter to display the change history results. This powerful feature gives you more in-depth insight for historical analysis.
  • Action-Enabled Reports: Supporting a proactive approach to security, Reporter allows you to resolve configuration problems and automate changes based on results. Pinpointing the cause of the security breach and automating appropriate change, Reporter eliminates previously manual processes and saves you valuable time.
