Security Reporter

With SharePoint Security Reporter you can quickly:

* See ‘who can access what’
* Analyze security group membership
* View powerful security analysis reports

SharePoint Security Reporter enables you to quickly determine who has access to every SharePoint site, site collection, library and document.

In a matter of minutes you get complete, up to date analyses of the security applied to all types of SharePoint content.

You can also refine the information using advanced filtering and search features.

Permissions Analyzer

With SharePoint Permissions Analyzer you can easily:

* Determine ‘who can do what’
* Display all objects a user has access to
* Understand what grants the user access

SharePoint’s security model offers layer upon layer of permissions options. These layers provide the granular security required to secure important information.

They also make it difficult to understand how group membership, roles, policies and permission levels affect user access.

For example, how many times a week are you asked 'Why don't I have access?', or How did they get access?'.

With Permissions Analyzer you can answer these questions in seconds.

Site Monitor

With SharePoint Site Monitor, you can continually monitor the performance of any SharePoint URL to:

* See when sites are down or performing poorly
* Identify performance bottlenecks
* View performance over time
* Analyze site performance trends

Monitoring the performance of your SharePoint environment can be a difficult and time consuming task.

Oftentimes the first time you find out about a performance problem is when a user calls you!

SharePoint Site Monitor enables you to identify and solve the problem before your users are impacted.

Space Trends

With SharePoint Space Trends you can track the growth of your sites and document libraries so you can:

* Identify and analyze storage growth trends
* Perform capacity planning
* Prevent system outages due to storage problems

Storing documents in SharePoint is easy and convenient. However, this convenience also means that storage can grow out of control fast – really fast!

SharePoint Space Trends enables you to proactively manage the growth of your SharePoint storage to achieve optimum utilization of resources while ensuring uptime.

Backup Scheduler

SharePoint Backup Scheduler ensures your SharePoint environment is backed up regularly to protect against:

* Accidental deletion
* Data corruption
* Hardware failure

SharePoint stores critical data that you can’t afford to lose. It’s essential that you make sure your data is backed up consistently and regularly.

With SharePoint Backup Scheduler you can schedule full backups as often as you like.

You can also receive success or failure notifications via email and the Windows event log, ensuring that you never miss a backup.

Quick Admin

SharePoint Quick Admin makes it fast and easy to administer your SharePoint envorinment by:

* Providing a unified admin interface
* Covering all sites, site collections, Central Administration and the SharePoint Service Provider
* Providing powerful search and filtering capabilities

With all the things you have to administer in SharePoint and all the places you have to administer them, it’s often difficult to remember how and where to perform important administrative tasks.

For example you probably find yourself asking questions like:

* How do I change quotas?
* How can I rename a site?
* How can I find all permissions settings for sites and users?

Searching for the right admin control often takes longer than solving the actual problem. SharePoint Quick Admin solves this problem.

Site Backup

With SharePoint Site backup you can:

* Backup and restore documents in a few clicks
* Recover documents in minutes
* Let site admins backup their own sites and recover their own documents

Recovering lost documents in SharePoint can one of the most frequently requested and time consuming administrative tasks you perform.

If you’ve tried it, you know that it’s more difficult than it seems. It can sometimes take days to recover a single document.

SharePoint Site Backup saves you time by letting you delegate document backup and recovery to your users.

Alert Manager

SharePoint Alert Manager makes Alerts easy to define and manage by:

* Providing a single point of control
* Enabling you to view, edit and delete alerts
* Enabling you to manage alerts across all users

Alerts help your users keep up with SharePoint events that are important to them, like document uploads, updates or deletes.

This is a very powerful feature, but it also becomes a headache as the number of alerts quickly grows to an unmanageable level. And there’s no easy way to administer them!

SharePoint Alert Manager solves this problem, providing powerful facilities that enable you to identify and manage alerts across your SharePoint environment.

Database Accelerator

SharePoint Database Acellerator ensures your SharePoint databases perform well, by defragmenting them. You can:

* Analyze fragmentation levels
* Quickly and easily defrag them
* Manage fragmentation without needing an expert DBA

Almost all important SharePoint data is stored in a SQL Server database including built in pages, configuration settings and documents.

As information is retrieved, moved and updated it becomes fragmented and causes a significant performance drag.

SharePoint Database Accelerator enables you to avoid the performance problems caused by fragmentation.

It gives you the information you need to eliminate fragmentation BEFORE it becomes a problem
