Reporting - Using Reporting

This article contains information on using the Mimecast Reporting module to monitor email activity, analyze data trends, schedule or download reports, and access features like PDF reports, CSV data, and account assessments for infrastructure planning and usage insights.

The Mimecast Reporting module provides Administrators with a view of what is happening in their email environment. This includes detailed statistics on:

• How many messages are being sent or rejected.
• The data volumes being transmitted.

These reports can assist with infrastructure planning through data load analysis, show spam, virus trends, and supply usage reports on a per-user basis.

Administrators can also schedule reports to be emailed out or download the reports from the Administration Console. These reports can then be analyzed and any necessary changes made.

Note:

Reporting data is available for a year, although scheduled reports can be stored in PDF for a longer period.
