One of the advantages of a hardware appliance, in addition to its compatibility and extremely low profile on the network, is its ease of use. Configuration of the Enter- prise Reporter can seem disarmingly simple at times, but when the hardware and software are designed to work together, the levels of complication decrease and robust power and efficiency significantly increase.

The Enterprise Reporter version 5.0 series has an enhanced Web-based user interface that is designed to be very intuitive, utilizing an easy-to-navigate menu tree that is organized to follow the natural flow of an investigation of anomalous Internet activity.

This section of the evaluation guide leads the evaluator, in a linear fashion, through the most common and useful features of the Enterprise Reporter, starting with the elements that should be configured first, then moving on to the usage of the many different types of reports available in the Reporter. You are directed through the normal path of initial setup, and then led through a standard use case that explains how to investigate a violation of your Internet Acceptable Use Policy.

After stepping through this evaluation guide, you will understand how to set up powerful reports that can be e-mailed on a regular basis, thus minimizing the effort required for ongoing configuration of the product. In short, this evaluation guide demonstrates that the Enterprise Reporter is both easy-to-use while at the same time best-in-class in the level of detailed reporting it provides.
