Is Microsoft Exchange Server an integral part of your organization? If so, SSW Exchange Reporter provides the tools and reports you need to efficiently analyze your organizations email usage. Built in Exchange reports range from who is sending the most emails, to who has the largest mailbox.
As new emails are sent and received, to and from your exchange server, our lightweight windows service seamlessly extracts email messages and folder statistics to your fast SQL Server backend. By taking advantage of SQL Servers Reporting Services, the generated reports can easily be customized and extended while being viewed securely from anywhere. That is why experts say that SSW Exchange Reporter is the most powerful and the only flexible solution to understanding your organizations communications.

Question: How can I test it without having Exchange Server?
Answer: During the installation, if there is no Exchange Server detected, Exchange Reporter will ask if you want to install the sample database provided. The sample database will be installed by our leading database upgrading product SSW SQL Deploy

How it Works

SSW Exchange Reporter runs as a Windows Service in the background on your Exchange Server and periodically retrieves data from users' mailboxes and stores it in a SQL Server database for fast and efficient report generation.

Reports are hosted by SQL Reporting Services and can be viewed by any user with a web browser. Reports can also be configured to automatically 'push' themselves to users' mailboxes according to a schedule, ensuring that all the necessary people in your organization are kept up to date with the latest statistics.
