MONITORING & REPORTING

At UserCompute, we know visibility is the lifeblood of effective IT management. Proactive monitoring and reporting ensure your environment remains secure, stable, and efficient. Here’s how we leverage best-in-class tools—Intune dashboards, Endpoint Analytics, Graph API, and Power BI—to give you clarity and confidence.

1. Why Visibility Is Critical for IT Admins

For IT admins, blind spots are the enemy. Without real-time visibility, issues escalate—security gaps, misconfigurations, or performance bottlenecks remain undetected. Clear reporting helps:

• Identify non-compliant devices and act fast

• Monitor trends to pre-empt future issues

• Justify investments with data-driven insights

UserCompute ensures you always have your finger on the pulse of your digital estate.

2. Intune Reporting Dashboards

Microsoft Intune offers a suite of built-in reports that deliver operational, organisational, and historical insights:

• Device compliance, device health, and device trends reports help administrators monitor endpoint status across the organisation.

• These dashboards enable targeted action—whether it’s addressing noncompliance or reviewing trends over time.

3. Endpoint Analytics & Productivity Scores

Endpoint Analytics delivers insights into user experience and device performance—key indicators for proactive IT:

• Startup performance, application reliability, and productivity scores are presented with actionable insights and recommendations.

• These scores range from 0 to 100, benchmarked against industry baselines, helping you pinpoint areas in need of improvement.

• For example, if your startup score lags the baseline, it flags specific apps or startup processes, dragging performance down.

4. Security and Compliance Monitoring

Monitoring security and compliance isn’t just best practice—it’s essential:

• Intune dashboards pinpoint devices that fail compliance policies and the specific issues causing those failures.

• Intune integrates with Azure Log Analytics and Workbooks to build rich, interactive reports (after enabling diagnostic data export).

5. Custom Reporting via Graph API & Power BI

Sometimes your reporting needs go beyond out-of-the-box dashboards—and that’s where custom tooling shines:

• Use the Microsoft Graph API to extract Intune data directly and drive custom dashboards.

• A popular approach is running an Azure Automation runbook, pushing data into Azure Log Analytics, and rendering it in Power BI—enabling dashboards like a Windows 365 licensing cost tracker.

• This architecture supports cross-source data integration, scheduled updates, and enhanced visualisation beyond standard reporting.

According to recent insights on SquaredUp, Intune admin centre, and Power BI:

Power BI delivers powerful, flexible data modelling and visualisation capabilities, enabling deep, tailored Intune analytics and cross-data integration.
