SonicWall Reporting Made Awesome!
You don’t need to be a log analysis expert to understand Fastvue Reports. Designed for HR, Department Managers and IT.
The best part for me is that once I setup the reports and who they go to, I am out of the loop totally. The department manager can parse through the report, run more detailed reports, and take action without involving me at all as a net admin. Fastvue Site Clean made it even easier for the managers to understand (How do you explain what a CDN is to the accounting manager?).
Fastvue Reporter makes reporting against Internet usage very easy and friendly to use. Non-technical staff/managers can now view reports and get a meaningful and clear picture of what is happening.
Live Dashboards
Fastvue Reporter is always ready to show you what is happening on your network right now. Real-time dashboards focus on the trifecta of network concerns: Bandwidth, Productivity and Security.
Don’t Trust Your Firewall’s Internet Usage Reports
Fastvue Site Clean makes the log data from your firewall reflect real Internet usage activity. It removes images, scripts, fonts, ads, and other background traffic so you can send meaningful Internet usage reports an alerts, to the right person.
The Problem of Reporting on the Modern Web
Internet Reports produced by web gateways such as SonicWall do not distinguish between the web sites people intentionally access, and the web sites that are automatically accessed behind the scenes.
Fastvue Site Clean (Patent Pending) digs deeper and looks at all characteristics of web browsing log file data, to provide a more accurate picture of real web activity.
Simple Report Scheduling
Managing employee productivity is a job for Department Managers or HR. Get web activity reporting off your desk and into the hands of the people that need it! Easily filter reports by Departments, Security Groups, Offices, or Subnets and automatically send them to the right person each day, week or month.
Detailed Investigations
Fastvue’s innovative Activity Reports not only include full activity details such as timestamps and full URLs, but they intuitively group them into browsing sessions with green bars showing exactly when browsing started and stopped. A real time saver compared with trawling through logs.
Intelligent Alerts
Send instant alerts to the right people a soon as notable issues occur such as enormous downloads, and unacceptable activity and network threats. All the detail they need, sent straight to their inbox!
Productivity Reporting
Fastvue Reporter assesses web productivity according to your guidelines to highlight unproductive or unacceptable browsing.
See exactly what is being allowed (or blocked) that shouldn’t be, and adjust your Content Filter policies accordingly.
Fastvue Reporter for SonicWall gave us the ability to identify time-wasting traffic and maximize our bandwidth usage for all employees. Such a great granular reporting tool!
Active Directory Integration
Seamless (zero config) AD integration, enables simple reporting across AD Departments, Offices, Companies and Security Groups.
Advanced Filtering
Need the flexibility to schedule reports for subnets instead of departments, or ‘monitored’ traffic vs ‘allowed’ traffic, or perhaps drill into a specific MAC address or Source Zone? Fastvue Reporter’s advanced filtering engine narrows down your reports to anything you can dream up!
Central Reporting Across Multiple SonicWalls
Configure all your SonicWall devices to send Syslog messages to Fastvue Reporter and enjoy a centralized view of your entire network’s web and firewall activity.
Fastvue Reporter for SonicWall is fantastic!!! Certainly one of the best software packages I’ve ever come across – does exactly what it needs to do, dead easy to use, and fantastic support from the Fastvue team! (Read Gordon’s full review).
When our demo ran out I literally felt blind as to what was going on with people surfing, etc. Working with support has been a total pleasure as they’re willing to go above and beyond to make the customer completely satisfied!
