Keeping an eye on users and what they are up to in Microsoft 365 is crucial to ensuring efficiency and security in your organization. Tracking your employees can help you understand what they are doing, which Microsoft 365 services they are using, are they using the licenses assigned to them to the fullest, etc. Once you understand these aspects, you can manage your Microsoft 365 organization in an orderly and efficient manner.

For example, by tracking the employee activities in Microsoft 365, you can see if they have been assigned a license they don't use. This allows you to remove that license for that user. You can even track how many times the user has logged on to work, how much they are using a Microsoft 365 service, etc.

But you might find yourself looking for more in terms of data and features. This is where M365 Manager Plus comes in.
