# What kind of reporting and auditing capabilities are provided for device inventory, compliance status, security events, and policy changes?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Clear reporting and audit trails are essential for managing devices and staying on top of security. Platforms like <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jumpcloud/reviews"><strong>JumpCloud</strong></a> often highlight their ability to generate detailed reports on device inventory, compliance status, and policy changes, along with logs of security events.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> Features that are especially helpful include:</p><ul>
<li>Dashboards for tracking all devices, users, and compliance levels</li>
<li>Audit logs that record changes, security incidents, and user activity</li>
<li>The option to filter and drill down into specific details, such as which devices are out of compliance or when a policy was last updated</li>
<li> For many teams, the ability to customize reports and export them in different formats is a must—whether it’s for audits, management reviews, or sharing with other departments.</li>
<li> How flexible and user-friendly are these reporting tools in JumpCloud? Any best practices for creating and exporting reports that actually make day-to-day work easier?</li>

&lt;p&gt;Customizing reports makes it a lot easier to get just the info you need for a specific audit.&lt;/p&gt;
