# Which Office 365 management tools provide visibility into usage and help identify security risks and compliance gaps

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Native Microsoft 365 logs only go so far before IT teams need a tool that pulls activity, risk, and compliance data into one view instead of five different admin portals. Here's how three products in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/microsoft-365-management-tools">Microsoft 365 Management Tools category on G2</a> show up in reviews on that need.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/admindroid/reviews">AdminDroid</a> (4.6★, 36 reviews, Grid High Performer): reviewers describe pulling sign-in logs, admin activity, and security events from one place instead of jumping between Entra, Exchange, Purview, and Defender, using it to produce audit evidence for cyber insurance and compliance reviews. The tradeoff is a large report library that takes time to learn to navigate.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/avepoint-confidence-platform/reviews">AvePoint Confidence Platform</a> (4.5★, 129 reviews, Grid Leader): reviewers describe governance automation and data security posture management that surfaces oversharing and compliance gaps across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and other cloud environments from a single console. The tradeoff reviewers cite most is inconsistent navigation across its many modules.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sharegate/reviews">ShareGate</a> (4.6★, 197 reviews, Grid Leader): reviewers use its scanning features to identify orphaned records and orphaned users for security purposes, plus Permissions Matrix reports for auditing access across thousands of sites. The tradeoff is that some governance features, like external-share monitoring, were later split into a separately priced add-on.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Are you prioritizing a single pane of glass for cross-tenant compliance evidence, oversharing and data-security-posture risk detection, or permissions auditing tied to an existing SharePoint estate?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Oversharing and permissions risk would be my first priority because that’s where visibility needs to lead directly to action. I’d want to identify externally shared files, excessive permissions, orphaned accounts, and unusual access from one view, then remediate them without jumping between Microsoft admin portals. Compliance reporting becomes much more useful once it’s tied to risks the IT team can actually fix.&lt;/p&gt;
