Reports in the Microsoft 365 admin center

Get insights on how employees are using Microsoft 365 apps and services through the available reports in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Reports are available for the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days. You need to have the right admin permissions to be able to view these reports. To access the admin center, go to admin.microsoft.com and sign in with your account information. Alternatively, you can access the Microsoft 365 admin center by logging in through www.office.com or through the Microsoft 365 Admin mobile app.

The following list describes the two types of reports available in the admin center:

  • Adoption score. Adoption score provides insights into your organization's digital transformation journey through its use of Microsoft 365 and the technology experiences that support it. Your organization's score reflects people and technology experience measurements and can be compared to benchmarks from organizations similar to yours. Adoption score provides metrics, insights and recommendations in two areas: people experiences and technology experiences.
    • People experiences. Quantifies how the organization works using Microsoft 365 categories like content collaboration, mobility, communication, meetings and teamwork.
    • Technology experiences. Quantifies how reliable and well-performing the technology is and the efficient use of Microsoft 365. These insights can be viewed through Endpoint analytics and network connectivity.
  • Usage. Usage reports help you see how users are using Microsoft 365 apps and services across your organization. These reports can help you make changes or steer user behavior to maximize the benefits you get with Microsoft 365. You can drill down into each product report to get more detailed insights about the activities within each product. For example, you can understand the activity of each user licensed to use Microsoft 365 Apps by looking at their activity across the apps and how they're utilized across platforms.
