Instead of manually gathering data, which could take a significant amount of time, SmartProfiler for M365 has automated all the tests to ensure that the assessment is completed in a matter of hours.
If you’re really looking for an Active Directory security assessment tool, download SmartProfiler and perform an assessment. This will assist you in identifying security, health, and configuration problems.
The health and misconfiguration assessment feature of SmartProfiler can be very useful in demonstrating that your environment does not use Microsoft’s suggested settings.
The best feature of SmartProfiler is that it can perform the assessment without a Global Admin account and without needing the registration of an Azure AD application. Because it only required a Global Reader Account, we were able to use the tool effectively for our clients and clients could allow us to conduct the assessment!
SmartProfiler's advanced assessment parameters really gives you insights about your Active Directory environment and make sure every risk is mitigated.
