Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. Office Sentry is free, open-source software under the AGPL-3.0. You run it on your own server; a small cloud server is enough for most MSPs.
Can it change anything in a client's tenant?
No. It only asks Microsoft for read permissions, and its code can't write to Microsoft Graph or run Exchange commands other than ones that read.
Does it read anyone's email?
No. It reads settings, mailbox details such as size, forwarding and permissions, and inbox rules, never message contents. What Office Sentry reads lists every permission, written for your clients.
Where is the data kept?
On your own server, in one database you can back up and restore. Office Sentry has no telemetry, so nothing is sent to us.
How is it different from Microsoft's own admin centres?
Microsoft shows one tenant at a time, in its own words, with little history. Office Sentry keeps every night's results for every client, compares them month by month and across clients, and turns them into branded reports.
