Smarter M365 Governance with Orchestry Recommendations

Written by Orchestry | Oct 28, 2025 2:47:52 PM

Microsoft 365 environments never stand still. Even well-managed tenants pick up clutter, risk, and misconfigurations that slow teams down, complicate governance, and block Copilot readiness. 

That’s where Orchestry Recommendations comes in.

It’s more than a checklist: it’s your built-in governance guide that continuously analyzes your environment and surfaces clear, prioritized next steps to keep your tenant clean, secure, and efficient.

Continuous Microsoft 365 tenant scanning with prioritized actions

Unlike static governance guides or manual audits, Orchestry Recommendations isn’t a one-size-fits-all checklist. It scans your environment every night, looking for potential risks and opportunities, and surfaces recommendations that will have the most impact for your organization.

The result? No more guesswork. Just clarity and actionable insights. 

Open the Recommendations section to see tenant health at a glance, including suggested recommendations, resolved ones, and snoozed items you’ve paused for later.

Prioritize what matters most in Microsoft 365

Not all issues are equal, and Orchestry knows that. You can easily filter your view to focus on:

  • Urgent Items: Surface critical risks like forbidden guests, unsafe sharing links, or drops in Secure Score.   
  • Best Practices: Explore non-critical but valuable improvements that align with Microsoft and industry standards, such as identifying when your environment lacks a designated home site for your intranet.
  • Categories & Products: Zoom in on recommendations specific to Teams, SharePoint, Copilot readiness, or other Microsoft 365 services.

Orchestry Recommendations

Every recommendation includes:

  • Business impact: Why it matters, with clear explanations and context your stakeholders will understand.
  • Recommended actions: Exactly how to address the issue.
  • Supporting resources: Links to Microsoft Learn, community posts, or Orchestry documentation.

You’re never left wondering what to do next.

Tailor, snooze, or create your own recommendations

Governance priorities shift, and Orchestry adapts with those changes. 

If something isn’t a priority today, snooze it for 7 days, 14 days, or indefinitely. When the snooze expires, Orchestry will automatically bring it back into your active view. 

Need to track organization-specific initiatives? Add your own recommendations, complete with priorities, categories, impacted products, and custom actions. Recommendations is more than a governance tool – it's a collaborative task list for IT and business teams alike.

Track progress and report governance outcomes

Every resolved recommendation is saved, creating a transparent history of your team’s governance journey. Revisit resolved items anytime to inform quarterly reports or showcase the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your Microsoft 365 environment secure and optimized.

Benefits: Proactive Microsoft 365 governance and Copilot readiness
