Google scholar uses statistics, such as h-index and i10-index, to encapsulate the publication performance of academics.

Is there a way to check the breakdown of an academic's research record? For example, software that shows publication breakdown into peer-reviewed journal, non-peer-reviewed journals, conference papers etc.

When an academic has hundreds of papers, it is a time consuming exercise to review. This is the motivation for this question.

Apologies if this has already been answered!

    If an academic has hundreds of papers, and doesn't have a reputation - if you're an outsider, evidence for this reputation might be invited talks and the like, but it's better to just consult insiders - then I think it's safe to conclude their work isn't all that worthwhile. And if they have a reputation - that reputation counts more than the publication record. What problem are you trying to solve?

Google Scholar does not offer data about document types.

Web of Science offers good disaggregations of publication types:

First, go to a researcher profile. Then, on the right menu, click on "View Citation Reports". Here is an example of Anton Zeilinger (see bottom right):

Next, click on "Analyze Results".

You can then choose "Document Types". With our example of Anton Zeilinger, we see (out of a total 453 publications) 332 articles, 82 proceeding papers, 21 editorial materials, 14 letters, 10 book chapters, 6 notes, 6 correction etc.:
