### "Its great to see what your employees see! "

December 2, 2020

3.0

Its okay, I frankly would not invest in it.

Pros

...It works. You can see what employees are doing no matter how monitors, or how fast they work. Takes screenshots of everything.

Cons

Its buggy on computers. With taking screenshots every 3-4 seconds it can slow down computers and cause headaches.

### "Ease of Use"

January 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Gives me peace of mind regarding my remote employee. I am able to log in and see what approved OR unapproved sites have been visited.

Cons

We are a small office and could use a walk through to make sure that we are using this service to capacity.

### "A very pleasant experience so far. Lots of functionality and great detail on reports."

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ability to set different actions as productive or not. The live feedback on sites visited with the names of the tabs and a screenshot is also very useful.

Cons

The pricing could be a bit lower. Also the ability to change the productivity settings for certain domains per user.

### "Great help for employers "

December 7, 2018

5.0

Tracking employees activities Keeping an eye on whether everyone is doing what he is getting paid to do .

Pros

The greatest thing this helps with is to see what's actually going on!! You see that and you act on that, simple! Keep a eye on your employees and get all the time utilization data on your system about their activities, without them even knowing about it. Great tool. MUST HAVE.

Cons

Just a bit overloaded with features and complexity, but you want that if you want more functionality..

### "Screenshots are awesome!"

July 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

I worked for my husband for a bit of time. The free version has a lot to offer and we both loved the screenshot feature to monitor usage and troubleshoot issues.

Cons

Liked the free version and is great for small business, but we ran out of storage quickly. The paid versions get a bit expensive pretty quickly.

### "Great software with a ton of data to dig in to."

January 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to set up on multiple systems. Run the installer on each machine and away you go. Data starts flowing in to the admin panel immediately.

Cons

Almost too much data. A little overwhelming at first. But too much data is definitely better than not enough.

### "The staff is helpful and the software is useful and very good, but the price does not work for resel"

January 13, 2018

4.0

Abilitybto fill a need forna customer to track an employee

Pros

Features and service... the features are good and well rounded. I particularly like how easy it is to implement. I literally take only 5 minutes to set up on the workstation. Frankly, it surprised me how easy it was.

Cons

Price... not good for reselling. If I am going to resell your product, you should treat these transactions as extra revenue. The sale deserves a little more than a pittance over msrp.

### "Fairly easy to set up."

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

So many features; even with the free version. This service allows you to set up so many options to keep up with any inappropriate internet activities. The administrator can configure the alerts to report accessing pornography, on-line shopping and numerous other inappropriate activities. Activtrak allows one to fine-tune exactly what types of activities will be reported. This is a nice service for parents who want to keep up with what their children or teens are doing on-line.

Cons

Couldn't set up to where activity reports and alerts could be emailed to anyone besides the one who set up the account. Had to switch to a solution that offered external accountability. I used the free version for my own personal use. I was not a paying customer. This is a great program if you do not need or want external accountability.

### "It is a really great product, it is super useful when it comes to tracking staff. "

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

The fact that it is so easy to use and has helped us catch staff doing things they are not supposed to be doing.

Cons

The free version does not allow you to save the screenshots. Which really bad because it would make the whole program ten times better.

January 11, 2018

3.0

Pros

Can check on employee productivity - make sure employees are not on social media websites or shopping networks

Cons

Left a permanent extension - could not delete when stopped using the program. Even after I deleted program from computer. Still was receiving the "website blocked - contact your administrator" message

November 17, 2020

5.0

Very positive

Pros

Easy to use and effective way to monitor and report on productivity

Cons

would like some of the default settings to be changed for out of the box install (e.g. video recording should be an optional set up not defaulted to included)

### "Easy to use and setup Web monitoring software. Showed exactly what we wanted, very easy to use. "

January 15, 2018

5.0

Able to easily monitor internet usage and increase productivity.

Pros

Didn't have to change proxy settings or any physical changes to the pcs/server or network. Pushed the client out to pcs we wanted to monitor and instantly got the data we needed. Showed user names, not just pc names, a nice plus.

Cons

Interface is a little confusing at first. Was hard to figure out how to see individual users, but figured it out. Had to watch a few videos.

January 18, 2018

It's very admin friendly to setup and does everything you could need from monitoring software

Pros

Loved the setup, very easy to do, invisible to the end user, very accurate and real time reporting. easy to deploy with AD and GPO. Easy to exclude certain users

### "It's better than nothing, but missing "

January 11, 2018

3.0

Pros

Ease of use. Consise useful weekly email reports. Ability to set which websites and apps are prodctive and which are not.

Cons

It measures only the active window, so the users can for example watch videos in an inactive window. Also, lately our website usage log is full of firefox:// edge:// and chrome:// instead of the real websites and I wasnt able to google what to do about it. I use only free version because of this.

### "I was amazed by the number views and information given by the software "

January 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the breakdown of productive time and unproductive time and the screenshots and time that each site was visited. This allows proof and time spent when having to confront an employee about private internet use.

Cons

It's hard to say that I like any aspect LEAST, but it might be the percentage of time spent on unproductive sites, as we sometimes use social media as a research medium to find out things we need to know.

### "Very easy to setup, use and get reports from."

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Screenshots and videos with timestamps make it very easy to use. Being able to categorize software and programs under productive and not is very helpful. Overall, the experience of not having to use any local servers for this and having it all cloud based makes for a very streamlined experience for our managers.

Cons

The ability to uninstall the software should be available from the cloud, not from having to get on the local workstation and remove it there. That makes it a bit harder to be subtle when investigating employee behavior.

### "Very good Employee monitoring system"

April 28, 2019

5.0

It has been great overall. Minimal cons and not really significant, to me at least. :)

Pros

It has some unique features that are very powerful that you can't find on any other employee monitoring system

Cons

Maybe the paid features could be free of service
