Estudande de Arquitetura ### "Monitoramento eficiente, configuração simples e gravação leve" November 6, 2026 5.0 O KeepActive me informa diariamente, por meio de relatórios, quais funcionários são produtivos e improdutivos. Pros Gosto que o KeepActive seja simples de configurar: nas máquinas, só instalei o programa e vinculei a chave de ativação; no servidor, também foi só instalar e já recebi os guias. Gosto da gravação de tela, que ocupa pouco espaço no servidor e me permite não assinar uma VPS muito cara. O monitoramento funciona perfeitamente, e recebo relatórios diários sobre funcionários produtivos e improdutivos. Cons Eu gostaria que a gravação de tela pudesse ser feita em 15 ou 30 fps. Review Source R Reviewer Data Analytics Officer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Excellent visibility for remote workforce management." July 13, 2026 5.0 I love the automated productivity analysis. The software automatically categorizes apps and websites into 'productive' or 'unproductive' categories based on the employee's role. It gives me accurate, bias-free metrics without requiring any manual data entry.Excellent lightweight monitoring software with top-tier live screen viewing. Pros The video recording and playback of user activity is incredibly valuable. If there is a dispute or a major mistake in a project, we can easily look back at the video logs to see exactly where the workflow broke down. It completely eliminates guesswork Cons The lack of a dedicated mobile application. It works perfectly on desktop operating systems, but it is difficult to monitor team activity or review productivity data on the go when you are away from your main computer. Review Source Leonardo M. Partner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "good tool to boost productivity" March 13, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Kickidler has been outstanding. It is far more than just "spyware"; it is a genuine workforce analytics and productivity tool. Since implementing it, it has been much easier to correct workflow errors, balance task distribution, and securely manage remote employees. By using the software transparently, our team’s productivity and focus have skyrocketed, while time-wasting habits have naturally decreased. It is a stable, secure, and essential solution for any business looking to optimize its operations and safeguard its data. Pros The most impressive feature is the real-time visual monitoring combined with continuous screen video and audio recording. Unlike basic screenshot tools, this makes it nearly impossible for users to cheat the system and provides full context to employee actions. I also highly value the robust Data Leak Prevention (DLP) suite—which includes OCR, behavioral analytics, and file transfer blocking—as well as its strict GDPR compliance and seamless operation across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Cons Because the system collects such a vast amount of data, some of the analytical reports can feel excessively detailed if you are only looking for a quick, high-level operational overview. Additionally, the software currently relies on full video recording rather than interval screenshots, though the developers have noted that a screenshot-only feature is planned for a future update.

Le service client est réactif, professionnel, et disponible en cas de besoin. La facilité d'utilisation s'améliore rapidement après les premiers jours, et la plateforme devient vite un outil incontournable pour suivre l’activité, gérer les performances et assurer un bon niveau de transparence au sein de l’équipe. Grâce aux rapports de productivité automatiques, nous avons pu ajuster nos méthodes de travail et améliorer l’efficacité globale. Je recommande Kickidler aux entreprises qui souhaitent gagner en visibilité, mieux gérer le temps de travail et renforcer la performance de leurs équipes. Pros Ce que j’ai le plus apprécié chez Kickidler, c’est la richesse des fonctionnalités combinée à une interface claire. L’outil permet un suivi du temps précis, la surveillance en temps réel, l’enregistrement des sessions, et surtout des rapports de productivité détaillés. Cela facilite grandement la gestion des employés et permet d'identifier rapidement les problèmes ou les temps improductifs. Le rapport qualité-prix est très bon par rapport à d’autres solutions similaires, surtout compte tenu des fonctionnalités avancées incluses. Cons La prise en main initiale peut être un peu intimidante, surtout pour les utilisateurs non techniques. Certaines fonctionnalités demandent un peu de configuration pour fonctionner pleinement. Il est également essentiel de bien communiquer avec les équipes pour éviter une perception négative de la surveillance.
