About SoftActivity Monitor

SoftActivity Monitor is a cloud-based employee monitoring solution that helps businesses track staff activities to protect enterprise systems from internal threats. Key features include internet usage monitoring, screen activity recording, productivity analysis, time tracking and browsing history.

IT professionals can use SoftActivity Monitor to view remote screens of all computers in the local area network (LAN), ensuring compliance with government regulations. The centralized platform allows enterprises to display websites visited by employees, time spent on each page and view history of sites visited even in incognito mode. Additionally, the keylogger module helps record programs usage and keystrokes to provide visibility into employee activities and investigate security incidents.

SoftActivity Monitor can also be deployed in an on-premise environment, letting businesses generate reports based on computer usage, work in stealth mode to monitor users and improve staff productivity. Pricing is available on a monthly subscription and support is extended via documentation, FAQs and other online measures.

Pros:

The software is very easy to install and use. It gives very detailed information and the settings can be customized to meet the requirements that you are looking for.

Cons:

In the activity database it does not show recordings of the particular company chat program that we use. Also, there have been a couple of times that it stopped taking screenshots for no reason and the database either had to be moved or a new one created to get it working again.

Pros:

Nice and simple. Does exactly what I want as in viewing multiple desktops at once. I can control many features from the software to each computer or in a group

Cons:

Biggest thing is sometimes sending a CTR-ALT-DEL to the machine so that you can login does not work. Contacted support several times and I feel like they blow me off as if I am not using it correctly.

Ease of use

So far we've been using it for couple years now and it's been doing it's job. Simple reports and reviews are nice. Updates before were giving issues but it has improved in the latest builds. There are times when the workstations disconnects or loses activity reporting, but after some reboots it starts right up again.

Pros:

The view history as a video is a great tool. Being able to see what is going on live and to be able to customize how often a screenshot is saved.

Cons:

It does not allow for running reports. Also looking at a web address I cannot always tell if it is personal or business and have to revert to looking at each individual screenshot. I have demoed other software and although this one is easier to navigate others gave report options.

Pros:

The insight into user history makes it a valuable tool for my school. It's a valuable tool to make user's accountable for their use on the computer.

Cons:

As we expanded to over 500 computers the server had a hard time kepping up. The amount of time it takes to download the data took a bit of time to get on to server.

Software monitoring

I am able to see when a user signed in from their computer and track activity of all of the sites they have visited. The reports show detail in a case when a user says they were doing work, but the report shows them browsing facebook or social media.

Functionality

Pros:

It is easy to configure if you are very technical. I like how you can silently install on a machine in the environment without the user knowing. It allows me to see if employees are actually doing their work or browsing the internet or streaming. I am able to protect the organization against employees copying data from the servers.

Cons:

It can be slightly difficult to setup. Once you get passed that, it is smooth sailing.

Pros:

Our company operates offices in multiple countries and we required a way to make sure that our users were working on the task. This application is great for keeping an eye on your easily distracted users and to better understand what your users are working on. More than once it has saved us days in lost time when we realized that a task was misunderstood.

Cons:

Some conflicts on some systems cause the application to crash. Updating works, but only mostly requiring some manual intervention.

Pros:

Activity Monitor really good application for staff monitor. This digital world have many data leak. But we can monitor with "Activity Monitor". We record computer screen like a CCTV camera. So staff working sincerely.

Cons:

We can check every staff computer screen. They are what send what delete. Or what do. Also we can record. Many IT companies going drop, the reason staff leaking data. But when we use Activity Monitor in our office all staff working fine because we record and monitor all, what they do. Also can get screen snapshot also

Screen Captures are by far my favorite feature. Being able to go back to a date and visually see what was going on is great.

Cons:

The fact that when you upgrade the software if you don't have a password on the clients it will bug out and create a password and not tell you. At that point you must manually uninstall the software from the pc and reinstall. Real pain
