PM Employee Monitor | Features
Productivity Management
It is important to restrict a user's access in the workplace, but we understand you don't want to be portrayed as a ruthless dictator either. With productivity management, you can have the best of both worlds. This unique feature allows you to limit the amount of time a user can access websites and applications you deem as being non-productive.With this ability, you can allow users to have a little freedom, without allowing them to take advantage of your generosity. For instance, you may choose to allow employees two 15 minute breaks each day. You can configure the productivity management segment of PM Employee Monitor to permit users to access non-productive sites (like Facebook and Twitter) for 30 minutes a day. Please see how to limit Facebook time.
Top 10 Interactive Reports
You can spend hours sifting through logs to determine what sites and applications your users' are using the most. Or, you can use PM Employee Monitor's “Top 10” interactive reports to easily see statistics on this information. At a glance you can view what activities employees are spending the most time on, and decide whether or not it's acceptable. Perhaps you forgot to block an unproductive application. Maybe you overlooked the filtering of some unacceptable site content. No worries. It will stand out in the Top 10, and you can quickly add it in.Websites Monitoring and Blocking
With PM Employee Monitor, website filtering has never been easier. You can specify which sites to ban by URL or keyword. Alternatively, you can specify which sites to allow by URL or keyword, and block everything else. Our intuitive keyword filtering system allows you to block sites based on content rather than address, prevent the need to ban sites based solely on an address which may change in the future. PM Software's proprietary keyword matching logic works efficiently in the background so your computer does not slow down. You may also easily ban sites by using our predefined categories.Additionally, integrated traffic monitoring services keep logs of all web traffic for your review. The page title, URL, and time of visit are all recorded and can easily be located and evaluated for information or auditing purposes.
Applications Monitoring and Blocking
While you may be able to remove some unwanted software from employee computers, in an enterprise environment, it's often the case you want to provide specific software access only to certain users. Application blocking lets you do just that. You may choose to block applications from our predefined list of common “time-wasters” or ban specific applications by choosing them directly from the client computer. PM Employee Monitor's built-in log of launched applications also allows you to easily view a list of historically used programs. This is particularly convenient for reviewing user trends as well as detecting unblocked programs that may need restricting.Chat & Instant Messenger Blocking
Instant messengers and chat programs are a huge time wasters. There is rarely a time, if any, when employees should be chatting online instead of working. This is why we provide the ability to ban the use of chat and instant messenger applications like Windows Live Messenger, ICQ, AIM, and many more.Keystroke Monitoring
Keystroke monitoring has proven to be a very useful tool when auditing the activity of users. Our key logging allows you to see all information typed by a user, regardless of what application they are using. PM Employee Monitor makes it easy to review this data as well by formatting it in a log with application name, start time, along with the keystrokes that were recorded.Screenshot Capturing
Some users may require you to spend a little extra time to detail. You may feel the need to obtain a clearer picture of what is really occurring on their workstation. When keystroke logging isn't enough, PM Employee Monitor's screenshot capturing capabilities will be!You can configure the software to take screen grabs at customizable intervals of time. You may also set the image quality for the screenshot to ensure file size is kept manageable for your storage needs. Reviewing the screenshots is made easy with our thumbnail interface, allowing you to see the screen grab at a glance, or expand to full size.
System Security
You can configure software to restrict and monitor user access all day, but if you don't limit their access to system level tools and utilities, your efforts may easily be circumvented. Our system security module enables you to restrict access to things like Windows control panel, command prompt, and task manager. You can also prevent users from changing the system date and time, modifying the registry, and much more!Individual User Settings
Not all users are created equal. We realize that at PM Software, which is why we allow you to configure Employee Monitor on a user-by-user level. You may create user profiles to tailor monitoring and security needs for a specific type of user. This level of flexibility is an absolute necessity in most workplaces.Remote reporting via Email & FTP
We understand the data collected from our monitoring tools is only as good as the reports it is displayed on. Surveys have shown even the most functional software can provide little use if user-friendly reporting is not readily available. At PM Software, we developed robust reporting interfaces that allow you to schedule email or FTP delivery of reports.For instance, you can easily keep a close watch on an employee by scheduling screenshots to be sent remotely using FTP. This allows you to see exactly what a user is doing! You may also configure Employee Monitor to automatically upload logs to a remote server. In order to maintain usability, your log files will be organized into separate folders, making them easy to navigate and review. These features provide a centralized way to access data, without having to access shares on individual workstations.

Employee Monitor has many great features, and what makes them even greater is their ease of use. None of our tools are overcomplicated or hidden away in some corner. They're all easy to access and configure.Installation is a snap too! Our wizard driven setup tool is easy to perform and allows full installation in only a couple of steps. Want to see for yourself?
