Improve employee productivity, detect insider threats such as IP theft, and investigate incidents.
This software has paid for itself many times over!
I downloaded the trial version and ended up buying a 5 user license within 20 minutes.
We do not want to have to find another solution because we are so impressed with the info we get from SoftActivity
Industries we serve
Buy SoftActivity Monitor or TS Monitor once, with a perpetual license and a one-year updates and support subscription. Or subscribe to SoftActivity Work in the cloud, monthly or yearly.
In the on-premise editions, activity from computers on your office network stays inside it, on your own server. SoftActivity Work stores it in a data center in the United States, encrypted in transfer and in storage.
Our experienced engineers designed and optimized SoftActivity to use minimal CPU, memory, battery and network bandwidth. It uses about 125 MB of RAM on each monitored computer.
Computer usage monitoring works the same way in every edition. You see employee activity in real time, and in reports you can go back to.
When something needs checking now, open the live view. The dashboard shows the desktops of the computers you choose side by side, in real time.
SoftActivity records every website employees visit, in any web browser, and the time each person spends in each application. The reports total time online and in each program by person, group and day, with screenshots of the pages.
SoftActivity shows when employees start and end the workday on each computer, when the computer sat idle, and which apps and websites filled the time in between.
SoftActivity captures screenshots on work computers and keeps them in order, next to the websites, apps and logon times around them. When you suspect misuse or an insider threat, you review what was on screen instead of guessing.
Activity reports arrive by email every day, week or month, so you don't have to sign in to keep up. For detail, open the reports in your browser: the Web Console on your own server, or SoftActivity Work in the cloud.

The on-premise trial is a demo version. It runs in visible mode and blurs screenshots to protect privacy.
Most days SoftActivity shows how work time is spent. It also helps IT, security and HR teams find out what happened when something looks wrong.
Insider threats can look ordinary: intellectual property or customer data leaving the company, sensitive records opened without a work reason, or signs of fraud. The same records help when a harassment complaint needs the facts.
The on-premise editions can help you meet HIPAA and PCI DSS requirements for monitoring and audit trails. They run on your own server, the database and screenshots can be stored on an encrypted drive, and only the people you choose can see the records. Your IT team sets them up to fit your compliance program.
Only the team members you choose can see the reports. SoftActivity doesn't sell or share your data, and has no access to on-premise data.
From the first minute we installed Activity Monitor, we cut out half the time I was spending monitoring people manually.
SoftActivity keeps further records of computer use for audits and investigations, and has settings for managers and IT. Some features depend on the edition: compare the editions to see what each one includes.
SoftActivity records logon and logoff times on each computer. TS Monitor and SoftActivity Work also record each user session on Windows RDS servers, including remote sessions over RDP. Login history is often where an investigation starts: who was signed in when something happened.
Give each manager access to only the users or groups they supervise. Install SoftActivity Monitor and SoftActivity Work on many computers at once, with Group Policy in your Active Directory domain or with Microsoft Intune. SoftActivity Work also has a REST API, so your own reporting tools can read the activity data.
Run SoftActivity in visible mode on any computer. Hidden (stealth) mode is only for company-owned computers, when users have agreed to monitoring through your company policy or other acceptable means.
In SoftActivity Monitor and TS Monitor, keystroke logging keeps what employees type in any application, in any language, and the SoftActivity Monitor app shows it in real time. It's off by default: turn it on when company policy or industry rules call for it.
SoftActivity Monitor and TS Monitor track file activity on local, network and USB drives: which documents users open and save, and which files they download, upload or attach to emails. The record helps detect and investigate data theft by insiders.
SoftActivity Monitor and TS Monitor record the emails employees send and receive in Microsoft Outlook, with Exchange, POP3, SMTP or IMAP accounts. In every edition, webmail such as Gmail appears as screenshots in the Websites report.
Owners and managers use the software to monitor employees' computer use during work time. IT and security teams investigate incidents. IT providers set it up for the companies they support.
A green status light doesn't tell you whether someone is working, away from a computer left on, or doing something unrelated. The reports show which it was, so you act on evidence instead of a hunch.
IT providers and MSPs install SoftActivity for the companies they support, on the client's own server or in the cloud, and can resell it at partner prices.
It depends on where your computers are and where you want the data. SoftActivity Monitor is desktop monitoring software for Windows workstations and laptops, with the data on your own server. TS Monitor, the RDS edition, records user sessions on Windows RDS and Citrix servers. SoftActivity Work runs in the cloud, so there is no server to set up. Compare the editions.
No. Our experienced engineers designed and optimized SoftActivity to use minimal CPU, memory, battery and network bandwidth. It uses about 125 MB of RAM on each monitored computer, and about 50 MB per user session on an RDS server. The free trial lets you check it on your own computers.
Yes. SoftActivity Work is cloud-based, so remote computers send their activity from anywhere with an internet connection. With SoftActivity Monitor, External Agent lets company laptops send their activity encrypted to your server when they are away from the office, with no VPN for the user.
You choose. SoftActivity runs in visible mode on any computer, or in hidden (stealth) mode on company-owned computers when users have agreed to monitoring through your company policy or other acceptable means. Check that monitoring is permitted where you operate.
To keep using SoftActivity Monitor or TS Monitor, buy a license: it gives you the full version for all the computers you license. SoftActivity Work continues on the plan you chose when you signed up, and your card is first charged when the 7 days end.
