I know this is probably a loaded question but is there software that can monitor the activity (not just internet usage but that would be nice) on a workstation? I’m not even sure exactly what we are looking for. We would like to monitor how long it takes a user to do tasks that are assigned to them. We don’t need the solution to track click by click but something like how long they had a Word document open or our document management system open. I know it wouldn’t be completely accurate because they could leave the app open when they go to the bathroom but it will give us a little bit of information. Some of your responses may refine what I’m looking for as well. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I use Work Examiner Pro, They have a free download and 30 day trail, not too expensive either.

Works great and will log all activity and has multiple report options.

Hello, Bigfoot,

For example, I suggested Spiceworks to track what on technical division is doing when they receive a task, we open a ticket for each one and they have to complete them before deadline assigned in case it is not possible, they have to reply to the system in order to document the case. It is working very well.

Hi

We use Spector 360. Its pretty much the most comprehensive system I am aware of.

it will distinguish between active and inactive time the user has a document, website or application open.

Whats also nice, is the dashboard is easy enough for management to use it themselves.

I´ve had great success with WorkTime Corporate from Nestersoft ( http://www.nestersoft.com ).

It will automatically track the usage, time etc of all applications on a machine. In addition It can be installed so that its invisible to the user. The customizable reporting tools included are pretty good too.

There is a major problem though with any of these tools and that is the legality of using them to monitor users. Many countries prohibit this type of monitoring as it contravenes privacy and work laws.
