21 January 2009 - Track Internet Usage. Report and Analyse your users internet activity by viewing access logs by user or PC.
BrowseReporter is a powerful web-monitoring tool that allows you to monitor the browsing activity of your employees or students. It is a non-intrusive tool, running in the background without the users knowing that their systems are being monitored.
BrowseReporter captures the URLs of every visited web site through Internet Explorer and FireFox. For remote surveillance of networked PCs the information can be sent silently to the central database server. In stealth mode, BrowseReporter does not show up in the system tray, task bar, or task list. It allows companies and individuals to track the surfing habits of all PCs and users easily and invisibly.
BrowseReporter includes a powerful reporting utility. Both tabular and graphical reports can be generated. Reporting is available at the executive level, which can further be drilled down to the lowest detail. Urls deemed to be a threat to the organization can readily be identified from the reports. In addition, users spending too much company time browsing the net can also be isolated.

What's New in BrowseReporter 3.0 ?
Email Reports
Through the Email Reports feature, the BrowseReporter reports can automatically be generated and emailed to the manger/administrator. This eliminates having to rely on the manual process of creating reports. Simply create the profiles of the specific reports. Then create the schedules. At the scheduled date/time, the reports of the most current data will be generated and emailed.
Schedule URL Tracking
Through the URL Tracking Scheduler, you can schedule the time ranges when the Internet activity should be collected. Browsing activity outside of these schedules will not be collected. This also helps to maintain the database size. For example, managers may only be interested to track browsing activity during business hours only.
Bandwidth Monitoring
Bandwidth monitoring has become an integral aspect of network management. Isolating abusive users who upload or download large files can significantly decrease network congestion.
Through BrowseReporter's bandwidth monitoring utility, you can track the traffic on a i) per User or ii) per computer basis. Monitor both the download and upload bandwidth consumption. The bandwidth report identifies offensive users or computers with excessive traffic activity.
Export URLs to BrowseControl
The BrowseReporter reports provided detailed information of URLs activity, time of visiting these sites and the duration of these visits.
Once the offensive sites have been identified, organizations may need to take action on this activity. One common course of action is to take this list and export it to the blocked list of your Internet blocking software, eg BrowseControl.
Alternatively, these reports are also beneficial in identifying sites that are relevant to your business. In this case, the URLs can be exported to the Allowed List of your Internet blocking tool. The URLs can be exported directly to the BrowseControl software. This list is exported to the "URL Filter List" of BrowseControl. In addition, the URLs can also be exported to a txt file.
Remote Screen Capturing
Track employee/student activity, by capturing screenshots of their PCs on regular intervals. Identify users who are spending excessive amounts of company/school time on unauthorized sites, chats, games etc.
