Publisher's Description
e-Surveiller is a powerful user-activity monitoring, logging, and management software package. You can monitor the activities of computer users on standalone computers, on a local area network and on remote computers across the Internet. You view the screens of monitored users on a LAN or across the Internet in real-time. User-activity logs are also periodically transferred, uploaded, or emailed to you for analysis.

It also can't save screen shots automatically; it only lets you view the screen in real time.
When viewing a remote computer's screen in "real time" (actually never more than 2 fps), it cannot stretch/shrink the image--so if the resolutions don't match, you have to constantly scroll.
It also cannot save a history of sites viewed in a browser (I do not count keeping track of title bar text as tracking web browsing history).
Logs cannot be exported to any other format (CSV, XLS, HTML, etc.). The ONLY way to view them is in e-Surveiller's own log viewer.
There is no way to exclude users from monitoring. So, if you use the computer(s) being monitored, prepare to be monitored yourself.
There is no way to exclude things from being logged. So, prepare to see billions of meaningless messages about TEMP folders being updated and nonsense like that. (This makes it easy to miss the things you actually DO want to see in the logs.)
Every time you receive logs, a popup appears over the tray. If your monitor is in sleep mode, this popup will wake it up, and bring the monitor out of sleep mode. You cannot disable this popup.
The monitor process is not hidden, and can be easily spotted and/or terminated by savvy users.
So tell us again how this is the "best"?

Better than the rest? Oh sure... First of all, it's a Visual Basic application that installs and registers ten billion lovely VB supporting files on your system.
The interface is extremely clunky--both overly complex, non-intuitive, and limiting. And how's about that nag that appears every minute or so during the trial?
It doesn't let you view a list of running processes (sorry, application titles are not the same thing), doesn't let you invoke system commands such as locking the computer or logging a user off... Doesn't present ANYTHING in a nice, easy-to-access format the way the better ones do.
Want to view JUST keystrokes in real time? You can do that with other software, but not e-Surveiller. With e-Surveiller, you have to let the keystrokes be logged, then download the log (and you better do so before the user shuts the computer off, or it crashes, or something similar), then hunt down the keystrokes in the log viewer.
Want to send a message to the user? Again, others can do it, but not e-Surveiller.
People like it because...drumroll please...it's CHEAP! I wish people would start including OTHER criteria when rating software.

It's better than the rest of the pack.
It seemed complicated initially, but with the aid of the user guides at http://www.e-surveiller.com/help/ I was able to set it up smoothly.
Great Job!!

This program is great.It's very easy to use interphase is another big plus.The report of what went on in my computer that was mailed to me,was a little difficult to put together,overall it does what it says.I'll recommend it to anyone that wants to monitor what's going on in the office,home computer,in this time of kidnapings here and there,parents can monitor who their kids are communicating with on the internet.
