| WebWatcher |
WebWatcher is head and shoulders above the rest. In test after test, with a few exceptions, it never let us down. It made us feel like we could see everything, and amazingly, it allows you to monitor your child or employee's computer and smartphone from the Internet, as all of the information from both monitored devices is accessible from your own private, password-protected website. The importance of this feature simply can not be overstated... (read more)

The best monitoring and filtering software we have tested. It allows you to monitor a computer from the web so that you do not have to keep checking from the computer you are monitoring. |
Has some great features that offer lots of control but best for computer savvy buyers only. |
Does all of the things that you would expect Parental Control software to do, and can do it remotely, but ultimately, IAmBigBrother falls a bit short of its more robust competition. |
By far the best of the stand alone filtering applications we reviewed. If you also need to monitor activity, however, this product is not for you. |
Recorded Data is stored on the computer you are monitoring which can impact the computers' performance and makes checking recorded data very awkward (as you will need to access the computer you are monitoring to retrieve the recorded information each and every time). But if that is not a problem, this is a solid choice. |

Unfortunately, it does not take screenshots and it emails all recorded data (which quickly make your email box unmanageable) rather than let you view data from an organized interface. Only recommended if you get this in addition to SpectorPro so that you can also use an interface, but this makes the combination very expensive. |
While it has some nifty timer capabilities that allow you to lock down computer/Internet access based on times, CyberSitter does little more than straight filtration/blocking. |
NetNanny is very limited in its ability to monitor and as such should only be considered by people whose only interest is in trying to block the bad stuff on the Internet. |
CyberPratrol main focus is filtering/blocking. While they include some limited monitoring functionality, they are clearly Parental Control software rather than a full blown monitoring application. |
Even a cursory inspection of this product reveals that while they may be strong in the anti-virus arena, they really have not brought much to the table that will truly help parents. |
