We give you the real story behind the computer monitoring software - letting you quickly make a decision based on facts, not the empty hype of the manufacturers. We have tested every software program on this website thoroughly. We will tell you what we liked and what we did not. Then you can decide which, if any software is right for you. Our Top Pick 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 Full Review) WebWatcher supports multiple devices such as PC, Mac, Android & BlackBerry. Because of its unique web-based approach, WebWatcher allows you to monitor multiple devices from the same web based interface.

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.   Appropriate for Monitoring Very Young Children, Tweens & Teens, Employees Children Tweens & Teens Very young children, Tweens & Teens Children Remote Monitoring Be sure to read Remote Access and Why It's Important Complete Remote Access Very Limited Limited No No Stealth Be sure to read The Truth About Stealth and Undetectability Very Good Fair Good None Good Internet Filtering / Blocking Capabilities Be sure to read The Truth About Blocking Strong Weak None Strong Weak Ease of Use Easy Moderate Easy Easy Easy Reliability High High Moderate High High Designed to Monitor Multiple Computers Be sure to read The Truth About Monitoring Multiple Computers Yes No No No No MAC Support Yes No No No Yes P2P Blocking Yes No No Yes Yes Scheduled Monitoring Yes Yes No No Yes Phone Support Yes No No No Limited to 2 calls Email Support Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Live Chat Support Yes No No No Yes Price $99.95 $69.95 $29.95 ($150/year for Remote Viewing) $39.99 $99.95     eBlaster CyberSitter NetNanny CyberPatrol Norton Internet Security   Rank 6th Place 7th Place 8th Place 9th Place 10th Place Overall Rating (out of 10) 7.3/10 6.5/10 6.2/10 6.0/10 4.0/10 Overall Comments 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.   Appropriate for Monitoring Tweens & Teens Very Young Children Very Young Children Very Young Children Very Young Children Remote Monitoring Be sure to read Remote Access and Why It is Important Email Reports Only Email Reports Only Email Reports Only Email Reports Only No Stealth Be sure to read The Truth About Stealth and Undetectability Good Fair None Weak None Internet Filtering / Blocking Capabilities Be sure to read The Truth About Blocking Weak Strong Strong Strong Strong Ease of Use Moderate Easy Easy Easy Moderate Reliability High High High High High Designed to Monitor Multiple Computers Be sure to read The Truth About Monitoring Multiple Computers No No No No No MAC Support Yes No No No No P2P Blocking Yes Yes Yes No No Scheduled Monitoring No Yes Yes No No Phone Support Limited to 2 calls Yes No Yes Yes Email Support Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Live Chat Support Yes No No No No Price $99.95 $39.95 $39.95/year $39.95 $69.99
