Spytech NetVizor was built with ease of use being a primary concern. Spytech NetVizor is separated into two separate entities:

• The Client - The Spytech NetVizor Corporate Network Monitoring Software client does the actual "work". The client is installed on each PC on your network and from there it records all relevant PC user activities, performs content filtering duties, and remote administration handling.
  
  
• The Viewer - The Spytech NetVizor viewer is the tool that helps tie all the Spytech NetVizor monitoring clients together. The viewer enumerates all workstations on your network being monitored by Spytech NetVizor - as well as roving users being tracked. All you have to do is select a user or workstation and click the "View User Activity" button to view the user's activities on your network!

Spytech NetVizor's Main Network Configurations:

• Localized Log Storage
• Centralized Log Storage
• Centralized Monitoring of Multiple Network Subnets
• Roving User Tracking
• Centralized Remote Administration

In Localized Storage Mode (the default log storage mode), logs are stored on each monitored PC. The Viewer can be used to view these logs from one central PC - removing any footwork involved in viewing logs across the network. Localized log storage uses less network bandwidth than centralized log storage, but does not offer the beneficial archiving and roving user tracking that centralized log storage has. [see screenshot]

Spytech NetVizor can be configured to store logs on a centralized server or computer on a network. This ability is beneficial in that logs are all stored on one PC for easy backup and retrieval. No logs are stored on workstations locally for users to discover, or stumble upon. While centralized log storage uses minimal bandwidth on the network to store logs, log storage is much more organized and secure. No logs are saved or copied on the local workstation being monitored.

Like localized log storage no footwork is needed to view logs - as the viewer will display each workstation logged, as well as roving users, from one central location. [see screenshot]

Centralized Log Storage also allows for the logging of multiple subnets not directly accessible to the viewing computer simply by adding the log storage locations on the subnet gateway computers to the viewer. In the example below, all Spytech NetVizor clients store logs on a shared log storage location at the head of their subnet. The Spytech NetVizor viewer software can then load all of these logs directly from each shared folder on the head subnet computers it has access to. [see screenshot]

Spytech NetVizor does not only focus on centralized monitoring, but centralized administration as well. Spytech NetVizor gives you the ability to perform remote security audits, remotely browse file systems on any workstation being monitored by Spytech NetVizor - as well as shutdown, restart, lock, and freeze workstations. Spytech NetVizor's remote administration features allow all activity logs to be viewed remotely, as well as specific system information - such as open network ports, network connections, temporary internet histories, and more! Spytech NetVizor gives the administrator the ability to remotely control what windows are open on the remote workstation, what applications are being used, and the option of actually viewing screenshots of the user's desktop in real-time. Spytech NetVizor can also show you a desktop screenshot of every workstation on your network in a tiled display with a single click. [see screenshot]
