Internet Monitoring -
Most Internet
Monitoring products do not capture how long users are
actually using the Internet. Many just report what
URLs are visited by users and how long the were on a URL.
This can be very misleading.
For example:
- If an
user has instant messaging opened on their desktop, can
you find out the actual time the user is actually typing
(using the software) compared to the time it resides
inactive on the desktop?
- If the
user has multiple browser sessions opened on the
desktop, can you obtain the actual time the browser was
actually in use?
- If the
user seems to be using the email for mainly personal
use, can you tell how log the email software was been
used?
In
addition to providing you will all the URLs visited,
Resource Monitor™ will supply you with factual information
to decide if your users are abusing the Internet.
Knowing the actual time, verse only where they visited, is
critical information that Resource Monitor™ will provide
to your organization.

Internet Monitoring -
Many products force
you to purchase an annual license fee for updates to a
filtering and blocking database. With Resource
Monitor, there is no annual fee.
Most people
will not visit improper URLs when they know they are being
monitored so why purchase expensive filtering databases
when they are not needed?
Resource Monitor will tell you exactly, by category, the
URLs that were visited and how long they used their
browser or instant messaging. If you still need
filtering or blocking, you can enable this feature within
Resource Monitor.

Software Licensing - Are
you paying too much for software licenses?
Resource Monitor can analyze, on a per system basis, if
software is being under utilized. By using this
data, you can accurately cost justify the correct number
of licenses to purchase.
According to Gartner research:
"Through 2003, enterprises that fail to integrate software
usage and inventory data to manage their software assets
will over-buy licenses for 60 percent of their portfolio
and be out of compliance on 30 percent of their
portfolio."
