Veriato Workforce Behavior Analytics

Avantages

The software is very affordable compared to similar products on the market that are quite expensive. The user interface is easy to navigate, and the information provided on potential employee threats is outstanding. I provide training and consulting services related to Insider Threat Programs, and Insider Threat Mitigation (www.insiderthreatdefense.us). I have recommended Veriato Recon and Veriato 360 to my 500+ clients. Many have purchased Veriato products and are quite please with both products.

Inconvénients

I cant find anything I don't like about Veriato products. As part of my consulting for my clients, I review various employee threat detection tools and make recommendations. Veriato products are my # 1 recommendation to my clients.

Avantages

Veriato Workforce gives an imperative remote monitoring option, and it gather the required information for solid reporting.

Inconvénients

Veriato Workforce brings a focused analytical measures, without compromise.

Avantages

Reasonably priced
Good US-based tech support

Inconvénients

Very outdated compared to peers
No user behavior analytics
Resource intensive - client side
Difficult to deploy to remote machines
Not all features work the way you'd want them to

Avantages

I think the true value of this application besides the implied protection form RansomWare is a good server side file revisioning and quick restore system. We have used this product to recover deleted files that would otherwise cause lost employee hrs. Nightly backups may be getting done but when your employee has lost a document (deleted by accident, saved overtop of the wrong file..) they spent a few hrs on, you can easily and quickly restore the file. Far faster then going though any backup/restore process.

Inconvénients

Nothing I can think of, anytime we had a slight glitch Tech support has been over helpful, including hopping on our system to just sort out things rather then just pointing me to a bunch of technobabble documents that may not apply to my exact issue like usually happens.

Avantages

Best software for monitoring PCs
You can get a clear picture of exactly what your employees are doing on their PCs

Inconvénients

Not so easy to deploy
Antivirus eats up the software.
you need to keep the software up to date.

Avantages

Veriato Investigator records everything an administrator or business owner would want to see. The best feature is the ability to play back screenshots, almost like a video!

Inconvénients

Setting up antivirus software exclusions can be difficult, but their support pages document the process very well.

Avantages

Very well priced
Small footprint on our servers
Works very well

Inconvénients

Requires a lot of work to get set up
Support can take a while at times

Avantages

The software has some really cool feature with blocking and creating snaps of files before they are change for rollback purposes.

Inconvénients

Not so easy for the tech person to have their "stuff" sitting on a protected share.
There tents to be a lot of user locking with the IT techs and service accounts which makes sense because of the downloads we do and we just store files anywhere we can.

Avantages

How easy it is to setup and the amount of data that is collected. Easy to go back and see what has been collected. All the reports are really nice as well.

Inconvénients

Adding and removing accounts, to redeploy lic you have to remove them all. Then re add them.

Avantages

i love the fact that you can monitor acitivty. I have caught 2 associated doing nepherious activities, leading to their dismissal. i woudl have otherwise not been able to.

Inconvénients

They upgraded their software about 3 years ago to the cloud. its much slopwer and the dashboard is a bit more confusing.

Avantages

The software wasn't picked up by the virus protection software, and we were able to monitor the activity from a separate computer rather than having to go to the computer being monitored to view the activity. There was a report that gave the total amount of internet usage per day and broke it down by the total time on each website which made it quick and easy to get an accurate assessment of the time being spent on non work related internet usage. When the computer being monitored was broken, customer service was helpful and assisted us in moving our license to a new computer.

Inconvénients

I believe we were only able to monitor activity on one browser (Internet Explorer?), which worked fine in our case, but could be an issue if an employee uses multiple browsers.

Avantages

When we got Veriato 360, we were mostly looking to post incident reporting when people misuse our computers or network. It does that, really well. I was surprised, and find more useful, all the other things it does. It summarizes all things going on in your network in an easy to read and understand way. We use it all the time when we plan our budget. It tells us what programs and websites people use and how much they use them. It really can put in perspective what you should be spending your money on or improving.

Inconvénients

It does not run on enough platforms. They really need an agent of some kind for iphones/android/chrome books.

Avantages

The program monitors and records the activity on the system while the employee stays unaware of the software due to its obstructiveness to the system processes. It is not cumbersome on the system.

Inconvénients

Updating the recorder version has a little issue. It will not update the recorder on the client even though you push the update. I had to push a re-installation of the recorder with the new version manually.
The product does cost more than the other products from the other companies even though the functionality and features are almost the same.

Avantages

In recent improvements to the software, I have noticed a much more intuitive deployment process. The fine-grained configuration capabilities are a great benefit in that we can really focus in on the context of interest for information gathering, allowing focused review of the employee being monitored by reducing the "noise" of unnecessary data being collected.

Inconvénients

System alerts in the management console are unclear at times, leading to significant time wasted trying to resolve the issue.

Avantages

I liked the easily viewable console, I really appreciated 2FA on the website, screen recording seemed to work properly

Inconvénients

Let's start with support. Support is abysmal currently. Maybe it was due to Covid-19 but the turn around to get a response was terrible. Ultimately I was able to get a hold of somebody higher up and his immediate attention and resolution of problems is the only reason support didn't get a 1 star. I submitted a question about Chrome and was asked what browser I was using. All that said, once it's online it seems to be running smoothly so far.

Pourquoi passer à Veriato Workforce Behavior Analytics

Avantages

I haven't used this software since version 8.5. Wow!! Lot's of improvements and it sounds like many more are in the pipeline to be delivered shortly. Things are laid out better (more logical) and the machine name licensing issue is finally being addressed. Pushing out to clients is vastly improved as well. The documentation is much better and the inclusion of help links throughout the product is much appreciated. Keep up the good work!!

Inconvénients

The machine name licensing issue... but I understand that is being re-worked so I okay with it since I know it is being addressed.

Avantages

The sign up seemed easy initially and I liked that it can be done remotely

Inconvénients

That some as simple as filing my insurance is not taken seriously. They also seem to have this system set up to try to get me to sign up without insurance. I'm not going to do that. If their system isn't taking it, then I feel I might end up holding the bag. I pay too much for insurance for it not to be able to be used.

Avantages

I like that I can see what my employees are doing and when they are doing it. How they are utilizing company time and money!

Inconvénients

It can be cumbersome and timely to install. Some of the settings are a pain but a skilled IT professional can overcome those pains.

Avantages

Easy to deploy recorder and create manual installation for remote computers. Easy layout for finding information.

Inconvénients

1) Recorders most of the times cause compatibility issues with few machines. And it is random same recorder working for one machine and not for other. Hard to troubleshoot the issues sometimes.
2) Recently one recorder update wreck the Windows boot. After installing Windows not able to boot and even not able to repair itself.
3) Never get an email for the new exclusions if it is there with the release of new recorders.

Avantages

Once setup it is easy for HR to review the items they want without assistance. Program does not affect the performance of the clients being monitored. Technical support is fantastic when an issue does arise.

Inconvénients

Getting clients configured the first time for the program can be frustrating. Getting Veriato 360 to work with AVG can be difficult. Difficulty pushing updates to computers not directly tied to domain; therefore, not always advantageous to have the latest updates.

Avantages

Stealth, easy to deploy and comprehensive.

Inconvénients

Nothing, was great software, we absolutely love it

Avantages

The Protection ..REAL LIVE PROTECTION.. and the sense of you are in control..

Inconvénients

i have not seen any product to protect workstation..if so I need to know about it,,so we can protect the workstations

Avantages

Ease of use, user friendly and quick access

Inconvénients

challenge that we cant switch system on fly

Avantages

The idea of what it could do (but never did)

Inconvénients

Cumbersome, not easy to navigate and regularly stopped working.

Avantages

I especially liked the screen shots feature. I thought the pricing was reasonable as well. Although I didn't look for a training section, I thought the software was user friendly and I was able to navigate my way just by the buttons/menus.

Inconvénients

I had a question on getting right to the screenshot feature. I would also like to have had a way to narrow down my viewing time instead of going through the Refresh screen and then putting in my dates. There may be another way but I didn't research that further.
