NetVizor was built with ease
of use being a primary concern. NetVizor is separated into two separate
entities:
- The Client
The NetVizor 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 NetVizor viewer is the tool that helps tie all the NetVizor
monitoring clients together. The viewer enumerates all workstations
on your network being monitored by 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!
NetVizor's Main Network Configurations:
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 screen

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 more 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.
Centralized Log Storage also allows for the logging of multiple
subnets not directly accessible to the viewing computer - just add
the log storage locations on the subnet gateway computers to the
viewer.
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

NetVizor has the powerful ability to categorize individual users
logged on your network, along with workstations logged. This is
useful when users may use multiple workstations during the day -
but use the same logon name to get into the network. In this case,
with centralized log storage in use, roving users will be monitored
and logs will be stored according to their username - so you can
see what did they did at anytime, regardless of what workstations
they were using. [see screen

| Centralized
Remote Administration |
Spytech NetVizor does not only focus on centralized monitoring,
but centralized administration as well. NetVizor gives you the ability
to perform remote security audits, remotely browse file systems
on any workstation being monitored by NetVizor - as well as shutdown,
restart, lock, and freeze workstations. The 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! With NetVizor,
the administrator will have the ability to remotely control what
windows are open on the remote workstation, what applications are
being used, and the option of actually viewing screen shots of the
user's desktop in realtime. [see
