Four Kinds of Team, One Source of Truth
Remote & Hybrid Teams
See how work gets done across teams without being too intrusive. Assess employees on their output, not their presence.
Scaling Companies
Your productivity programme should grow with your headcount, not buckle under it. Scheduled reports land on their own, so nobody loses a Friday afternoon chasing numbers.
Performance Reviews
Reviews become easier, fairer, and more just when you have data as evidence. Swap assumptions with clear, objective insights.
Regulated Industries
Stay audit & compliance- ready with activity trails, especially in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and legal.
Fits the Stack and the Policy You Already Have
On-Premises, Cloud or Hybrid
Choose a deployment method that suits your existing infrastructure- host on-premise, host on the CurrentWare cloud, or go hybrid. Stay in complete control of your data residency, unlike a cloud-only infrastructure.
Stealth or Transparent Agent
Experience privacy-first monitoring controls: Monitor only what’s required and when required. CurrentWare is configurable per team and per department.
SIEM and Security Tooling
Enter activity data into your existing security stack through SIEM integration, and easily pair it with web filtering, device control and DLP from the same console.
Scheduled Reporting
Schedule productivity reports emails to team managers, so the right insight reaches the respective decision makers without anyone logging into a console.
Among organizations that don’t restrict internet activity, 58% of employees spend the equivalent of 26 workdays per year on websites unrelated to their job
With CurrentWare’s internet activity monitoring and restriction tools you can prevent the abuse of distracting websites.
How CurrentWare’s Productivity Monitoring Fares Against Cloud-Only Tools
