Web Filtering

 Restricting internet access is a core component of many organization’s productivity and security toolkit. Unfortunately, while Veriato has robust insider threat monitoring capabilities, it lacks any sort of internet control features to proactively prevent access to resources.

CurrentWare’s web filtering and internet security tools help businesses maintain a secure and productive online environment. With customizable filters, you can block access to inappropriate or non-work-related websites, reducing distractions and safeguarding sensitive data.

Additionally, CurrentWare’s web filtering features prevent employees from accessing malicious sites, helping to protect your organization from cybersecurity threats. By offering detailed reports on web activity, CurrentWare gives you the insights needed to ensure compliance, improve productivity, and minimize risks associated with internet usage in the workplace.

Data Loss Prevention

Protecting sensitive data is a top priority for businesses, making data loss prevention (DLP) solutions essential for safeguarding against data breaches and insider threats.

Both Veriato and CurrentWare provide capabilities to mitigate data leakage, however, Veriato’s focus on activity monitoring has left a DLP blind spot with the exclusion of core features such as USB restriction.

CurrentWare’s DLP capabilities include USB control to prevent data leaks to removable media devices, web category filtering to block web-based data egress points, and user activity monitoring to identify high-risk user behavior such as attempts to use blocked peripheral devices.

CurrentWare’s data loss prevention (DLP) tools help safeguard sensitive information from theft and leaks. With features like device control, file transfer monitoring, and real-time alerts, you can prevent data breaches and ensure compliance with industry regulations. By restricting the transfer of sensitive data via USB drives, external storage, or cloud services, CurrentWare minimizes the risk of data theft.

In my nearly 40 years in the IT business I’ve worked with a lot of support teams. I really appreciate CurrentWare going the extra mile to help me get the most out of the product. They’ve definitely outweighed any of the other competitors that I’ve looked at.

Veriato Employee Monitoring Software Reviews

✔️ Veriato Pros

Robust Employee Monitoring

The ability to swing between screenshots, keywords and URL for suspicious insider activity – as well as productivity based alerts for time theft review is very beneficial.

Source: G2 Review, 2023

Veriato captures everything, which is great. The Dashboard used to access the data, on the other hand, is not so great. It’s confusing and takes quite a bit of practice to get used to. Powerful tool, but not easy to use.

Source: Gartner Review, 2019

The user interface is easy to navigate, and the information provided on potential employee threats is outstanding.

Source: Capterra Review, 2019

Pros: The ability to record the screen and have forensic evidence of what happened on the PC. If we have any issues with telecommuters not being productive we can see what is going on and discuss the reality with the team member. There is no lying out of the proof this provides.

🟡 Veriato Mixed Reviews

Customer Support

Looks like Veriato outsource their support services and the service has been downgraded. Before when you call the support they will transfer your call in a few minutes.

Now you have to wait for a call back. Sometime they may call or email after a day later.

Never able to talk a support after open tickets in the last few time. Searching for a replacement to switch their product. Very bad services.

Source: Trustpilot Review, 2020

I have to say our experience with Veriato was the worst I’ve ever encountered. I don’t even think the software works and the support is invisible. Just hoping we can get our money back for our client.

Source: Reddit Comment, 2021

Support is easy to get ahold of and is always helpful.

Source: Capterra Review, 2019

Great initial support from CSR, made the implementation smooth and efficient. Did a very good job going through all the features and settings where I did not have any questions at the end.

❌ Veriato Cons

Technical Issues

We started installing this software on the computers for our 100 employees. In every case, it caused their computers to crash, and or lose significant performance. We tried working with their tech support to no avail. We have not been able to use it at all and they will not refund our money. Stay away!

Source: Trustpilot Review, 2020

They brought on their “head engineer” and he spent over 4 hours trying to make it work before hanging up because he was now off work. I called back and the next support agent did practically the same thing with no results.

When I asked for my money back because they couldn’t even install it on our computers, they blamed it on one of my test computers not being on the network (They told me to use it) then stole my $1800.

Source: Trustpilot Review, 2021

Our IT Support company could not get it deployed to our computers. It interfered with our digital security such that individual PCs crashed once it was installed.

Our IT Support people reported that “Due to the systems locking up and performance loss we had to remove the software.

The staff couldn’t even perform daily duties with software installed.” When we notified Veriato of the situation, only weeks after we bought it, they said they would not provide a refund.

Source: Capterra Review, 2020

We had a lot of issues with Veriato causing performance issues on workstations and eventually the server software had a catastrophic failure and total loss of all data. After restarting from scratch it just didn’t work properly and we scrapped the solution
