Monitor Bandwidth Usage Per Computer

Streaming videos from Netflix can consume up to 7GB of data per hour. Employees that misuse the internet in their workplace aren’t only harming their own productivity, they also strain the available bandwidth and make network speeds slower for their coworkers.

• Reduce latency by monitoring your network for users and computers that are abusing IT infrastructure.
• Get real time visibility into how much bandwidth is being used to determine whether upgrades are truly necessary or if slow internet speeds are caused by too much bandwidth being used inappropriately.
• Detect unexpected bandwidth spikes caused by dangerous P2P file sharing programs and malicious software.

How To Check Bandwidth Usage Per Computer

With BrowseReporter’s client installed on each endpoint, network administrators can easily check bandwidth usage for each user, device, and workgroup in the organization.

• By User: Track the amount of bandwidth sent and received by each user to discover who is using the most bandwidth.
• By Computer: BrowseReporter allows you to check bandwidth usage per computer, allowing you to identify computers that may be infected with viruses.
• By Group: Users can be sorted into groups such as departments, workgroups, and other organizational units. CurrentWare supports Active Directory for easy group management.

BrowseReporter provide insights into both the upstream and downstream data usage within the network.

The bandwidth reports indicate data consumption from specific websites, providing the insights needed for discovering which commonly abused websites can be blocked to improve internet speeds.
