User Activity Productivity Monitoring

Understanding how company technology is being used can help organizations improve security, productivity, compliance, and technology planning.

ProCirrus User Activity Monitoring provides centralized reporting across managed endpoints, giving authorized administrators and managers visibility into website activity, application usage, active and idle time, login activity, and other user activity.

What Our User Activity Monitoring Service Does

A lightweight agent installed on supported endpoints collects activity information and makes it available through centralized dashboards and reports.

The service can provide visibility into:

  • Website activity, including sites visited and time spent

  • Application usage and active time by application

  • Active and idle computer time

  • User login and session activity

  • Bandwidth and resource usage

  • Online services and web applications being accessed

  • Activity trends by user, department, or group

This information can be reviewed at an organization-wide level or narrowed to specific users or groups when additional detail is required.

Website and Application Reporting

User Activity Monitoring provides detailed reporting on how websites and applications are being used.

Organizations can see which applications employees use most frequently, how much active time is spent in those applications, and which web services are being accessed from managed systems.

This can help identify:

  • Frequently used applications

  • Software that may be licensed but rarely used

  • Unapproved web applications or services

  • Changes in technology usage over time

  • Unusual or unexpected activity

Active and Idle Time

The service can distinguish between active computer use and periods of inactivity.

This provides another layer of visibility into endpoint usage and can help organizations better understand work patterns across remote, hybrid, and office-based users.

Active and idle time should be viewed as operational information rather than as a standalone measure of employee performance, since legitimate work may occur away from the computer.

Screenshot Monitoring

When greater visibility is required, screenshot monitoring can also be enabled for selected users or circumstances.

Screenshots can provide additional context during:

  • Security investigations

  • Policy reviews

  • Internal audits

  • Compliance investigations

  • Suspected misuse of company systems

Screenshot monitoring can be limited or disabled based on an organization's internal policies and monitoring requirements.

Automated Reports and Alerts

Activity information does not need to be reviewed manually each day.

Reports can be scheduled and delivered automatically to designated administrators or managers, while alerts can help identify activity that may require additional review.

This allows organizations to maintain ongoing visibility without continuously monitoring a reporting console.

Common Uses

ProCirrus User Activity Monitoring can support:

  • Workforce and technology utilization reporting

  • Software-license optimization

  • Acceptable-use policy verification

  • Remote and hybrid workforce visibility

  • Security
