REFOG Personal Monitor

I`m about to share my experience of using REFOG Personal Monitor. In our organization, we use various methods of work-time management. One of them, a daily report, was our best achievement so far. Still, I was unable to accurately calculate the time needed by our employees to finish particular tasks. REFOG Personal Monitor looked worth a try. Although the application can be in a hidden mode, we let know our employees that we installed it. The employees and office managers were not upset about it. They obviously were not aware of the possibilities of REFOG Personal Monitor.

After a week I have received all the logs gathered by REFOG Personal Monitor and imported them into my spreadsheet. I grouped data by application title and calculated totals. Then I applied simple rules to discard the time spent on useless activities, etc. Then we held a meeting and talked about the issues that had been unveiled. This by itself has mproved the effectiveness of our organization by up to 20%. I have never used REFOG Personal Monitor since then. There`s no need to use it again. Just the fact that all their activities is logged lets our employees work more effectively. That`s my story of how a few dollars invested in a small product can give you significant results.

Here is how REFOG Personal Monitor works. The software runs in a stealth mode. It`s not listed in the runnig processes list and cannot be terminated by the user. REFOG Personal Monitor stores all paths of applications running, titles of windows opened, all user`s typed keys and captures screenshots. The product also tracks the Windows Clipboard and URLs of web sites opened in a Web browser. Logs can be automatically sent to an email or uploaded to an FTP folder on your server. The product can monitor how your employees use their work time and to monitor all textual data typed by them.
