Feature	Kickidler	Teramind
Visual monitoring	Visual monitoring can be considered a universal tool that helps supervisors see up to 1 000 screens of their employees in real time. Since the software records the screens of the employees’ PCs, the video playback speed can be customized, so that all the data for each day will be presented to you in mere minutes. You can make screenshots of the videos and export the entire videos as well as keylogger data to your desktop. This becomes especially handy for remote employee monitoring.	Teramind provides the options of both short videos and screenshots. As with Kickidler, videos show user activity as it’s happening or after something has occurred with video-quality session recordings that can be used to review a security or compliance event or analyze both productive and unproductive behaviors. Unlike Kickidler, Teramind presents the sequence of videos when the user was active and in a separate tab presents random screenshots from desktop.
Reporting	Kickidler’s reporting features best reveal team’s productivity and become essential for both business owners and HR specialists. Supervisors can see details of each employee’s day separately, or they can download the data and use it in XSL format. All the breaks, unproductive time periods and productive activity are clearly presented via both visual graphs and dynamic tables. With productivity reports, managers can easily identify employees with the best and worst productivity ratings and, by comparing KPI results, they can later make appropriate decisions. Violation reports are sent to the supervisors or to the information security specialists in order to detect and prevent data loss occurrences. With reports on applications, managers receive information on all apps that have been used even if that app was opened for a mere second. The ‘Report on working hours’ and the ‘Timesheet’ report help supervisors monitor discipline of their employees and identify the ways to avoid any potential issues.	Teramind provides data-driven solutions, which means that users can make any action a KPI. Just like Kickidler, Teramind provides opportunity to track and measure productivity of not only individual employees but the departments as well. Teramind also provides an option to apply rules to custom app usage in order to quantify behaviors individual to specific needs of organization.

Similar to Kickidler, Teramind provides functionality of email monitoring, keystroke logging, as well as monitoring of any actions from file transfers to online meetings.

With the help of such data-driven analysis, businesses can increase ROI by 15%. In addition to all its valuable features and reports, Kickidler also provides detailed information on employee rating based on their overall performance.	With Teramind, supervisors can access data on productivity to determine if it is stagnant across the whole organization or if it’s just a matter of a few underperforming employees. The software creates customized detailed metrics to detect if workflows and apps in-use are hurting or helping overall productivity. It also identifies high- and low-performing employees and departments, which then helps get to the bottom of things.
DLP	Kickidler helps you easily detect insider threats by collecting data on violations committed by employees, such as unauthorized access to confidential information, for example. Kickidler has the ability to detect instances of employee cheating by recording videos of their every action at the PCs.
