We needed online browser of monitors of employees to be able to always see who's busy with what at the working computer. After short search we've decided on the Kickidler program, because we considered it the most convenient program for this purpose. All employees were warned in advance that such program will be installed. During the time we've been using Kickidler our employees began to mess around less and, hence, work more. Another useful effect of this program – the Internet stopped freezing, because employees don't watch YouTube in workplace any more. I consider Kickidler a successful purchase.
The main plus of the Kickidler program is a convenient intuitive interface for watching the screens of workers in real time. 40 people work in our company, we observe 25 employees. Naturally, if you place all 25 screens on one monitor, you can't properly see who's doing what. In Kickidler you can make several tabs, almost like in a browser with different departments, and switch between them. There is an option to view the history of actions, but we rarely use it, essentially we've installed this program to online monitor the employees.
We didn't find minuses, even though we use incomplete functionality of the program.
Hi Denis, Thanks for your review! We are glad that you consider Kickidler a successful purchase. We are hope that you will try other features of our software.

We were having issues to monitor employees on ubuntu desktops and there were no other players in market for linux based systems - with some research we found out Kickidler as the perfect solution we were looking for - and it works exact we wanted
Kickidler is available on Ubuntu, windows and Mac.other players are not providing for Linux / ubuntu where Kickidler allows you to remotely monitor real time screens of employees
Kickidler has no viewer for Mac - this is missing but it is not a showstopper at all
Hi Ashish, Thank you for your feedback. I guess you are mixed up - we have Viewer on Mac, but no Server.

For a team of 6, it is just enough what you need if you have enough tech knowledge to set up. Everything is well documented and helpful. This is the last software you will try to use with your team. I am currently using this software as my daily driver.
I can monitor 6 users for free with no restriction on other than video recording and remote controlling. For a startup and small company like me, it is important to manage your paying time efficiently. I can't afford to pay my team for wasting time on social media. Now with this free plan, I can manage all my members and see what they are doing on the office premises. I just need to monitor my team members activity which it does really well. The keylogger and screenshot with video recording these features are too much for me but nice to have at my disposal.
The setup needs more effort than normal. It needs a pc to set up as a server. When I tried to log in it didn't respond. I have to use a VPN to reach the server, which is a bad thing. Password is sent to my email, as I am using the company email and some of my members have access to the email address it is easy to have leaked, I have to use my personal address for registration.
Hello Debjit, Thanks for your review! We are glad that you are satisfied with our program.

Rough start but after [sensitive content hidden] emailed me we got it sorted out.
The screen recording was excellent and love you can adjust to playback without having to view every second.
Not the easiest setup but can fumble around to figure it out. Not extremely difficult. The playback bar I wish it displayed when user is active or not like a security camera. It would make it easier to find what they are doing,

Monitored 30 of their employees during the month. Since it was for As a result, we saw that one of the employees, who never had free time, turns out to be spending most of it on the news pages. But he is not alone. Based on work with Kickidler, decisions were made to change functional responsibilities and dismiss some employees. I highly recommend this program to companies that are interested in the efficient use of working time.
It is very convenient that you can configure which of the office programs, including the Internet, should be taken into account as an employee's useful time. At the same time setting can be individual for each.
Individual setting takes a lot of time. As in order to understand what is necessary for work, I had to browse all the sites that the employee visited.
Olga, thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that our program has helped you. We developed the function of productivity assessment of the employees based on the fact that in different departments productive and unproductive resources can vary a lot. But we have solid plans of categorizing apps and websites.

For me, remote monitoring is a gem. It is really a good idea to keep a track of logging all the copies made in the media production house. Monitoring helps my company to see the unauthorized access of data in our network, which helps us to stop data compromises.
As we provide live broadcast services it is really hard to monitor all our high-end PC's manually and I use it on one of my Live broadcasting machines and really gave me peace of mind. I can now see the report and usage of the software. Now it is very simple for me to check my user is checking FB or playing games on pc in work time. It is really essential to see that our investment is being utilised in an intended way.
Well, I still have some issue of crashing on ryzen machine where intel workes fine. I hope they work well in the future with ryzen ass they are very affordable but powerful pcs.
Thank you for your feedback! I will send a ticket to developers about problems with Ryzen.

The reports are easy to access and understand. The automated notifications on violations save lots of time. The productivity analysis and rating is being used by HR.
Interface of the report section seemed to be dull but now they are improving it.

Un producto bien enfocado pero que tiene un importante margen de mejora, sobre todo a la hora de la puesta en marcha
La cantidad de datos que aporta el software es muy importante, con ciertas funciones bien desarrolladas, como la monitorización de la actividad en tiempo real
La complejidad de puesta en marcha y parametrización

I like analytics about how my workers use their software. Which programs are in use and what they are doing on work
Sometimes uptime is high but probably it is because of our server. We are on support line now. Support is very good and quite operative by the way.
