[itdiscuss] SpectorSoft

[Steve Huffman]

As a sidelight, it will give you so much info that we have had contests
in our weekly 'What's Up' email to staff to guess who had the most email
last month, who made the most keystrokes (believe it or not it was our
Sr. Pastor), who spent the most time on the Internet, etc. The winner
got to go first at our weekly coffee break for food. :-)

Steve, what sort of pricing were you able to receive.  Any charitable
discounts?

I missed the podcast today due to a problem, but in listening to the
recording I haven't heard any discussion on web monitoring. We use Open
DNS on our public access, but our Internal network is not blocked at
all. However, we do use SpectorSoft monitoring software in stealth mode
on every system. Although it is run in stealth mode all employees are
aware of it and we tell all new employees we do monitor. Even laptops
are recorded while off the network and dumps to the DB on the next
login, so we are protected even with laptops of the network.

 

When we first installed it we found and avoided a situation that could
have damaged the ministry. I regularly get informed by users when
something pops by accident or a pastor has to do some research that
could trigger it.

 

We have 50 users and have had no problems with this method. Any
thoughts?

 

Sidelight... one incident was when I got a panic call from one of our
female child ministry leaders. She had googled breastplate while trying
to research roman armor and got some other stuff :-)
