Advantages:
Very secure, functional and easy-to-use monitoring tool.
Drawbacks:
Available in English only, not perfect at logging both sides of chat conversations.
Summary:
One of the best monitoring software among those we have tested. A flexible product that not only can be used both for home and remote monitoring, but also very easy to use and configure because of its intuitive interface. Recommended to absolutely all the groups of our visitors: from beginners to professionals.
Installation & Interface
The Stealth Edition of SpyAgent is very easy to install — you just launch a pre-configured installer and the program is installed within seconds. So, it is basically nothing to review here.
As for the interface it is really good. Absolutely everything is grouped — intercepted information is divided into general and internet-related, each of them has its own sub-sections. As a result you do not need to scroll the entire log-file trying to understand where the information you actually need is — everything is done within few clicks! The same situation with program configuration. Need to configure remote sending? Go to "Remote Log Delivery" Section. Want to configure the screenshots-making? "Screen Spy" section is ready to help! Interface of SpyAgent is really clear and easy to use!
So, let's review SpyAgent according to our testing categories.
OS Support
According to the website of Spytech Software and Design, Inc their flagship product supports all the operation systems listed on our website. Our team has tested it on Windows 7 and Windows XP — the software worked perfectly on both systems without any glitches. So Spytech SpyAgent Stealth Edition receives 80 points out of 80 in this section. Brilliant!/p>
Security
The results in this section are also almost perfect — the software can be accessed by both keyword and hotkey combination, can be removed on a pre-specified date and is password protected. As shown in the table a user can also configure not only warning message to be shown or not, but also the text of this message. SpyAgent doesn't receive points for "Invisible program folder after installation" as its folder can be pretty easily found by users that do not have any special knowledge of PC security. So, 70 out of 80.
Monitoring
One more section for Spytech SpyAgent Stealth Edition to show great results. The software records all the types of keystrokes typed, system log on/off and inactivity time, documents printed, mouse clicks, clipboard content and started applications. It also has all the possible functions related to screenshots-making implemented. User can configure how often to make screenshots, what quality they should be, whether to make screenshots when user clicks a mouse button and whether it should be the screenshots of the entire desktop or active window only. The only fly in the ointment in this section is inability of SpyAgent to intercept the logon password and far from perfect file-activity monitoring. The software can log opening, creating and removal of the files, but not their copying or renaming. In total — 241 out of 300 points in this section.
Online Monitoring
New section — almost perfect results as usual. SpyAgent perfectly monitors URLs visited in all the 5 browsers listed in our comparison. The same situation with emails interception — the text of both outgoing and incoming email messages can be read in the log-files. SpyAgent also has a very handy feature, that in our comparison table is called "Screenshots of visited web-sites". Unfortunately the interception of chat conversations made in messengers is not as perfect as all the described above. While SpyAgent logs both sides of chat conversations made in ICQ, Yahoo IM and Windows Live messengers, only one-side of AIM or Skype chats will be found in the log files. 159 out of 193 points in total.
Reports
Finally the perfect section for SpyAgent! This software has absolutely all the features of this section implemented! The reports can be sent via email, LAN, FTP or saved to a flash drive. User can configure them to show the information in lots of ways. By the way we must say that Spytech SpyAgent has very many options for reports configuration — not only those present in our comparison table, but lots of others — starting from their Top 10 reports and ending with very handy "Cross-Reference Logs" feature. The last one allows you to find all the information related to the selected event from the all the types of intercepted information. 150 out of 150 points.
Other
Last section in our review could also give SpyAgent maximum points if it had been translated to other languages except English. The rest of the features are as usual present. SpyAgent has a monitoring scheduler, can restrict both pre-specified websites visiting and applications starting, and can be configured to start monitoring when a keyword from a pre-specified list appears. In total — 62 points out of 66.
The Bottom Line
Spytech SpyAgent Stealth Edition is one of the best monitoring software among those we have tested. It is a flexible product that not only can be used both for home and remote monitoring, but also very easy to use and configure because of its intuitive interface. We recommend it to absolutely all the groups of our visitors: from beginners to professionals!
