More than 50,000 businesses worldwide use SpectorSoft products to monitor employee activity, prevent data loss, adhere to compliance regulations, and recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in productivity losses. These are some of their stories:

• Is Spector 360 worth it? Definitely! It's easy to use and set up...

  "Monitoring is pretty much standard business practice now. All you have to do is show employees the reports — evidence of what Spector 360 detects and the extent of it — and work habits change for the better. Spector 360 is great for recognizing and isolating user activity, and being able to inform managers how much work is being done and how much play. Is Spector 360 worth it? Definitely! It's easy to use and set up. I like the reports and all the information it provides, and it's an all-in-one package. It does a lot of things and does them well."

  Norm RatliffInformation Systems DirectorCibola County, New Mexico

• Everyone knows I will learn of anything inappropriate through immediate email alerts

  “Spector CNE has been so effective at reducing personal time spent on the computer and increasing productivity that we’ve been able to reduce staff by 19%, saving 18% in wages and benefits. I can’t say enough good things about Spector CNE. It’s power without micromanagement. There are no weather checks, there’s no personal banking, and no downloading of sound clips... we just don’t have the junk coming onto the network that we used to. There’s a real awareness throughout the facility. Everyone knows I will learn of anything inappropriate through immediate email alerts. As far as I’m concerned just that deterrent factor makes the product 100% worth it. Overall it is a great product.”

  Daniel AndersonSummit Center (a $16M medical facility serving northern Arizona)

• I can’t believe the difference Spector 360 has made

  “Like most businesses, we need to cut costs... to be lean and mean. Spector 360 is helping us achieve that goal. The screen snapshots proved exactly what we thought... even worse. I can’t believe the difference Spector 360 has made. Now I don’t see ANY abuse. It’s a huge change. The abusive emailing and the web-surfing have just STOPPED.

  I especially like the ability to install multiple Dashboards so my three managers can use Spector 360 to monitor their own departments. Of my managers, one is very computer savvy… one is in the middle… and the other could just as well live without computers. But all find the Dashboard very user-friendly. I wish some – make that ALL – of our systems worked as well as Spector 360.”

  Ken LaursenGeneral ManagerF&B Communications, Inc.

• Spector CNE is like a One-Stop Shop for monitoring

  "Spector CNE not only solves regulatory compliance issues, but Human Resources issues as well. It's inexpensive insurance. When you consider the liability and risk factor... it only takes one even... one lawsuit... to exceed the cost of licensing. Spector CNE is like a One-Stop Shop for monitoring. With it, you can monitor all key functions in one place. We've had benefits from day one."

• Most business owners are clueless as to how bad the problem is...

  “We found some employees chatting at least an hour a day. But most employees comply with expected reasonable behavior. Most of them realize monitoring is for the right reason; that it’s in the right direction. If every business owner put Spector 360 out there, they’d save a lot more than they realize. 10 people at a productivity savings of 1 hour a week, at $30 an hour... that’s $300 a week times 50 weeks, or $15,000. And I think the savings are actually more like 5 hours a week. Most business owners are clueless as to how bad the problem is and how unfair it is to those employees who must pick up the slack. Spector 360 has cured all our problems.”

  Edward DeAngelisPresident and OwnerHighTech HVAC

• If you want to see the big picture... Spector 360 is it...

  "Increased productivity has paid for the software. It's one of the best investments we've made. We had complaints from some employees about porn sites being accessed. By reviewing Spector 360 reports, we saw it was true. We made the decision to put the software on ALL our PCs. Clearly, something of this nature is serious exposure and a potential liability. As a deterrent, Spector 360 works beautifully. They just don't go there, because they know we will catch them. Non-work activity literally disappeared. The deterrent aspect is one of the best parts of the software. I absolutely cannot see being in a senior management position without it. If you want to know what's going on... if you want to see the big picture... Spector 360 is it."

  Jane TerryPresident and CEOAjax Boiler

• Because of Spector 360, I know our people are not fooling around on the computer...

  "We were literally giving away data... and dollars. I found active Excel spreadsheets were being sent to the customer as part of a maintenance agreement. Some of the spreadsheet values were being changed and sent back. Not only did we catch this thanks to Spector 360, but we had proof. The return on investment was only a few months. I think you have to ask yourself ‘what is the price of security? How much is a customer database worth?'

  We also had a new employee going to porn sites… he had purchased porn with his personal credit card, and he had downloaded the porn to his work PC. He also had reconfigured his PC. I handed him a 17-page report on his activities and told him the deal. He got it and has been a model employee ever since. Because of Spector 360, I know our people are not fooling around on the computer. They are working at the PC. If they are fooling around on the computer, it's someplace else, like at home.”

  Robert ElliotRCS CommunicationsLouisville, Kentucky

• This ability provides a lot of security, with no paranoia. You find out what's real...

  "One of the most alarming things we saw with Spector 360 was that someone had moved 9,000 files. This really stood out to us... the volume of activity just seemed too high. Other users showed perhaps 100 to 200 documents transferred. We definitely were concerned about loss of sensitive data. As it turned out, the activity was proactive... the user was actually transferring one network to another. He had downloaded 4,500 files from one network, and then uploaded that information to another network he was working on. It WAS a work issue, and thanks to Spector 360 we were able to determine that.

  We like seeing the Top 20, and it was easy to customize Spector 360 to meet that need... the Top 20 users printing documents, the Top 20 transferring files, the Top 20 users downloading, the Top 20 employees using bandwidth. If something stands out, I can drill down and check on it first instead of having to question an employee unnecessarily. This ability provides a lot of security, with no paranoia. You find out what's real."

  Franklin ArosemenaSenior IT ManagerINCA

• Spector 360 encourages employees to be more alert and more careful with what they transmit, receive, or view...

  "The number of hours on non-work related sites has come down so fast that it is unreal. Productivity on the computer has gone up ... Especially in a country like China where saving face means a lot, I initially thought the system would backfire. Fortunately, it did not. Spector 360 encourages employees to be more alert and more careful with what they transmit, receive, or view. The change happened almost overnight. The frequency of idling away hours on non-productive activities has dropped tremendously, like 70 percent!"

  Chris TayDeputy General ManagerHop Hing Food Group

• With Spector CNE, we've seen non-work activities drop off to almost nothing...

  "Spector CNE catches everything. Nothing is left to the imagination, and in an investigation, that's critical. With Spector CNE, we've seen non-work activities drop off to almost nothing... With approximately 50 employees using PCs, the potential yearly bottom line savings equates to more than $180,000. It’s definitely something that works well for us. I have shared this with other HIPAA Security Officers. I have told them how happy I am with it. Spector CNE has done everything it’s advertised to do. It’s worth the price and more.”

  Eric SkillingstadMobridge Regional Hospital

• Spector 360 works very well as a deterrent to inappropriate Internet and computer use...

  "Spector 360 works very well as a deterrent to inappropriate Internet and computer use. Clients tell us they have all these computers and they don't know what their people are doing on them. Our response is ‘all our people are working on client matters on our company computers. We know all'. Employees are absolutely more conscious of what they are doing. The Spector 360 investment definitely is worth it... what we spent was quickly gained back in productivity."

  Steve SalisburySystem AdministratorDannible & McKee, LLP

• I am amazed at how well it works...

  "I've installed your software on 5 PCs (and my own) and I am amazed at how well it works. I have used it to monitor new employees, and some experienced ones, specifically on their use of time on the system. I even headed off a looming struggle between three employees... I think I took the wind out of their sails.

  It has also forced me to address the fact that I'm indeed monitoring their computer actions and content which broaches the privacy issue. Here in New York State, as our attorneys can vouch, an employee has no expectation of privacy while at work if the PC, the software, and all the other systems are company owned. That is a big wake up call to some."

  Charlie EpesGernold Agency, Inc.Orchard Park, NY

• I expect an annual cost savings in wages and benefits of $220,000...

  "I know who our problem employees are and I spot-check them with Spector. When Spector captured their inappropriate activity, the problem employees denied it at first. But when I showed them the details – the screen snapshots, the captured emails and instant messages – they were dumbstruck. Spector has been so effective at reducing personal time spent on the computer that I expect to be able to reduce my staff from 100 to 90 employees WITHOUT losing any productivity, and expect an annual cost savings in wages and benefits of $220,000."

  Daniel AndersonNorthern Arizona OrthopedicsFlagstaff, AZ

• Spector CNE is a phenomenal product...

  "Non-work activity has cost us tens of thousands of dollars over the last two to three years. This has been going on for a while... it didn't just happen overnight. Spector CNE clearly has increased productivity. The offenders are on the straight and narrow. Our folks are back to work and focused.

  Spector CNE is a phenomenal product. Use of this product should be the norm. If they're watching, nine out of ten companies will find that there are some issues. As far as I'm concerned, Spector CNE is a story that has to be told.”

  Bob LebeauxPresidentThe Plastics Group of America

• We put a stop to a $70,000 calendar-year loss. I can't imagine the real impact...

  "It was like night and day between SpectorSoft and the competition… there's no other program like it. After running Spector 360 for just about a week, the boss said ‘let's take a look.' The report came up and it was ‘oh my God' ... in your face, clear as day. Spector 360 paid for itself – and then some – within the first few weeks of implementation.

  We put a stop to a $70,000 calendar-year loss. I can't imagine the real impact... what we lost because of what he (the major offending employee) failed to do. It's not just the lost wages, but the indeterminate amount of dollars... it's horrifying to me. It's hard to put a dollar value on it. I know this: thanks to Spector 360, I can go home and get a good night's rest. My bosses are happy and we're saving money. Spector 360 is the best we could ever have, bar none. "

  Richard SheridanTlingit-Haida Regional Housing AuthorityJuneau, Alaska

• If we were ever to go to court, Spector CNE's screen snapshots are irrefutable...

  "Every company will have a need to investigate inappropriate behavior from time to time. Spector CNE is the complete tool to obtain the needed information. Finding and weeding out a problem employee early, that's one of Spector CNE's great values. If we were ever to go to court, Spector CNE's screen snapshots are irrefutable."

  Michael HewittSacramento Municipal Utility District

• Spector 360 has absolutely increased productivity...

  “Spector 360… pinpointed the wasted time and the persons responsible. After that, we definitely saw a change in work habits. Spector 360 has absolutely increased productivity. If we get back just 10 hours of work per employee a year, Spector 360 pays for itself many times over.”

  Ross BenovIT ManagerIMV Projects

• I definitely feel Spector 360 has restored order...

  "Spector 360 is easily worth every penny. I really value the ability to note Activity/Inactivity. The CEO uses Quick View the most. There is such an abundance of features and gems. But you quickly learn the ones you need... the ones that work for you. I definitely feel Spector 360 has restored order. Now that we’ve been using it for a while, I don’t even have to check it as much as I once did because everyone KNOWS we can! "

  Don DeasIT ManagerGI Associates and Endoscopy Center

• You can avoid problems like sexual harassment, email abuse, peer-to-peer downloading...

  “If you have more than 10 employees or so, you need Spector CNE. You can avoid problems like sexual harassment, email abuse, peer-to-peer downloading... ALL OF IT. Some people are easily offended, and eliminating the potential for explicit images... preventing these things from happening... it's just good business practice.”

  Renato InacioIT DirectorFann, Petrucelli & Genovese

• From a security standpoint, Spector 360 has done a real good job for us... it offers good value for the dollar...

  "It's amazing ... people will deny their actions all the way to the photograph. But once you get to the screen snapshots, it's amazing how quickly they change their tune. Monitoring has had a positive effect on the surfing situation. There was a lot going on when they didn't think we were monitoring. Now I rarely see anything I'm concerned about.

  We don't have the need or desire to go into the software and do a 24/7 check on everybody, but we have the system in place in case we need to look at anything. For example, if an employee is leaving us, we'll do a routine check. It's a real effective tool for departure situations ... expected or unexpected. From a security standpoint, Spector 360 has done a real good job for us... it offers good value for the dollar. Your company policy determines the rules — and Spector 360 enforces them."

More than 500,000 consumers, parents, educators and law-enforcement officials worldwide use SpectorSoft products to help parents keep their kids safe online by monitoring all PC and Internet activity, chats, emails and websites visited; and to conduct thorough investigations when suspicious activity is suspected. Here are some of their stories:

• Spector Pro has enabled me to stop some potentially dangerous and embarrassing situations...

  "I believe Spector Pro has enabled me to stop some potentially dangerous and embarrassing situations that my teenager had gotten into. I am so grateful for this program. People ask me why I spy on my kids... I don't feel like it's spying... at the tender age of 14 my daughter is blind to many social situations that are damaging. With Spector Pro I'm seeing how she is interacting with others, and can try to speak with her about situations."

  Marianne FoleyUpper Black Eddy, PA

• I've not only saved my teens from making bad choices, but have also been able to alert our school...

  "Just wanted to let you know how much I DEPEND on your software to keep me informed of my teenagers' online usage. I've not only saved my teens from making bad choices, but have also been able to alert our school privately of happenings that they wouldn't have otherwise known of. One child was searching online for drugs. Due to knowledge gained through Spector they were expelled immediately and are now receiving much needed counseling. Your company is saving young lives - be very proud!"

  Lisa KnoppeSt. Louis, MO

• It helped discover some very disturbing facts about the person my daughter was chatting with online...

  "Because of my daughter's emotional state, I had no choice but to try and find answers. I turned to eBlaster. It helped discover some very disturbing facts about the person my daughter was chatting with online. When reading one of the reports, I read about a man trying to send her a credit card, and cell phone. I then got information about him. Turned out, he was a 51yr old "registered sex offender" in a different state. I immediately confronted the situation, and turned the reports over to authorities. Without eBlaster, I would've been in the dark, and wouldn't have known what was going on in my daughter's life."

  Edward DGreeneville, TN

• I think every parent should use this to help protect their kids...

  "I recently used your product, I wish I had known about it several months ago. I think every parent should utilize this to help protect their kids from various situations. Thank you or should I say thank the people who came up with this program."

  Bob DepwegNewhall, CA

• Spector is an outstanding product for parents, and is a great tool to help protect children ...

  “In my opinion Spector is an outstanding product for parents, and is a great tool to help protect children from the dangers they face while online. Along with our IT team, I tested several products, and our first choice is Spector."

  Sergeant Paul GarciaAlbuquerque, NM Police Department

• This is an amazing product...

  "This is an amazing product! Due to my teenage daughter communicating with strangers on the internet, I had been forced to move her computer into the dining room so that I could keep an eye on her computer usage. I now have her password and a complete record of who she is communicating with. AOL parental controls and internet explorer "content advisor" were not adequate because she had to call me every five minutes if she was surfing the web for home work so that I could allow her to view certain sites. I have now moved her computer back into her room and I feel so much more at ease!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!"

  M GellisFulton, MD

• THIS PRODUCT DELIVERED ON EVERY CLAIM AND PROMISE...

  "We were worried our 13 year old son was being exposed to pedophiles on the internet so we loaded Spector Pro and within two days of "evidence gathering" we sent a note to all participating parties and received these responses: 'I didn’t know he was 13. I won't speak to him anymore,' 'Sorry. I deeply regret ever talking to your son,' 'Thank you for notifying me of his correct age. I was not aware of this. All contact will stop immediately. I apologize for this as I was not aware of his age.' I had my doubts with all the promises this product offered. THIS PRODUCT DELIVERED ON EVERY CLAIM AND PROMISE with no bugs. I am completely satisfied."

  AnonymousTorrance, CA

• I think every parent should have it, I have recommended it to many of my friends already...

  "I have been using Spector for a couple weeks now, and I just wanted you to know that I absolutely love it! It's super easy to install and just as easy to use. I had to reformat my hard drive and Spector was the first thing that went back on my computer after the operating system and my son had no idea it was there. It's invisible even with hardly anything on the computer. It's the only thing I have found that records both sides of chat conversations. I think every parent should have it, I have recommended it to many of my friends already."

  Pam

• Most importantly, I have been comforted by what I have observed about my children...

  "As a surgeon, I live in chaos most of the time. However, I felt compelled to write you a note about SpectorSoft. I have wasted a great deal of money on software that did little or none of the things that lead to the purchase. SpectorSoft does exactly what you said. That is worth a lot these days.

  The multiple features allow me to monitor my children's Internet activity in such a reliable way, I feel very comfortable with their unmonitored use. Monitoring with the "chat" module makes this very simple and more coherent and speeds the review considerably. I have talked with your tech support people and found that also smooth and efficient in solving my network problem.

  Most importantly, I have been comforted by what I have observed about my children. No bad language or violation of our rules etc. That, above all, is the best thing your software has done for me."

• I urge all parents to obtain Spector and to USE IT!...

  "I noticed on your web site that you have testimonial letters so I thought that I would send you one myself. Spector helped my wife and I stop an ongoing sexual molestation of our 13-year-old daughter and we will be forever grateful.

  It started in September when I glanced at the computer when my daughter left the room for a moment and noticed a very disturbing and sexually explicit e-mail that she had been sent. I forwarded it to my office so that I could look at it the next morning and said nothing to her about it at the time.

  The next day I read it and it was very graphic and made me realize that our child was having a sexual relationship with the sender. As heartbreaking as that was, it became even worse when I investigated and realized that the sender was a 37 year old man and was one of her Middle School teachers!

  Knowing that I could not afford to make unfounded and easily renounced allegations about a supposedly upstanding member of the education community, I looked on the Internet for software that would allow me to monitor her e-mail. I found your web site and it looked just like what I needed so I called and spoke to one of your people and then ordered, downloaded and installed Spector.

  Within 36 hours I had enough evidence to approach the police and the man was arrested and just last week (Feb. 8) he pled guilty, was sentenced, barred for life from teaching and will have his photograph and address listed on the state's sexual offender web site. None of this would have been possible without the evidence that we obtained using your Spector software.

  The real pain and guilt that we will always bear is the knowledge that had we already had Spector installed before this happened, we may not have been able to prevent it but we would have detected it months earlier. Then we could have spared our daughter the wiles of a determined pedophile that had been emotionally stalking her for over a year before he managed to achieve his goal...our daughter's virginity.

  I urge all parents to obtain Spector and to USE IT! If we had had it in place we would not be going through the pain and child therapy that we are. Just let me conclude by giving you my heartfelt thanks again. I sent you a clipping of the article about his conviction and please feel free to use it to encourage other parents to buy and use your product."

  Bob W

• Your program is worth every penny if not more in my opinion...

  "Just wanted your company to know that I caught a grown man (a parent of another local child) speaking with my 14 year old daughter about extreme sexual language, first via e-mail then AOL Instant Messages. I've contacted the F.B.I. and his wife... your program is worth every penny if not more in my opinion ... thanks sooo much, it could have turned out to be a lot worse then what ended up happening."

  Christine AbbottNew Freeport, PA

• I felt I got my money's worth the first day...

  "I purchased Spector Pro about a month ago because I was concerned about the amount of time one of our daughters was spending on the computer. She was always closing out stuff when we came anywhere near the computer room. Just a few short hours after downloading the product I found out just what was going on!

  It turns out that she was visiting chat rooms that were not exactly places a 15 year old should be in, and the stuff she was saying in "private messaging"... we don't want to even talk about that. Funny thing though she wasn't really mad about it all, in fact she seemed kind of relieved to give the guys an excuse now not to engage in that type of activity. This has been the best purchase I have made in quite a while. I felt I got my money's worth the first day."

• You saved my child's life on the Internet...

  "I recently purchased Spector Pro. This is absolutely a great program. You saved my child's life on the Internet. I'm strongly recommending this program to all parents concerned. Thank you!

• Spector Pro really does provide 'peace of mind'...

  "We operate a non-profit organization that provides a transition home for young adult American kids who've grown up overseas and are re-entering the U.S. culture. We wanted to provide them with access to the Internet and email without the worry of them getting drawn into anything that would be detrimental to them. Since installing Spector Pro on all three of our computers, we have been tremendously impressed with its performance! Our residents know that Spector Pro is installed and that we check it at least once a week. One of our residents even told us, 'Oh good! Spector is what my high school in Africa used.'

  And when we recently got a new computer, I told my wife to install our 'peace of mind' (Spector Pro) immediately! Several of our residents' parents (who are still working overseas) have expressed their gratitude to us for installing Spector Pro to help give their kids the parental guidance they would give them if their kids were living with them. We have also recommended Spector to dozens of others in the 7 months that we've been using it and we will continue to tell others about this tremendous product. Spector Pro really does provide 'peace of mind' and we wouldn't think of having computers in our home and workplace without Spector installed."

  MarkJoseph HouseFort Mill, SC

• I have yet to come across a program that comes close to eBlaster...

  "As the father of 5 boys (ages 12-18) we have resigned ourselves to the Internet being a part of our kids lives--though understanding the potential dangers of the web led us to begin researching 'proactive' options to keep our kids safe.

  eBlaster is more than the standard for the industry; it’s the standard for parental peace of mind. From its flawless yet complete delivery of every second our kids spend online to its ease of use (and installation) you guys should be standard equipment for every family PC sold. Yes, I respect my kids’ privacy...but not at the expense of their safety.

  In the world of technology, words like 'state of the art' and 'cutting edge' get redefined almost hourly. I have yet to come across a program that comes close to eBlaster. And, considering you do it all for a mere $99, you make priceless peace of mind rather affordable."

  Sam AshMunsey, NY

• The process of monitoring and confronting has become an extremely valuable tool for us in raising our children...

  "I am writing to express my appreciation to SpectorSoft and its employees for the incredible value I have found in the eBlaster software. With this tool I was able to monitor my oldest daughter's communication on the Internet in such a way that did not interfere with her ability to communicate freely. During the monitoring period we observed our daughter struggling with some very difficult problems that she had not shared with us.

  Over a period of several months there were three critical incidents that we were able to address promptly because of eBlaster's monitoring and notification features. It was important to us that our daughter not become aware of our monitoring, so we were very careful to re-discover the problems directly with her through a series of questions, pointed advice and family discussions.

  The process of monitoring and confronting has become an extremely valuable tool for us in raising our children. My child may not have survived this period without access to eBlaster. Thank you again for your dedication and support of the eBlaster product."

  Don D.

• You have saved my daughter from what could have been a very bad situation...

  "I just wanted to say what a wonderful product this is. I installed it on two of my computers at home to watch my children's Internet habits. Within a couple of months I was able to put a stop to inappropriate chats between my 14 year old daughter and one of her male teachers that took place almost every day. Without this software I would have had no idea what was going on. The police department and school district complimented me on my initiative. I gave credit to your wonderful program and have told many parents about it.

  No household with children who use the Internet should be without it. I don't think parents realize how many horrible things their children can come across, just by accident. Thanks again. You have saved my daughter from what could have been a very bad situation."

  M Baranowski

• I own eBlaster and its use saved my daughter from every parent's worst nightmare, a sexual predator...

  "I own eBlaster and its use saved my daughter from every parent's worst nightmare, a sexual predator. I talk to parents groups, churches, and individuals about their RESPONSIBILITY to know what their kids are seeing on their computers. I am so impressed. You have no idea how thankful I am for this product."
