What teams say about eMonitor
"We replaced two point-solutions with eMonitor and cut $18,000 a year off software costs while getting better data. The employee dashboards were what got the team on board."
"Rolled it out to 5,200 agents across four shift patterns in under a week. The shared-workstation handling and shift-aware reporting are the reasons we picked it over the enterprise alternatives."
"The privacy-first defaults were the differentiator for us — legal and works council both signed off in the first meeting. Try doing that with the incumbents."

Frequently asked questions
What is the best employee monitoring software for teams?
The best employee monitoring software depends on your team size, platform mix, and privacy requirements. eMonitor is the top pick for organizations that need a transparent, privacy-first employee monitoring tool across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebook — trusted by 1,000+ teams, rated 4.8/5 on Capterra (57 reviews), and priced from $3.90 per user with a 7-day free trial. See our full comparison of the top employee monitoring tools.
How long does it take to set up eMonitor?
Under 2 minutes per device. Download the agent, install it (silent MDM deployment supported), and data starts flowing to your dashboard immediately. Most teams have baseline data by end of day one.
Is employee monitoring legal?
In most jurisdictions, yes — when it covers work activity on company systems, serves a legitimate business purpose, and employees are told about it. Requirements vary by country and US state; some require consent or advance notice. See our state-by-state guide.
Will my team resent being monitored?
Transparent monitoring rarely triggers resentment — covert monitoring almost always does. eMonitor is built for transparency: employees see their own dashboards from day one, tracking only starts after clock-in, and the ability to correct app classifications is baked in.
What's the difference between the Starter and Professional plans?
Starter covers time tracking, attendance, productivity analytics, and employee dashboards. Professional adds screen monitoring, DLP with real-time alerts, SSO, role-based access, and integrations (HRIS, Slack, Jira). Same underlying platform — Professional is for teams that need visual monitoring + insider-risk coverage.
Can we self-host or use our own data residency region?
Cloud-hosted by default with US, EU, and India data-residency options on Professional and Enterprise. On-prem deployment is available for Enterprise customers with specific compliance requirements.
How do you handle sensitive data like passwords or medical apps?
Configurable exclusion rules by app, URL, or user group. Screenshots auto-blur on flagged applications (banking, healthcare portals, HR systems). Keystroke logging is off by default; content-level capture is opt-in per policy.
