Our
customers
have implemented
Spector
CNE to help
solve a
wide range
of business
concerns.
Here are
some comments
they have
shared with
us:
"Spector
CNE is a
frighteningly
amazing
product.
It was easy
to install.
After we
announced
to the employees
that their
activities
were being
monitored,
I noticed
a great
change in
the employees
surfing
patterns.
Productivity
has improved
and workers
now look
for work
to stay
busy rather
than goofing
off."

"We
love our
Spector
CNE software.
It's one
of the best
software
investments
we've made.
As Director
of Information
and Technology
in a fairly
large school
district,
one of our
biggest
challenges
is providing
a safe and
secure environment
that is
conducive
to learning.
All of our
students
and staff
sign Internet
acceptable
use policies,
which prior
to installing
Spector
CNE was
a challenge
to enforce.
We didn't
have anything
like Spector
CNE, and
it's nearly
impossible
for the
teachers
to always
be looking
over the
students
shoulders.
So, now
that we
have CNE
installed
I feel reassured
that even
though we
cannot look
over the
students
shoulders
every minute,
we always
know what
they've
been up
to.
You can
imagine
the students
surprise
when they
had been
caught doing
something
against
our Acceptable
use policy,
staring
at snapshots
of their
Illegal
activities.
Word spread
fast! Since
installing
the software,
it hasn't
taken much
time to
realize
SIGNIFICANT
reductions
in unacceptable
computer
use.
As for
your support
staff, we
found them
to be most
responsive
and competent.
Thanks
Spectorsoft,
keep up
the great
work!"

"Since
the installation
of Spector
CNE on a
number of
our computers
in the office,
internet
abuse and
inter-company
email (gossip)
has nearly
been eliminated.
The installation
of our network
two years
ago together
with fast
internet
access was
a huge temptation
to our 30
employees.
This --
in combination
with computer
games being
used after
the lunch
hour was
over --
was costing
us huge
amounts
in lost
time.
We informed
our employees
that your
product
was being
used and
this alone
increased
efficiency
greatly.
There were
still a
few unbelievers.
So we were
forced to
print out
the screens
and give
these to
the employees.
This action
all but
eradicated
the abuse.
Now we have
reached
a happy
agreement
whereby
the employees
use the
internet
for personal
reasons
only at
lunch or
after hours.
This has
also stopped
the continual
flow of
email over
the Outlook
system.
We would
highly recommend
your software
to any business
where internet
use is available
to employees.
Many thanks."

"I
wanted to
write and
thank you
for your
Spector
CNE software.
For the
past 17
years I
have directed
a non-profit
organization
that operates
in the inner-city
and works
primarily
with high-risk
low-income
people.
As part
of our services,
we offer
incidental
computer
familiarization
and job
search training.
This requires
us to have
all the
internet
options
available
including
browsing,
email, webmail,
and MSN.
Although
we have
strict guidelines
as to their
their usage,
guidelines
which are
made clear
to all computer
users including
our staff
and volunteers,
we can never
be sure
that the
computer
users are
not engaging
in illegal
activities—activities
that can
be directly
traced back
to our computers.
We have
16 computers
and it would
be nearly
impossible,
and a misuse
of our human
resources,
to try to
monitor
without
some serious
help.
And we
found that
help in
Spector
CNE. It
is awesome.
Absolutely
invisible
to the computer
user, it
tracks everything—even
what I’m
typing right
now. For
complete
disclosure,
we actually
show the
users the
results
of the Spector
CNE log
information;
so they
know before-hand
what is
being captured.
Charities
like ours
cannot afford
to take
the liability
of criminal
computer
use lightly.
Words and
usage can
be flagged
with Spector
CNE and
it stores
all aspects
of use for
later discovery.
The install,
the look
and feel
and the
ease of
use are
outstanding.
This is
the most
superior
program
of its genre—absolutely
years ahead
of any similar-type
program."

“I
know who
our problem
employees
are and
I spot-check
them with
Spector
CNE. With
Spector
I discovered
that employees
were spending
huge amounts
of time
on games,
websites,
personal
correspondence
and more.
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
CNE 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.
Not only
did we save
money, but
we increased
revenue
as well.
Spector
CNE has
been an
invaluable
asset to
track activities
within our
corporation.”

"For
more than
three months,
I researched
for a solution
that would
enable our
hospital
to monitor
web usage
on our employee
computers.
I found
Spector
CNE to deliver
a cost-effective
solution,
and one
which did
not require
expensive
hardware.
I considered
N2H2 and
Websense,
but found
both their
cost and
the amount
of time
required
to be too
high. In
addition,
Websense
and N2H2
only did
web filtering.
Spector
CNE included
email monitoring
and provided
information
as to what
programs
our employees
were using
the most
and even
showed us
that many
employees
were playing
Solitaire
1 to 2 hours
a day. Our
company
monitored
four computers
over a two-week
timeframe
and found
that we
were losing
10 hours
per week
due to employees
doing their
bankiing
on the Internet
and playing
cards on
the computer.
We had been
planning
on adding
staff to
one of our
departments.
However,
Spector
CNE allowed
us to take
a second
look, providing
us with
hard evidence
of loss
based on
employee
activity,
and as such
we have
been able
to reduce
staff. I
would recommend
this software
to companies
large and
small. The
best part
is it does
not require
a server
to run and
it runs
without
having to
man it daily.
Only when
you need
reports/results
do you need
to spend
time with
it, and
it will
save our
small hospital
of 300 employees
more than
$100,000
annually."

"I
wanted to
say a few
words on
behalf of
Spector
CNE. I have
found this
software
to be a
very useful
tool in
the monitoring
of web access
and emails.
The installation
of this
product
and
the client
installations
are very
simple and
straight
forward.
The way
the Viewer
works makes
it very
easy to
maneuver
through
the various
activities
that are
being monitored.
Someone
that doesn't
possess
technical
knowledge
can easily
use this
product.
My users
know they
are being
monitored,
but don't
know where
the program
resides
or where
the information
goes to.
By using
Spector
CNE, I know
the data
retrieved
is accurate.
My company
officers
are pleased
with the
product
and found
Spector
CNE to be
worth the
money. We
have been
able to
monitor
user efficiency,
which assists
in determining
whether
an employee
is utilizing
their time
well or
not. Thank
you for
making a
great product.
You have
made my
life easier
because
of it.

"Spectorsoft
has solved
some big
problems
for us.
We found
out, completely
by mistake,
that a large
number of
our staff
were playing
computer
games and
chatting
on the Internet
while on
company
time. We
had a monitoring
tool but
it only
monitored
web surfing.
It did not
have the
capability
to monitor
Web mail
or Instant
Messaging
Once we
rolled out
Spector
CNE we were
able to
collect
screen shots,
Web mail
sessions,
and chat
conversations
from the
offending
employees.
We had a
Use of Communications
Systems
policy in
place and
could have
terminated
several
people but
the problem
was so widespread,
and some
of the employees
were considered
quite valuable
to the company,
we decided
to distribute
the pictures
anonymously
to demonstrate
the technology
without
naming any
one person.
The game
playing
stopped
cold and
we have
only had
very few
isolated
incidents
since then
which were
dealt with
swiftly
because
we knew
about it
immediately,
thanks to
Spector
CNE. We
had been
delaying
the rollout
of Instant
Messaging
until we
had a tool
that would
allow us
to monitor
the traffic.
Spector
CNE gave
us that
ability
and much
more. The
return on
investment
in our situation
was only
a few months
and allowed
us to leverage
new technology
to increase
efficiency
within the
company."

"Thank
you for
helping
us purchase
and install
the Spector
CNE monitoring
software.
We have
been very
pleased
with the
product
and the
features
it provides!
The remote
installation
was a breeze.
The centralized
storage
with the
DataVault
is a great
feature,
and has
saved us
countless
hours of
connecting
to each
computer
individually.
The Content

is the biggest
asset to
us -- we
no longer
have to
worry about
finding
a way to
record all
traffic
and events
on the network
computers.
We can passively
monitor
all of the
computers
in real-time
for inappropriate
content!
The Content

saved us
from immeasurable
frustration

Thank you

"I
have only
had a short
time to
operate
the program
on my SBS
2000 test
network
but I am
truly impressed.
The product
has performed
flawlessly
and is greatly
superior
to any of
the other
products
that I have
tried. I
am also
very impressed
with the
documentation
and help
section.
Many of
your competitors
have little
or no documentation
with their
product.
I work
with a variety
of small
to medium
size businesses
and one
of the major
concerns
I hear from
my customers
is about
Internet
misuse.
I think
this program
will fill
an important
void for
many businesses."

"I
have worked
for three
different
brokerage
houses during
my career,
and at all
three, I
was responsible
for the
technology
to ensure
compliance
with SEC
and NASD
regulations
regarding
email retention
and review.
I have utilized
several
different
products
in the course
of meeting
those regulations
and, by
far, Spector
CNE has
the greatest
potential
of all.
Spector
CNE beats
everyone
else hands
down, especially
in the types
of data
collected
at a price
point per
seat.
Prior to
Spector
CNE, several
of the packages
I used were
in the range
of several-hundred-dollars
per seat,
and since
most only
archived
email or
email and
IM, it became
an extremely
expensive
proposition.
Unfortunately,
the market
has become
crowded
with companies
that take
financial
advantage
of the brokerage
houses’
need for
compliance.
Now I look
forward
to implementing
your product
and being
able to
provide
my users
and management
with a very
reasonably
priced solution.
No one else
in the arena
currently
provides
the level
of surveillance
or flexibility
available
in Spector
CNE."
