The platform gives managers a clear view of daily computer activity, helping them identify workflow issues, reduce distractions, and make more informed decisions about team performance. CleverControl is suitable for small and midsize businesses, distributed teams, outsourcing companies, and organizations that need better visibility into employee activity on company devices. It can be used to monitor remote employees, review productivity trends, support attendance tracking, investigate internal incidents, and ensure that company resources are used appropriately. The software includes tools for real-time screen viewing, screen recording, screenshots, website and application tracking, active and idle time monitoring, keystroke logging, call recording, website blocking, printer and USB control, and detailed activity reports. These features help managers move beyond basic time tracking and better understand how employees interact with business tools throughout the workday. One of CleverControl’s advanced capabilities is face recognition, which can be used for employee identification, attendance verification, and additional workplace security. This can help businesses confirm who is using a monitored device and support access control in sensitive work environments. The platform offers flexible deployment options. The cloud-based version is designed for businesses that need remote access and easy setup without maintaining their own server infrastructure.

CleverControl also offers an on-premise local option for organizations that prefer a simpler setup without configuring a company server. CleverControl is intended to be used as a transparent business tool for productivity management, security, and compliance. Companies should inform employees about monitoring practices and use the software in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 17 users.

The features are useful and comprehensive, and the dashboard is user-friendly and clear. With CleverControl, I can easily monitor and manage my remote users without breaking the bank. Highly recommendable." > > **Cons**: I can't find anything to complain about CleverControl - it is an excellent tool with a great set of features\! > > CleverControl is a great experience. The customer service team was very friendly and helpful, and the software was really easy to use. ----- ### "good software\!" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *18 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software's ability to monitor employee activities, track application usage, and capture screenshots helped us maintain a secure environment for our valuable data. > > **Cons**: there are no integration with HR tools like Asana, etc > > CleverControl has played a crucial role in strengthening our data security posture, enhancing employee accountability, and supporting our commitment to sustainable and responsible data management practices. ----- ### "Don't, just don't" — 1.0/5 > **John** | *7 January 2022* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick, easy install. Account creation was quick too but they require a phone number, that's a red flag. > > **Cons**: Where to begin? First, it does indeed show up in the task manager and I spotted it immediately even though they do make a minor effort to hide it. Anyone who is tech savvy will see it. Second (and worst of all), when I signed up, my password was sent to me in clear-text which tells me they are performing zero password hashing on their end. This would allow the company to retrieve your password and monitor your computers as easily as you do (this is a serious security violation). The dashboard is slow and hangs a lot, the videos don't play and the logs are mashed together. If you download and install a few of these keylogger suites, you get the impression that they are all one company, using different names. This one Spyrix look identical when installed. Don't trust this software\!\!\!\! ----- ### "great program" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 June 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am very pleased with CleverControl, mainly because of its excellent screen recording feature, which allows me to monitor my remote users with ease. Moreover, the pricing is quite reasonable, offering great value for money. I highly recommend CleverControl for its great features, ease of use and good pricing. > > **Cons**: I was disappointed with CleverControl as the live-viewing of employees' activity was stopped sometimes. ----- ### "Helpful for mid-sized companies" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 May 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: "Quick and easy installation; recording of visited websites and used apps; tracking of active and inactive time; attendance recording (the app shows when the computer was turned on and off); live viewing of computer screens. " > > **Cons**: I believe that the price could be a bit lower for a small number of computers. And I would love to have more time to test the program - the trial is too short for me. > > My business partner told me about this software so I decided to try it in my own company. The problem was that I’d noticed some departments got less productive so I needed to change something in the company’s business process. My IT department installed the program on all company computers within an hour so I can say that the installation is super quick and easy. Further, the app recorded all user activities and showed them to me in graphs and charts so i could check every worker’s productivity. The app helped me detect slackers in several departments and boost their productivity. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/93220/clevercontrol?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/93220/clevercontrol) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
