As you work with ObserveIT, you will find that it provides unique and invaluable benefits in your day to day system administration.

Screen Snapshot Audit trail - of any configuration change performed on servers and computers.

Record all methods of access - Including remote and console window sessions such as RDP, ICA, Terminal Services, VNC, NetOP.

Selective Monitoring - Limit recording to only selected applications as needed.

SQL Server Database - high performance, scalable backend for indexing and archiving all recorded sessions in a compressed and searchable format.

Identify actual users - ObserveIT Identification Services identifies the actual user even when using generic Windows login names like Administrator. Authentication with an additional user name and password can be against any LDAP data source or ObserveIT internal account database. Please refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide to learn more about setting up and configuring ObserveIT Identification Services.

Searchable metadata - find sessions with any keyword, application screen or file name within the database.

Highly compressed format - 1000 monitored servers = 25 GB of database storage per year.
ObserveIT Slide Viewer - Replay any recorded session using a VCR-like interface.

Efficient data capture - Idle time during a session when the user is not actively working is not recorded. Not only does this approach result in less database storage, it allows sessions to be reviewed quickly as only relevant actions are displayed.

Digital signing and encryption - All recorded sessions are protected against tampering.

Web Console - Intuitive and flexible web based interface for configuration and administration.

Cross Server Reports - aggregate reporting of application usage, selected user activity, and selected server access.

Context Sensitive Search - point your mouse and press F12 on any application window to get a comprehensive audit trail of all access and activity on the selected application window.

Sticky Notes Annotations - Add "Sticky Notes" to any application window. The "Sticky Note" will appear whenever anyone accesses the selected application screen on any monitored server.
