eMonitor provides workforce insights into productivity, attendance, application use and compliance through a consent-based monitoring framework. It tracks work time, breaks, overtime, clock-ins and outs, absences and shifts. Productivity scoring uses application usage and active time, with customizable productive and unproductive categories. Screenshot monitoring allows configurable captures, blurring sensitive content and role-based access to images. Dashboards, scheduled reports, custom dashboard building and real-time alerts help teams review activity and policy events. The maker says monitoring runs on work devices during working hours, employees can see their own data, and employees are notified before it starts. The agent can be deployed to Windows, macOS, Linux or Chromebook devices. Cloud hosting is the default; Professional and Enterprise offer US, EU and India data residency, while on-premises deployment is available for qualifying Enterprise customers. There is no free plan; pricing starts at $3.90/user/mo billed annually, with a 7-day trial. The maker says eMonitor is not a dedicated forensic data-loss-prevention platform and is not aimed at deskless workforces without computers.
