BlazingTools Secure Office

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

BlazingTools Secure Office is a simple, small network spy application for the novice and intermediate-level manager. BlazingTools Secure Office's interface is a bit cartoon-like for an office environment, but the data is clearly presented, and most users won't need to read the manual.

Installing this application is a quick two-step process. After installing the server, you use it to easily create a client installation package. Secure Office includes some welcome functions. You can choose the installation file name and have it automatically uninstall after a set number of days. The client package is quickly installed and immediately starts reporting to the server. This application accurately monitors chats, Web sites visited, and includes a basic keylogger and screen grabber. Though the keylogger doesn't also track mouse movements, it is easy to gauge a client's movements in conjunction with the screenshots.

Secure Office's Web interface is basic, but includes a helpful calendar to track client usage by date. Basic statistical data is generated in real time for both users and client machines. While screen grabs are saved to the server machine, user-readable logs are not stored separately from the Web interface. Office managers looking to spy on employee Web use, chats, and basic key presses would do well to give this application its full 14-day trial. They might decide this basic spy tool fills their need for information.
