"PC & Android Versions"
Version: WebWatcher 8.2.12.1102
Pros
Android: txting capture works well.
PC:
+ Alert words screen capture works well
+ Stealthy. Not detected by Kapersky antivirus
+ Does not slow down computer (or phone)
+ Easy install
+ All data available on web from other PC anytime
+ Support is easy to reachCons
Android: Geolocate is miserably poor.
PC: - Keylogger only captures half of keystrokes (but seems to get most form entries i.e username/password). Does not capture web emails very well
- Smart camera feature has an allotmment of 1000 screen captures, then you have to pay to keep getting them (alert word feature keeps capturing screen with words you've chosen with out more cost)
_Summary
Decent at what it does, just doesn't do all the things they say.

"Works only for 1 month, then fails miserably"
Version: WebWatcher 8.0.2.993
Pros
Don't believe in the 5-star reviews which are very likely Webwatcher's employees. The software doesn't work reliably and fails completely after a month or so.
Cons
Looks nice but doesn't work.
Summary
Webwatcher doesn't have the technology to do the job as advertised. Look for other software and save your money and headache.

"Glad to find a feature rich product at the right price."
Version: WebWatcher 8.1.23.1056
Pros
Cost
Features
InstallationCons
Does not work on Iphone
Summary
We need to monitor more than one computer and the ability to install a program with this many features at such a low cost is perfect. We are able to monitor all activity and since we are monitoring two computers, the reporting and keyword alert features make it manageable. Works fine for us.

My life is easier now that I can monitor all of my son's online activity. I recommend this software. I would put it in the bucket of software "must-haves." I wish it worked on the iPhone. I want to get my son an iPhone.

Pros
Makes it easy to monitor the online activity on the target computer.
Easy to use screen shots
Quietly monitor PC activity
Filtering content is easy

Does not work in iPhone. Hard to talk my son into using an android phone.

"Avoid! Dishonest company, terrible product."
Version: WebWatcher 8.1.23.1056
Pros
1) It captures SOME of the information it claims it will.
Cons
1) It misses most of what it purports to capture. The Facebook and email sections of the logs are constantly empty, and these only show up sometimes in the screenshots sections.
2) Customer service is terrible.
3) Their goal is to scam customers out of money in any way possible.
4) They will spam you constantly.Summary
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this service. Actually, "disservice," would be a more honest appellation. I got the product to monitor the kinds of messages people were sending my kids and this was my experience with the product and company:
1) The software was monitoring a computer with Windows 8. It missed numerous activities on the computer, completely failed to log anything related to Facebook or email specifically, unless there was something in the screenshots. Even then, it missed a great deal and that was also after I'd tried refining the settings. How do I know it missed things? Their mother was using the computer along with them many times and would manually log what was going on so we could compare it to the tracking of the software. Not even close to matching up AND there is a huge lag between when it collects and when it reports. By "huge" I mean that sometimes it is the next day or longer when it reports everything from the previous day. If you are trying to spot a more immediate threat, that is unacceptable.
2) When you log onto your account, you must always click through a sales pitch from the company first. You can't go to your account without being bombarded with product spam. These guys have mastered the art of annoying, harassing spam, as I will come back to later.
3) Irritatingly, your account is automatically set to charge you for more screenshots. You have to manually override it. The company, of course, does not make this at all clear when you sign up, so after going through the first round of screenshots, expect to get hit for more of them even if you didn't want them. They aren't the only company that does this kind of thing, but I don't know of any customer who appreciates it and sees this as a service.
4) When you DO override the automatic payment you might find, as I did, that the company will send you reminders to buy more screenshots EVERY 5 MINUTES FOR SEVERAL DAYS. That is not an exaggeration. They were very very bad about sending me repeated emails about other things as well, but this was the worst.
5) What the "support" person will tell you when you complain about this is that they are having a problem with the site so you should just unsubscribe to their emails. From my experience, this is just a way that they can charge you for another thing without your approval, and then when you complain, they will tell you that, "well, if you hadn't unsubscribed to our emails, you would have received our notice about that and could have declined to buy." Also, to tell a customer to unsubscribe is basically telling us that the responsibility for their horrible system is ours and that it is not their responsibility to fix their "glitch" (and it probably isn't a glitch to begin with).
If you do a quick search for customer reviews of this product, you'll find a host of other complaints. I echo what many have said, but would rather not turn this review into a novel by reiterating them here.
Summary: Product doesn't work as advertised, customer support is basically lip service with no intent to address a problem, they are transparently dishonest, and will spam you to an unbelievable degree. AVOID!!!!!!! -
"Of Course You Need This Software"
Version: WebWatcher 8.1.23.1056
Pros
Helps me track all the website that my kid visits
I can block website that I don't want my kid to visit
I am alerted when certain actions are takenCons
Trial period is too short. I need more time to learn all of the tricks and features.
Summary
This software makes it easy for us to monitor our sons computer and make sure he is not visiting web sites that we don't feel are beneficial to him. Until the software breaks we feel this software is a 5.
I mean websites****

"Not for employee monitoring, but works for personal use"
Version: WebWatcher 8.1.23.1056
Pros
Easy to install and manage.
Easy to monitor screenshots, capture keyboard strokes, review online searches and see the list of accessed websites.
Keyword alerts is easy to set-up and works well.Cons
I was hoping to use the software to monitor my employees, but soon realized this software is for personal use. Installing on the target computer is not as easy as I thought, but it works well.
Summary
Parental monitoring software program is easy to install and fairly easy to remotely monitor the target computer. You get a lot for the price.

"Complete garbage, DO NOT BUY!!!"
Version: WebWatcher 8.1.23.1056
Pros
looks at screen shots and keystrokes, that's it
Cons
Completely shuts down functionality of target computer in about 5 days. Any idiot can tell something is wrong with the machine.
Also, they charge extra for storing the data they collect, for more than 7 days.Summary
Run away- complete waste of time and money, non responsive company to problems when complaint filed. Only response was "live chat" with tech support, on the target machine. Ummm, machine won't run due to THEIR SOFTWARE!! idiots.
