Pros
none really, since I never worked properly.
Cons
app unreliable, kept breaking
full of bugs
poor support
Summary
I spent many weeks trying yo get this to work to no avail. It takes days or weeks for support to respond, then all they tell you to do is re-install, re-install, re-install.
every time I reinstalled, it might log for 1-2 days and then would stop working.
Pros
The software is basic and it does show texts and basic functions.
Cons
The manufacturers site provides little accuracy when it comes to installing the software. They say you have to use talk back that comes with the phone to make their software work. Talk back renders android useless. I couldnt imagine you'd catch much activity on your phone if it were stolen. They only thing this software would be good for is watching it go offline when the thief does a hard reset.
Summary
AVOID
Pros
Can't find any
Cons
Installed on a laptop I needed to monitor, and there was never any log files to view, even when I used it as a test.
Summary
Not worth your time to download
Pros
Easy to install
Does some basic activity log
Cons
-lack of a proper documentation
-the "send to e-mail" option does not work, even if the test is OK ("standard" network config: ISP-router-PC)
-the "basic" acount on kidlooger site offers just screenshots and activity logs
-the typed text reported in activity log is scrambled (repeated keys, broken lines)
Summary
Maybe it's good, but the evil concept "we are good, pay us a bucket of money to see how good we are" it's annoying.
Pros
Good program for kids at best. easy to use. good "guide" of use.
Cons
In-accurate screen shots aren't of websites actually visited. Log record also in accurate. Cookies also affects this program quite a bit.
Summary
overall o.k not accurate as to websites visited.
Pros
Password protection does exist for changing settings. Users on my business network do not have read access or delete access to the folder the log files are saved to. This means I dont have to BLOCK any sites, they can go on what they like, I check the logs later, any keywords I have setup will bring up screen shots of what they were doing at the time. Anything I dont like I can use as evidence against them (gross misconduct) and fire them :)
Cons
Setting up the USB stick to auto install on all computers did not work, this might be something to do with the security level on the computers however!
Summary
Great Free App, If you know what you are doing when you set the computer up, there is no getting round it. I didnt want to block things on the network as I have no idea what users might need access to at a moments notice. This way you can tell your users that they are being watched and this will let them police themselves.
THIS IS NOT A VIRUS OR PEICE OF MALWARE, It just looks like one to most antivirus packages because of the fact that it SPIES on the user!!
Pros
Easy to install. User interface is straightforward to use.
Cons
The only feature which I really required does not work correctly. I needed this application to record keystrokes but this is not happening consistently.
Pros
Very simple, easy to install program. Doesn't carry all the extra baggage many programs do.
Cons
Certain functions of the program lack simple customization options one would expect.
I downloaded the program mainly for the screenshot function. However, the program only allows screenshots to be taken at intervals between 1 & 60 MINUTES. Programers should expand the options quite a bit further. Otherwise, its a useless program to me if I can't customize it.
Pros
Quick download and install, good basic controls, mostly stealthy.
Cons
If your kid is a computer nerd, they can see the processes running and it's named kidlogger. Should be KL or something else that doesn't give it away. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL, if known and used by the kids, will quickly give away the fact that a key logger is running.
Summary
Good stable product, and (with a few renaming efforts) stealthy unless kids (or others) are computer saavy and make efforts to see if key loggers are running.
Recommend renaming Folder name and shortcut names in "Start > All Programs". I renamed to "Format Disks" and took out names KidLogger in submenu text. Run for a few hours and make sure it gets past your firewalls, malware, spyware and antivirus controls without popups to give it away.

To make truly "stealthy" do the renaming suggested in original post, then disable the Task Manager that displays all processes running merely by pressingCtrl-Alt-Del or right right clicking over the date/time. Many ways to disable the task manager. I thing the easiest is this..
Start > Run > regedit
Highlight Computer
Ctrl-F(find fuction) and look for DisableTaskManager.
For each occurence found (1 or 2), Modify the value to a "1".
That's it. Then this is truly pretty stealthy, even for experiened users. I keep it on my HP Pvvilion laptop with all the bells and whistles and anti-malware, anti-spyware, firewall and anti-virus, and I'm never aware it's running, especially if I've disabled Task Manager. You really have to crawl around under the covers of the PC to see it.
Another short-coming, but not a serious one, is that the web pages aren't displayed correctly using Chrome as the web browser. But, you still have the web address and keystrokes, and everything else you need.
Pros
Easy to install
Work both on and off Network
Log in useful information
Cons
GPRS coordinates can't be logged
Summary
You can control from any place being connected.
