How statlook can serve an educational facility?
Hardware and software inventory is automated – it takes only to remotely install agents on each workstation to gather data about every electronic device that is connected to the network. The data are presented as coherent reports, which can be saved in any format and print, if the situation demands it.
Legality issue looks likewise – it takes only to request a scan of computers to gather data concerning types and number of installed licenses – both commercial and freeware – and educational versions of them. Every function of the system are accessible from the level of Master console.
Monitoring offered by statlook system serves as means of controlling end-users behaviour. The data gathered on an ongoing basis give administrators such pieces of information as:
* Who installed a program and on which workstation,
* Which files and multimedia were downloaded,
* Which websites and domains were visited,
* Which applications were used?
* How much time was spent on a given activity?
This functionality has a key value for IT in education – especially concerning the fact that apart from gaining login reports, an administrator may block access to dangerous or undesirable websites, domains and applications.
This also includes external memory drives – the usage of unauthorized devices also can be blocked or limited to read-only or saving and reading.
