Windows Clients

A Windows Client is an application that can be installed on target computers to monitor the activity of their users. The monitored data is sent by the Windows Client to the Application Server and can be viewed in the Management Tool.

Depending on their permissions, users can install/uninstall Clients remotely, manage their configurations, and manage Client groups.
