Veriato

I run ops for a relatively small hybrid company and leadership wants me to look into employee monitoring. Problem is, most of what I've found so far (Teramind, Veriato, that whole crowd) is basically spyware. Keystroke logging, screenshots every few minutes, webcam stuff. No thanks. I'd rather quit than roll that out to my team. What I actually want is something that shows aggregate productivity stuff. Like, are people on the verge of burnout? Where are workflows getting stuck? Are we paying for SaaS nobody opens? Less gotcha, more "help us run a healthier team." A few I've been looking at: \- Intelogos, saw it come up in a thread here, seems to lean into the wellbeing angle \- ActivTrak, bigger name but I've heard mixed things \- Rescue time, Time doctor, something else? If you've actually deployed something like this, I'd love to know. Did you get insights you actually used, or just pretty dashboards? And anything you'd warn me about before pulling the trigger? Appreciate it.

In a previous live, I administered an *incredibly* invasive system called Veriato. It can log keystrokes and take screenshots, dumping everything to a database, without the user knowing. It was used in very specific legal circumstances where I was at, but it still gave me bad vibes when I set it up and had to demonstrate its use. I understand that locales have their own laws that can supersede things like GDPR, but this particular vendor has whitepapers explaining how their software is GDPR compliant: https://veriato.com/ebooks-whitepapers/demonstrating-gdpr-compliance/ Not arguing it's definitely legal or not, but they will paint the picture of compliance for anybody who might be interested in buying.
