Features:

Pearl Echo is based on an independent client-server architecture which needs two setup modes; server or workstation setup. The software practically sets itself up with its friendly and simple menus.

Mobility around the office and on the road can make monitoring difficult especially with high traffic volumes. The Pearl Echo design is not affected by high traffic volume or users’ browsing behavior due to its independent agent-server architecture. Your network administrator will be able to monitor employees’ internet activities whether they are outside or while they are still at their desks.

The software runs as an independent service eliminating reliance on legacy proxy servers or integration issues with firewall subnets. So even if you are accessing the internet through a wireless access on the road (Hot Spots) all your company's internet regulations will still apply and you can monitor emails, browsing, search words and program usage by your people on the road.

Screen captures and other activities on the company laptop will be transmitted to a static IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). This is easily setup and equally easily modified by the administrator as necessary.

Protecting private information on your network can be achieved by monitoring email along with attachments even before they are sent. Pearl Echo has a very easy-to-handle keyword blocking setup option based on comprehensive, automatically updated categorization modules which cover more than 40 categories such as adult sites, cybercrime, music and media sites or sites that are known to include spyware or bypass attacks. This provides unique opportunity to prevent attacks before happening.

Increasing productivity by reducing nonproductive internet usage, Pearl Echo offers realtime monitoring of all active accounts on your list of monitored users. You can set the software to prompt a warning message in case of an illegal encounter by a user or set it to warn the administrator of the event along with attempted URL, IRC (IM/Chat) text or email and attachment if any. The administrator can then take immediate action on that user, which takes two minutes to propagate.

Pearl Echo Suite is priced per managed machine beginning at $79 per workstation with volume discounts as low as $20 per workstation. Special discounts are given to government and educational institutions.
