Logging what happened, or proving the log was not edited
workmonitor.vsActivity-logging and insider-risk tools
If an admin covers their tracks
With WorkMonitor
The trail is hash-chained and append-only, so a removal breaks the chain and the break is detectable.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Deleting rows from a log table leaves no evidence that rows were deleted.
Who watches the investigator
With WorkMonitor
Every access to a person’s record is logged, investigators included, and surfaced to the subject.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Nobody. Investigative access looks identical to no access at all.
Tenant isolation
With WorkMonitor
Composite foreign keys make a cross-tenant row a database error rather than a code-review question.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Enforced in application code, which means enforced until somebody forgets.
When the subject pushes back
With WorkMonitor
A transparency view and a dispute route with human review — which is what keeps a programme lawful where it operates, and what a regulator asks to see.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Investigations run entirely outside anything the subject can see or contest, and a challenge lands on the investigator.
Feeding the security stack
With WorkMonitor
SIEM export, a typed v1 API and HMAC-signed webhooks, so this is a source rather than a destination.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
One more console with its own login and its own notion of an incident.

When Teramind is the better answer
You need full DLP with real-time blocking. We produce egress signals, not enforcement, and that is a genuine difference.
If that is the deciding requirement, buy that instead. Nothing on this page is worth reading if the unflattering half is missing from it, which is also why every capability above carries its real status rather than a tick.
Switching
Bringing your Teramind history across
Nobody switches tools if it means abandoning a year of history. Export yours as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns: email, date, minutes, project, task, note. There is no dedicated Teramind preset yet, so expect to line the columns up once rather than not at all.

Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
Free for two seats. No card, and no sales call to sit through.
