Where Veriato winsForensic session recording
The difference that matters
Logs record what happened. WorkMonitor proves nobody edited them.
A hash-chained trail of access, change and export with the investigator’s own reads recorded — evidence built for the day a finding is contested, on the platform that runs your workforce.

What an investigation costs, and whether its evidence holds up
workmonitor.vsActivity-logging and insider-risk tools
5differences, worked through below
Analyst hours per case
With WorkMonitor
One append-only trail of access, change and export, fed to your SIEM and webhooks, so the case starts assembled.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
Evidence assembled by hand from separate consoles, exports and screenshots.
Evidence that survives a challenge
With WorkMonitor
The trail is hash-chained, 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 trace that rows were deleted — the first thing opposing counsel tests.
A finding that gets contested
With WorkMonitor
Every access is logged, investigators included, with a dispute route and human review — what a regulator or tribunal asks to see first.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
The investigation ran entirely outside anything the subject could see, so the challenge lands on the investigator.
One more console to license
With WorkMonitor
Security evidence inside the platform that already runs productivity, timesheets and payroll, licensed per person rather than per endpoint.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
A separate tool with its own login, its own seat count and its own idea of an incident.
Value between incidents
With WorkMonitor
The same deployment prices the week’s shortfall, shows who is overloaded and feeds payroll, so the spend works on the days nothing goes wrong.
Activity-logging and insider-risk tools
The console earns its keep when there is an incident, and sits idle when there is not.
The question we get asked
Our investigations depend on collecting quietly. Does telling people defeat the purpose?
It rules out one class of investigation and strengthens another. Covert collection is not available here at all. What replaces it is evidence built to survive challenge — hash-chained, append-only, with the investigator’s own access recorded — which is the property that matters when a finding is contested rather than when it is gathered.
What We See — every person's own view of their record

Switching
Bringing your Veriato 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. There is no dedicated Veriato preset yet, so expect to line the columns up once rather than not at all.
The columns your export needs to line up with
- date
- minutes
- project
- task
- note
Six columns, mapped once on the first import. Rows that cannot be normalised still pass through, so the importer reports exactly which ones need attention rather than rejecting the file.
After the import
Where your Veriato history lands
Imported hours sit on the same ledger as everything captured after them, so last quarter’s cost and margin read the same way as next quarter’s. Corrections append with an author and a reason rather than overwriting, which is what lets you answer why a number changed long after anyone remembers.
Integrity — anomalies flagged for a person to weigh
When Veriato is the better answer
Deep forensic session recording for investigations is the requirement, and covert collection is acceptable in your jurisdiction.
If that is the deciding requirement, buy that instead.
Questions
Veriato alternatives: what managers ask
Answered about what WorkMonitor does, including where the answer is no.
- Does WorkMonitor support covert or undisclosed monitoring?
- No. The agent is visible, consent is recorded against a policy version, and subjects can see their own record. If covert collection is a requirement and is lawful where you operate, this is the wrong tool.
- How do I move my Veriato data into WorkMonitor?
- Export it as CSV and the importer maps it onto our columns — email, date, minutes, project, task, note. There is no dedicated preset for this vendor yet, so the columns get lined up once on the first import. Session recordings are not imported and cannot be. The time series comes across, and the forensic surface here is the append-only trail from that point on.
- Does WorkMonitor record sessions for forensic review?
- No continuous session recording. The forensic surface is the append-only trail of access, change and export, plus integrity signals — a different kind of evidence, weaker on replay and stronger on proving it was not edited.
- What is the best Veriato alternative for HR and legal investigations?
- For HR and legal, one built for the hearing rather than the replay. WorkMonitor keeps a hash-chained trail where a deleted row shows, logs every read including the investigator’s, and exports a case file for the decision that gets challenged — evidence designed to be produced, not just collected.
- Is monitoring like this legal where we operate?
- It depends on the jurisdiction, and there is written guidance by jurisdiction plus per-region capture policy and versioned consent. The mechanisms are shipped; the lawfulness of a specific programme is a question for your own counsel.
- What does WorkMonitor cost for an investigations team?
- The tamper-evident audit log, consent evidence and SSO are on Enterprise, on custom terms. Capture, the policy engine and the employee transparency view are on every plan, so a pilot can start on two free seats.

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.
