My personal opinion of the monitor in short is this piece of software is invaluable. I have caught several employees using business PCs for personal business using it as well as 1 employee 'cooking the books' for personal gain.

REFOG Employee Monitor is a fantastic piece of software. Since installing I have not lost one single Human Resource proof case proving employees abusing the internet policy and being terminated for it…It allows me to leave the internet wide open for the 'good' employees to be able to check email, quickly login to Facebook, etc. only they know that all sites are being recorded. I am extremely pleased

I bought the program as an impulse buy. Expectations on these purchases is very low… a bit of fun for a few days and then invariably such programs fade into disuse as I gets on with my day to day professional life. Installation was easy and the program seemed to work. I installed it on the reception computer and noticed an improvement in her work almost instantaneously. I tested the steath mode with a casual employee and discovered shortfalls that could never have seen the light of day. This program has continued to be used.
REFOG Employee Monitoring FAQ
What is REFOG employee monitoring software and what does it do? 
REFOG is Windows-based employee monitoring software that records screenshots, keystrokes, application usage, visited websites, and file operations on company PCs and terminal servers. The product line includes REFOG Employee Monitor for local-network PCs, REFOG Terminal Monitor for Windows Terminal Server and RDS sessions, and REFOG Personal Monitor for cloud-based remote access. Logs from Employee Monitor and Terminal Monitor stay on your own network, giving administrators full data ownership.
Is employee monitoring with software like REFOG legal in the US, UK, and EU?
Yes — employee monitoring is legal in the US, UK, and EU when employers notify staff in advance and have a documented business purpose. US federal law (ECPA) permits workplace monitoring under the business-use exception, while GDPR and UK GDPR require a lawful basis, transparency, and a Data Protection Impact Assessment. Several US states, including Connecticut, Delaware, and New York, require written notice. REFOG stores logs on your own local network, which simplifies GDPR data-residency compliance.
Do I need to tell employees they are being monitored?
In most jurisdictions, yes — employees must be informed in writing before monitoring starts. A signed acceptable-use policy or handbook clause is the standard approach and is required under GDPR, UK GDPR, and several US state laws. REFOG Employee Monitor runs silently on the endpoint so the workflow is not disrupted, but the legal obligation to disclose monitoring sits with the employer, not with the software.
How much does REFOG Employee Monitor cost?
REFOG Employee Monitor and REFOG Terminal Monitor use one-time per-seat licensing rather than a recurring SaaS subscription. Employee Monitor is priced per monitored Windows PC, Terminal Monitor per Windows Terminal Server, with volume discounts for larger deployments. Because logs stay on your own network, there are no per-user cloud-storage fees. A free trial is available for evaluation, and current tiers and bulk quotes are published on the REFOG pricing page.
How long does it take to deploy REFOG across a small office?
Under 30 minutes for most small businesses. REFOG Employee Monitor auto-deploys to domain-joined Windows PCs through Active Directory Group Policy or any MSI tool such as SCCM or Intune, so a 25-seat rollout is a single GPO push and a reboot cycle. REFOG Terminal Monitor installs on the Windows Server host in roughly five minutes and immediately captures every RDP session. No per-user agent configuration is required.
Can I view employee activity in real time with REFOG?
Yes. REFOG Employee Monitor streams live screenshots, active windows, and current applications from monitored Windows PCs to the administrator console over the local network, and multiple users can be viewed side-by-side. REFOG Terminal Monitor does the same for each RDP session on a Windows Terminal Server. Historical keystrokes, chats, web history, and application logs remain available on local storage for later review or incident investigation.
How does REFOG prevent data leaks and insider threats?
REFOG Employee Monitor and REFOG Terminal Monitor mitigate insider threats by logging keystrokes, file access, USB events, email, chat, and web activity on Windows endpoints, creating a forensic trail for investigations. Because all recorded data is stored on the employer's local network rather than a third-party cloud, evidence cannot be exposed through a vendor SaaS breach — a common requirement for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 environments.
Does REFOG work on Windows Terminal Server, RDS, or Citrix?
Yes. REFOG Terminal Monitor is a dedicated product for Windows Server with Remote Desktop Services. It records each RDP session separately — screenshots, keystrokes, applications, and web history — and attributes events to individual Active Directory user accounts rather than the host machine. It supports Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022, which makes it suitable for thin-client, Citrix, and virtual-desktop deployments where per-PC agents are not an option.
Can REFOG monitor remote and hybrid employees?
Yes, through product selection. For fully remote staff who never connect to the office LAN, REFOG Personal Monitor sends screenshots and activity logs to your refog.com account so you can review them from any browser. For hybrid staff who log into a corporate Windows Terminal Server via RDP, REFOG Terminal Monitor captures every session centrally. Office-based PCs on the local network use REFOG Employee Monitor.
What technical skills does REFOG Employee Monitor require to set up?
REFOG Employee Monitor is designed for standard Windows administrators and requires no scripting or specialized security expertise. The agent deploys through Active Directory Group Policy, SCCM, Intune, or manual MSI install, and the central console runs on any Windows PC or server on the LAN. Initial setup — installing the console, selecting the storage location, and deploying the agent — typically takes under an hour on a small network.
