It is always easy to review good products as they have a lot of advantages and minimum disadvantages. Following this postulate Spytech Spy Agent is one of the easiest programs to review as it holds the first position in our testing! So, let’s start.
The installation process of Stealth Edition of Spyagent is very simple, and takes only few seconds - the only thing you need to do is to launch the installation file, the program will do everything by itself.
After the installation the program asks you to create a password and shows you ‘Easy configuration and setup wizard’ that has only five steps (three of them are ‘Confirm Settings’, ‘Apply’ and ‘Finish’) that will help a user to make a ‘quick configure’ of the program. After finishing the ‘Easy configuration and setup wizard’ we are welcomed to see the main program screen that is really pleasant to look at – all the information is grouped into categories. All the categories have special icons that should be clicked if you want to view the intercepted information of this category. Great filtration possibility is the positive side of the program, the information can be viewed in groups, in one log, sorted by date, by time, by name, etc. The main program screen is also the place where from you can configure Spytech Spy Agent in a much more detailed way. The software has several configuration screens that are also grouped into categories and let the user configure even the smallest things of program behavior.
As for the log transfer options the log files can be transferred by three basic means – email, LAN and FTP. As for the program stealthiness level it is somewhere ‘in the middle’ – there are no files in Start menu, no processes in Task Manager and nothing in the ‘Add or remove programs’ menu, but the program folder was found by our team.
As for the interception 7.55.12 version of Spytech SpyAgent intercepts both sides of MSN, Yahoo and ICQ messengers, but only one side of conversations made in Skype and AIM is intercepted. The program also doesn’t record mouse clicks, system logon time and password. As for the good part of interception capabilities Spytech SpyAgent monitors all the file activities except file renaming and copying, and even records the system inactivity time.
The visual surveillance is great – all functions are implemented.
Parental control and filtering options are worth praising – both of the Parental Control options and all of the filtering ones except the ‘Ability to watch certain programs’ and ‘Several days report building’ are implemented.
Summing up we can say that Spytech Spy Agent Standard Edition will come in handy to all the users who value simplicity in use and functionality but pay less attention to stealthiness.
