GOOD:
Easy-to-use, good URLs interception, can be used for remote monitoring
BAD:
No chat and emails interception
SUMMARY:
Balanced the way it can be used for monitoring your home PC, privacy of your kids and workstations of your employees. Its interface containing the explanations of all the functions and overall easiness-to-use allows us to recommend it to all the groups of users.
INSTALLATION & INTERFACE
The installation of The Best Keylogger is pretty typical and you will pass through only these screens:
Welcome → EULA → Confirm → Finish
However the software requires the latest version of .NET Framework to be installed on your PC, so please keep this in mind before starting the setup.
As for the interface it looks nice, however we would prefer it to be a bit more colorful as its primary colors are dark grey and white. As for the easiness-to-use it is really good – all the information is grouped into categories and can be almost always found on the first try. One more good thing in its interface is that each checkbox has its explanation in popup window that can be accessed by clicking the ‘I’ sign. Near the checkbox.
OS SUPPORT
According to the information from the official The Best Keylogger website it supports Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. We tested it on both Windows XP and Window 7 and had an error message during the installation on the first one, stating that Windows cannot update one of the system files. However the program worked without any glitches and problems, so as it did on Windows 7. In this section The Best Keylogger gets 55 of 80 points.
SECURITY
In this section The Best Keylogger shows almost perfect results. Its files are hidden greatly, it can be accessed by either typing the keyword or pressing the hotkey combination, it is password protected and its warning message can be easily changed and configured. The only thing from this section The Best Keylogger doesn’t have is its inability to be automatically uninstalled on a pre-specified date or after a period of time. 70 out of 80 points in total.
MONITORING
The Bets Keylogger perfectly monitors System log on/off and inactivity time. The same can be said about screenshot-making – user can set both their quality and making time, choose whether to photo full screen or active window only, to make screenshot on every mouse click or not. It also logs all the keystrokes typed, clipboard content, and the majority of file activities: documents printed, created, deleted and renamed. The Bets Keylogger also logs the mouse clicks, but this information in the way it is currently implemented has no use for the user, so the software receives no points here. In total – 239 out of 300 points.
ONLINE MONITORING
In this section The Best Keylogger shows pretty poor results. It logs URLs intercepted in all the browsers except Safari, however these are the only functions implemented in this section. It doesn’t log chat conversations, emails and cannot make screenshots of visited websites. 69 of 193 points.
REPORTS
Unlike the previous section this one is the one The Best Keylogger shows really good results. Not only it can send logs by all the means except LAN, it also can filter them in different ways and auto-clear. It is also important that The Best Keylogger can be set to monitor only pre-specified users or applications. 111 of 150 points.
OTHER
In this section The Best Keylogger receives points for such parental control features as ability to block certain websites and applications running, and send an email each time a word from a pre-specified list is typed. It is also available not only in English, but in Swedish also, that gives the software additional points. In total – 51 of 66.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Best Keylogger is the software balanced the way it can be used for monitoring your home PC, privacy of your kids and workstations of your employees. Its interface containing the explanations of all the functions and overall easiness-to-use allows us to recommend it to all the groups of users.
