Best for employee monitoring and insider-risk tracking
Teramind records screens, activity and behaviour, with data loss prevention on the upper tiers. It publishes no dollar prices we could read, and recording keystrokes and messages needs care under local privacy law.
Who Teramind is for
- Fits if you need to monitor staff screens and flag risky behaviour
- Works for security teams that want cloud or self-hosted data
Who Teramind is not for
- Skip it if you want a published price, as the page shows local-currency seat prices only
- Not for you if you only want simple hours, as it is a monitoring product
- Watch out: keystroke logging and SIEM integration start on the UAM tier
- Watch out: recording screens, keystrokes and messages may need consent under local employment and privacy law
- Pricey if you need Enterprise or Government, which is quoted by sales
Why Teramind gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo dollar price could be read from the page, so it sits in the middle where nothing contradicts the category.
- CFree plan and trialA free trial with no card needed, but its length is not stated, and there is no free plan.
- CFeaturesScreen recording, activity tracking and behaviour rules, but keystroke logging and forensics start on the UAM tier and content-based DLP on the DLP tier.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Agents and rules need setting up and tuning.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb with Windows and Mac agents, cloud or self-hosted, and no integrations or phone apps on record.

Keep Teramind, or make your own?
Your call
A time tracker at its plainest is a start button, a stop button and a table of hours.
You could make the core of Teramind for yourself: time tracking and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Teramind’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Teramind?
Teramind is workforce monitoring software that records user activity on company computers, including apps, websites, email, file transfers and screens. Behavior rules score risk and block actions, and productivity reports and time tracking sit alongside the security tooling. It runs in the cloud or on your own servers across four tiers.
Worth knowing
- No dollar prices could be read: the pricing page shows per-seat prices in local currency, so none are recorded here.
- Pricing is per seat with a 5-seat starting point on the page's selector, and Enterprise and Government is quoted by sales.
- Keystroke logging, complete forensics and SIEM integration start on the UAM tier, and content-based DLP on the DLP tier.
- Recording screens, keystrokes and messages is invasive, so check local employee-monitoring and privacy law before deploying.
Key features
- Screen recording and live view
- Visual evidence capture with live playback, plus optional audio, full-text search of recordings and recording only during rule violations.
- Activity tracking
- Logs websites and applications, email, file transfers, keystrokes, clipboard use, printing and time tracking, with the depth set by the tier.
- Behavior rules and risk scoring
- Rules and policies flag insider threats and anomalies and score user risk; Starter has limited rules and UAM adds unlimited activity-based rules.
- Data loss prevention
- The DLP tier adds content-based rules, sensitive-data detection, redaction and blocking, with 200 pre-packaged rules.
- AI governance
- UAM and above record AI conversations and control data sent to AI tools, a feature set the vendor calls agentic AI governance.
- Cloud or self-hosted
- Customers log in to a cloud dashboard or a self-hosted portal, and the vendor lists Windows, Mac, Citrix and VMware support.
