Best for monitoring staff activity and insider risk
Veriato records email, chat, websites, screenshots and keystrokes and scores productivity for $18 a user a month. But it needs at least 5 users, the risk-scoring product needs 20 and a quote, and it is a monitoring tool, not a timesheet.
Who Veriato is for
- Fits if you need a record of staff activity for compliance and have 5 or more people
- Works for security teams that want risk scores on top of activity logs
Who Veriato is not for
- Skip it if you need timesheets or billing, because it's monitoring only
- Pricey if you add up the floor: 5 users at $18 is $90 a month
- Not for you if you want risk scoring without a quote, as that product needs 20 users
- Watch out: it captures keystrokes, screenshots and chats, so consent and local law need checking
Why Veriato gets a 2.0

- CValue for money$18 a user a month on annual billing, with a 5-user minimum. That's well above the $10 dearer quarter of time trackers and just under the $19 dearest tenth.

Keep Veriato, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Veriato you could make: time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 7 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $216 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft 365 among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
What this rests on. Veriato’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 Veriato?
Veriato is employee monitoring software sold in two products: User Activity Monitoring (UAM), which records on-site, remote and hybrid activity, and Insider Risk Management (IRM), which adds risk scoring and behavior analytics. It watches emails, chats, websites, applications, screenshots, idle time and keystrokes, and can be deployed in the cloud or on premises.
Worth knowing
- Only UAM shows a price; IRM requires a quote and at least 20 users.
- Monitoring covers keystrokes, screenshots and chats, so consent and local employment law need checking.
- Devices covered are Windows, Mac, Chrome and Android, according to the pricing FAQ; Linux is not listed.
- It is a monitoring product, not a timesheet or invoicing tool.
Key features
- Broad activity telemetry
- Records email, chat, websites, applications, screenshots, login and logoff, idle time, files, network activity and keystrokes.
- Productivity scoring
- Productivity scores and configurable reports and dashboards help show how on-site, remote and hybrid staff spend their time.
- Alerts and recording policies
- Alerting can be configured without a stated limit, and recording policies are flexible, with sensitive data detection and redaction.
- Privacy controls
- Websites can be blocked, redacted or set to not record, and an audit log tracks the actions of Veriato users.
- Insider risk scoring
- The IRM product scores risk per user and group, baselines user behavior and runs sentiment analysis.
