It has great features: keylogging, screenshot recording, user lockout, usb lockout, and most of these can be configured based on content (of a website), keystrokes, or even time of day. > > **Cons**: It only works sometimes. In the most basic tests, it worked fine. I type something in a document or into a browser, and the software tracks it. Under other conditions, it didn't work consistently. If I left a document, did something else, and then came back to the document, the software might or might not record it. Same with a browser. Open the browser and type something in it; it works fine. Change tabs, windows, etc.; it's hit or miss. Most importantly, customer service was pretty much the same. Contact them to tell them you had a problem, and they're great. They respond right away and tell you how to bypass the computer's anti-virus. Contact them again with screenshots and details to show that the antivirus is not the problem, and they get rude, condescending, and blame everything on you. The answer to every question is just "You don't know what you're talking about." They even tried to tell me that it was physically impossible for software to work sometimes and not others; that's just not how programming works. Of course, if that were the case, there would be no need for updates or bug fixes. > > Terrible. What works is great, but unfortunately the consistency is about 50%. Customer Service is non-existent beyond telling you how to bypass the anti-virus ----- ### "Use At Your Own Risk" — 2.0/5 > **Randal** | *24 August 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software was feature rich and did offer a lot of information. > > **Cons**: The install process is not as straightforward as I would have expected. It requires authorization so remote installs aren't really an option unless your employee will let them screen share during the process. Remote uninstall claims to be successful, but we found that it was still present and running. This has me concerned regarding privacy and security issues. It took our team nearly an hour to fully remove it, but still ended up wiping out all of our computers because we just couldn't trust having spyware in the healthcare field. Their support team was rude, defensive, condescending and less than helpful. > > Our issue with this company came down to trust and professionalism, both of which are lacking. ----- ### "Only works on desktop - Horrible Customer Service" — 2.0/5 > **Grant** | *26 October 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being that it is a cheaper option it works fine for desktop. The accuracy is off but it works in a pinch. > > **Cons**: It only tracks/reports on mobile and nothing else which clearly goes against what they advertise on their whole Home Page as of 10/26/23. The app you download is clearly visible to the mobile user.The features on desktop don't fully work as advertised.Buyer beware, no refunds. > > If you only need to use the tools for desktops and you are fine with not all the features working like they advertise then this could work for your environment. Otherwise, GO WITH ANY OTHER COMPEDTITOR where the feautes fully work, mobile support, and where the customer service want to help support their product and you. ----- ### "Sort of works, better options out there" — 3.0/5 > **Jorge** | *26 September 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a great list of features, it's easy to navigate and intuitive to learn to use without major reading or training. > > **Cons**: It should be a simple setup, but it is flagged by many AV vendors which makes it difficult to get all of the features running. I had to uninstall and reinstall many times, even after going through all the steps to avoid AV detection and tampering with software files and STILL didn't get all of the features running. Customer support was NOT helpful. They are very quick to point out it is NOT their fault and always blame it on the security software. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/101483/sentrypc) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
