WFilter Enterprise

Keeping track of a network's traffic is a demanding job, especially if there are too many computers on the network and not enough bandwidth to go around. WFilter Enterprise can help you monitor any activity on your network and it gives you the possibility of enforcing your rules regarding bandwidth usage. The software can generate various reports and it is capable of alerting you in real time if someone overuses the available bandwidth, if they visit restricted websites or if they do anything that diminishes their productivity. The best part is that WFilter Enterprise can do everything from a single machine, so you won't need to install it on remote computers.

You can use WFilter Enterprise free of charge for 15 days, but you won't encounter any restricted functions during this period. Alternatively, you can opt for a free version, which comes with less features, but it doesn't have a price tag. The program works on Windows 2000 and all later versions, including the 2003 and 2008 Server editions.

The software's user interface is displayed on your default web browser. It consists of numerous sections in which you can view traffic statistics, online computers, real time alerts, current activities, set up recording blocking and alert conditions and much more. You can explore the interface's sections via navigation tabs, which are categorized in collapsible structures, on the left side of the interface.

WFilter Enterprise is quite flexible and efficient when it comes to setting up blocks, monitoring tasks or alerts. You can define one or more policies and assign them to individual computers. Each policy consists of a wide range of actions, which are carried out in certain conditions. For example, you can set the program to record titles or contents when someone sends or receives emails or to simply log the event. WFilter Enterprise can also perform these actions when someone uses an instant messenger, surfs the web or transfers files.

It is also possible to set up profiles which block web surfing in various ways, block specific applications, file transfers, email servers and more. Furthermore, you can generate detailed reports about bandwidth usage, sent emails, web surfing and other activities.
