In
this era of globalization, everything is easily accessible. From
accessing the information to downloading the software, almost
everything is just a click away. This world has been shrunk to a
small room, and the credit for this scenario goes to the internet
technology. Yes, we are talking about the groundbreaking technology
that is simply known as the internet or net or even 'web' at times.
With
the advent of World Wide Web (WWW) in the late 90s, it became evident
that this technology has a bright future ahead. After globalization,
internet, and numerous developments in wireless communications
technology, we finally wind up here, i.e., today.
At
present, we are just one click away from accessing tons of
information and multimedia as well. We don't rely on computer systems
for accessing the net because we now have smartphones, tablets, etc.
In
today's globally competitive world, everything has become easy. And
that is the best as well as the worst thing about this world.
Nowadays, we have millions of downloadable software available on the
internet. It is almost impossible to differentiate between the good
ones and the bad ones. It all depends on the promotion of your
product. The better you promote, the better are the sales. But to
maintain the increasing graph of your sales chart, you should focus
more on providing quality to the people.
Anything
that is preceded by the word 'free' becomes automatically
interesting. Yes, interesting, only for a short period. As already
mentioned above, the quality of your product is what ultimately
attracts the consumers. In this article, we are going to discuss the
revolutionary technology known as remote monitoring and control and
about its free version as well.
In
recent years, predictive maintenance technology has been completely
transformed, and the credit goes to 'remote monitoring and control'.
Many IT outsourcing companies provide remote monitoring and
management software to their clients. This way, it becomes easier for
the clients to manage their infrastructure as well as monitor the
activities of their employees.
As
per the new trend, some of the companies have been offering remote
monitoring software as freeware. Yes, freeware, that means no cost is
charged for using the services of this software. This freeware is not
exactly free as there are different versions of this software
available for download.
Some
websites are charging the people for using the premium version of the
software, but the basic version has always been free. As we know that
ever coin has two sides, so there are advantages as well as
disadvantages associated with this remote monitoring freeware. But,
in this case, the cons outweigh the pros. Here are the disadvantages
associated with this freeware:
- InstabilityThe remote monitoring freeware is often referred as a 'spyware'. It is because of its ability to spy on numerous systems. It can be efficiently used to monitor the internet usage, as well as the online activities of the employees. Due to the various features embedded in this software, it can become unstable at times. This is dangerous because it can have serious consequences related to data management.
- IneffectiveIt is almost impossible to monitor each and every online activity of the employees. Only those online activities that are carried out on the work systems can be monitored. It is difficult to track the activities that are carried out using different devices like tablet, pads, and smartphones.
