Competitive Comparison

Why Choose ActivTrak Over Veriato?

Veriato is an employee monitoring and insider threat detection tool focused on cybersecurity and data loss prevention.

By contrast, ActivTrak’s workforce analytics solution is purpose-built to help organizations maximize productivity and optimize performance with reliable, accurate data.

Designed to understand and improve how work gets done

Gain deep insights into employee work patterns and provide actionable coaching guidance for managers.

Ensure reliable, accurate data collection

A reliable, lightweight agent provides consistent reporting and data accuracy without burdening IT resources.

Get a comprehensive view into online and offline activity

Integrate Outlook or Google Calendar to view offline meeting time alongside daily digital activity.

Take an employee-centric, privacy-first approach*

Build trust in transparent, ethical data use that avoids overly intrusive tactics such as camera access, video recording and email reading.

Leverage AI-powered, automatic activity classification

Classify over 80% of apps and websites as productive or unproductive from day one, drastically reducing the need for manual account maintenance.

Access pre-built reports for clear, actionable insights

Leverage intuitive dashboards with AI-powered insights, enabling quick decision-making and productivity improvements.

Built for insider risk management, not employee productivity

Lacks coaching or performance management features to increase productivity and efficiency.

Agent reliability and data accuracy issues

Frequent gaps in agent reporting result in incomplete or inaccurate information that requires manual intervention.

Gaps in activity data impact decision-making

Lack of offline activity data leaves large parts of the workday potentially unaccounted for.

Intrusive employee monitoring (keystroke logging, screen recording)

Relies on invasive monitoring methods that erode trust, impact morale and increase privacy exposure and legal risk.

Time-consuming manual classification of productive vs unproductive activity

Manual app and website classification creates significant administrative burden requiring countless hours and constant maintenance.

Lack of actionable insights and complex data interpretation

Manual review and complex data analysis make it time-consuming to uncover insights and take action.

Where Veriato falls short

Deploying Veriato is… difficult, to say the least. As an MSP, it has been a very manual process….when you have a large number of users with multiple devices, this proves very difficult to deploy along with your [Remote Monitoring and Management]. G2 review

…The upgrade was a pain; it needs to be more streamlined. Although it picks up most, if not all websites visited, you have to manually categorize all of them as productive/unproductive for the reporting feature, and this is very tedious. G2 review

The limitation regarding possible integrations, policy creations, and statistical visualizations in graphs could be more intuitive and fluid regarding usability and user experience. G2 review

No matter how many times we reached out for technical assistance, we could never get the system to function 100%. Basically, the only part that functions properly that shows us actual activity is the screenshots. The email features in the system don’t work. Capterra review

…Our IT support company could not get it deployed to our computers. It interfered with our digital security such that individual PCs crashed once it was installed… Capterra review

It takes a fair amount of effort to keep the system working. Frequent client recorder updates are required to keep pace with web browser updates. When browser updates get ahead of the corresponding Veriato updates, website recording stops. Capterra review
