Knowing how frequently
a specific application is being used, will allow for both
effective trimming of software budgets and a realistic
predication of future software investments.
NetSupport DNA offers an Application Metering
component which reports back all applications used on
a target PC, detailing the time the application was both
started and finished and the actual time in use. Additionally,
when the data is viewed at "department" level,
summaries by frequency of use or by duration are shown.
Application usage can be restricted on target PCs by time
of day, for all users or usage can be limited to specific
nominated PCs. This information can be shown for any preferred
time-scale and also allows for further customization whereby
the collection frequency of activity information can be
specified.
In essence, Application Metering enables
the Operator to perform the following critical functions:
Monitor and Report current license usage levels of selected
applications.
To improve management effectiveness by controlling and
restricting application usage throughout the enterprise.
To ensure that application usage complies with corporate
policy, lists of Approved and Restricted applications
together with "apply" time frames for when restrictions
apply, can be created and enforced by the Operator.
Analysis and reporting by PC or Logged On User.
"...businesses
looking for an easily deployed desktop management
solution should place NetSupport DNA 2 high on their
list. It is far easier to use than many enterprise-level
products and yet provides a range of useful and
in some cases unique features and delivers them
at a very affordable price."
Monitor and Report current license usage levels of selected
applications.
