For an additional $10 you can purchase a remote monitoring suite, allowing you to access the software from anywhere in the world (as long as you have an active internet connection). This is a great feature that is found in many higher priced pieces of software, though the additional $10 does take the price tag up to $40.

Using IamBigBrother

The software installs without issue, and once it's installed it runs and operates without complaint. We found the interface so easy to use that anyone could install this software and start using it without having to learn the menu's or seek a help file. That is a great thing, especially because IamBigBrother has very poor help documentation, not that you'll need it.

The virtues in this software come from its simplicity. This is the software the average mother or father needs if they want to watch what their children are doing- its no frills approach means that it runs quickly, without error, and does its job. During the time that we evaluated it we did not experience any significant slow-downs on our PC, nor did have any crashes as a result of the software.

Some may argue that there is other software that is better featured or more comprehensive, and that is a valid and true argument. However, this software easily accomplishes what most people need done. Chances are good that you don't need keystrokes logged and then automatically e-mailed to you, and considering that this software monitors usage statistics, IM conversations, e-mails, and more, there is no reason that the typical person won't find the usefulness within this software.

Conclusion

We recommend IamBigBrother because it's easy, unsophisticated, and it works. It has no expensive bells and whistles (outside of a remote monitoring addition), and it's base price of $30 is well within reach of just about anybody,
