There is more to managing your network and your employees’ Internet usage than setting site filters. You need a Internet connection monitor / Internet usage monitor to be able to monitor and track the “what, where, who, and how long” for your business Internet usage, as well. iPrism gets you that information in two ways:
- As an Internet connection monitor to gauge how much bandwidth is used and how much time is spent browsing.
- As an Internet usage monitor to help you determine which sites are accessed and by which users.
Because iPrism Internet connection monitor / Internet usage monitor software already monitors every single packet of traffic on your network, incoming and outbound, there are no lapses or gaps for monitoring and reporting – all network usage information is made available to you.
iPrism collects exhaustive web statistics, for every IP address on your network, for every user name, for every content category, and for the network as a whole. iPrism Internet connection monitor alto covers the full mechanics of how your employees are utilizing your network:

- The amount of bandwidth used
- The size and kinds of files downloaded
- The number of site and page hits
- The amount of time spent on the Internet
- When connections are initiated and ended
iPrism Internet connection monitor software helps you identify how your network resources are being spent.
iPrism works as an Internet usage monitor by actively collecting data on users, filtering profiles, and categories of URLs. This goes beyond a Internet connection monitor by supplying information on how sites are rated according to iPrism’s URL database and in what category the site belongs. iPrism moves beyond Internet filtering by helping you find specific information about what employees are doing on the Internet – both allowed and blocked actions.
- The most accessed pages for the entire network
- The number of pages visited by a user
- The URLs of sites and pages visited by the user
- The time spent on the internet
- Actions taken by iPrism, such as blocking the request, passing the request after an override, or no action at all
- IM/P2P sessions, IP addresses, and durations
iPrism’s advantage for Internet connection monitor and Internet usage monitor is in effective reporting. Reports can be configured to cover the entire network, a subset of IP addresses, user profiles, or user names. Reporting can show the top 100 sites accessed on your network, the users who spend the most time on the network and what they’re viewing, and what categories of sites are being accessed. Each iPrism filter appliance has these reporting features built-in, so Internet connection monitor and Internet usage monitor reports are available immediately. iPrism also supports the Enterprise Reporting Server, a standalone reporting server which works with multiple iPrism filters, across distributed networks, so that even if you have multiple locations and multiple iPrism filters, you can have a single, centralized reporting mechanism for your whole network, while still being able to drill down to individual users, IP addresses, and actions.
iPrism’s Internet connection monitor / Internet usage monitor reporting helps you monitor and assess what your business network is being used for and how network resources being used. Utilizing iPrism as an Internet connection monitor and an Internet usage monitor enables you to know how your network resources are being used, and this information is provided clearly and relevantly through easy-to-configure reporting.
