Strategic Group Logo
"We use Fastvue Reporter for reporting company-specific information to our clients (we are an MSP) in a scheduled and controllable manner so that they can better monitor staff usage. The ability to segregate information on a per-company basis is very simple and easy to configure. "
Steve Griffiths
Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Strategic Group
"Fastvue Reporter is able to intelligently interpret the firewall's log files and extract detailed user activity on the web, during any particular timeframe. This produces clear reports that can be sent to safeguarding officers in real-time or on a schedule. "

"The best part for me is that once I set up the reports and who they go to, I am out of the loop totally. The department manager can parse through the report, run more detailed reports, and take action without involving me at all as a net admin. Site Clean made it even easier for the managers to understand (How do you explain what a CDN is to the accounting manager?)."
Andrew Reynolds
Network Administrator, Frasca Flight Simulation
