What do you like best about Syteca?

Ekran System's RDS Recording application is an outstanding tool for any organization looking to strengthen its remote desktop monitoring and security efforts. The software offers a seamless and intuitive user experience, providing comprehensive session recordings and in-depth visibility into all RDS activities.

One of the standout features is its ability to capture not just the video recordings but also metadata, making it easier to track, search, and analyze user sessions. The real-time alerts and customizable reporting options are invaluable for maintaining security and ensuring compliance, giving us the control and insight needed for effective oversight.

Moreover, Ekran's solution integrates effortlessly with our existing IT infrastructure, offering scalable deployment options that fit our growing needs. The level of support provided by their team has also been exceptional, ensuring we were up and running quickly with minimal effort.

Overall, Ekran Software's RDS Recording application has exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s reliable, efficient, and essential for any organization serious about security and monitoring in an RDS environment.

Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

At times, Ekran can be resource-intensive, particularly during large-scale recording sessions or when monitoring numerous endpoints simultaneously specially the storage. Optimizing performance to reduce system load would make it more efficient in resource-constrained environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefits include enhanced security, peace of mind, better compliance management, and overall improved operational efficiency. It has become an integral part of our security strategy, giving us the visibility and control we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syteca?

There are many software that claim to do what Syteca does but no other software provides the exhaustive feature set as this one. The support we received from the customer support team was very helpful to address few system issues. The engineers were knowledgeable and they were easy to get hold off. The software itself was very to deploy and implement. We only use this software on limited number of systems so I cant speak about the scalability of this solution.

What do you like best about Syteca?

Pre-sales support is excellent. We had an issue during our proof of concept trial and support resolved the issue provided an update before the end of the proof of concept.

Easy installation and deployment. I was able to complete the installation and deploy clients to over 150 workstations and servers in 3 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

Reporting is limited to pre-defined reports. They are open to request for other reports and did add new a few summary reports exportable in excel with only column headers for us to use with another reporting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to Ekran System, we were using multiple solutions for user activity monitoring all which had less data retention and not as easy to search. With these previous solutions, to gather information to report on employee or vendor support activity was a multi-day task and required showing coorelation between information from multiple systems. Ekran System provides one place and only takes an hour or two at most to gather the data. The big benefit will be the summary excel report data which all us to do analysis of user activity, application used and websites accessed. This will help determine some medians for users based on position and location that will be provide to manager for them to be able to praise the high performers, coach those who fall below and identify those that only appear to working.

What do you like best about Syteca?

The combination of comprehensive services and easy in use. Ekran has a user-friendly interface and set of useful features like real-time monitoring, interactive dashboards, variety of password management settings, customizable alerts and automated notifications that all help us timely monitor and react to potential incidents. With Ekran, we no longer fear malicious actions caused by careless insiders. The Ekran solution even allows to record user sessions and check it in case of any potential risky occasion. Furthermore, we can always control security of the corporate infrastructure and analyze the monitoring results via numerous reports and interactive dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

Though I highly recommend Ekran for corporate security, the variety of features and ability to customize it, can be frustrating in case your business is strictly organized and your stuff needs time to learn it. However, Ekran has large knowledge base, where you can find any necessary information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ekran helped us more efficiently monitor user activities and prevent insider threats in real-time mode. It is especially beneficial in our case, when we have remote working employees and third-party contractors, who have access to our corporate infrastructure. One more crucial benefit is a robust reporting tool with dashboards that allow us instantly track sessions progress and analyze overall productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syteca?

As a Healthcare company we need to mitigate numerous risks to secure our sensitive data, protect our intellectual property as well as keep a high level of corporate reputation. That`s why we were searching for a sophisticated cybersecurity solution, which could apply our requests, reliably protect our infrastructure and align with industry compliance standards.

After considering several solutions, we chose Ekran System. Firstly, it has extensive functionality that completely covers all our needs. With Ekran we can effectively secure our corporate servers, monitor user activities, identify and promptly respond to potential incidents through auto-notifications, alerts and preset restrictions. It provides us with enhanced visibility into user activities, either internal employees or third-party accesses. We`ve implemented user groups with flexible configuration of access rights, automatic credential management and obligatory two-factor authentication. This represents just one facet of our successful experience with Ekran System. Secondly, Ekran aligns with all HIPAA security rules, a crucial milestone in meeting our objectives. A third benefit, which I personally appreciate, is is its extensive knowledge base documentation. Whether you seek a detailed user guide or an expert article to gain a deeper understanding of specific aspects, Ekran's documentation is comprehensive and readily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

When utilizing any solution, there's often a desire to enhance or expand its capabilities. The Ekran team has consistently maintained open communication with us and has promptly addressed our requests for improvements or additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped us automate access management and simplify user activities monitoring. With Ekran System we also facilitated all security regulations of HIPAA compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syteca?

We had internally evaluated many platforms with the goal in mind of reducing the risk involved with 1st party and 3rd party vendor access, limit IP theft, and offer a “camera” into user activities and behavior.

Main goals were to be able to deploy this globally across a mix of workstations, desktops, servers, jumpservers, and DaaS (Citrix/VMWare View). The Ekran system was the only one we tested that had was non invasive and did not interfere with the end user experience of our DaaS users. A single MSI file and 3 peices of information was all that was needed to get the system deployed once the alerts and pre-flight configurations were completed.

We noticed the other software vendors in this space were too expensive and not innovating enough and were rocking the same under the hood. After speaking with the Ekran team and product manager I felt that my suggestions were not only considered but actively put into the produc.

My team was very happy and surprised as how well Ekran integrated all the rich user metadata into our SIEM platform. This off label use is good as Ekran agent pulls in a lot of rich meta data that helps improve our cyber security posture.

The connection manager is also something that caught us by surprise and almost went unnoticed. We were able to lock down a vendor jumpserver (bastian server) turn on the “Ekran cameras”, and provide access to websites and internal RDP and SSH systems without the user ever having knowledge of the credentials. Very slick! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

The rules and alerts system is very robust but can be confusing. When we first deployed the platform we mistakenly created overlapping rules and alerts that actually broke some intended functionality. I felt that some internal logic should have existed that should have prevented us from being able to break some of the alerts in that fashion.

We also had some bugs with the MacOS agent with some missing gaps capturing text entered in certain applications. It was minor issue and happy it was eventually corrected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to control access to certain systems and record all activity when accessing these sensitive systems.

We are able to export a tresure trove of data (meta data and screen grabs) that identify the user and the action. Ultimatly as a detterant to IP theft and a way to share evidences to cyber and legal forensics easily.

We are able to hold 3rd party vendors (and internal staff) accountable for errors and omisions in the enviroment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syteca?

Financial institutions have a lot of sensitive data that requires stringent security measures. As a team lead of the IT department, I must ensure that our systems are adequately protected from cybersecurity threats. Ekran System completely fulfills our requirements for user monitoring. Its PAM capabilities provide us with control over critical privileged accounts and endpoint accesses, whether it involves internal privileged users or third-party users, thereby mitigating potential risks. Moreover, Ekran employs a lightweight, non-invasive agent which is seamlessly integrated with our existing infrastructure and requires minimal setup time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

For future we would like to have more options in productivity monitoring and user behavior analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syteca?

I really like this tool, because it сan do anything you need regarding the network security, granting accesses to different categories of users, tracking and responding to potential incidents or monitoring activities of your employees. Ekran has a lot of useful features like to record and play user session, customizable alerts, automatic notifications, two-factor authentication and so on.

It has robust analytical capabilities, which includes classical reports and dashboards to view monitoring results in real-time.

One more thing I appreciate is customization. You can set complex rules for unique user activity scenarios such as opening a specific application, visiting a particular website, or typing certain words. Or set a tree view structure of secrets to gain control over most critical privileged accounts. It gives more control and comfort in using this solution.

I can appoint Ekran as a best choice due to quality-price balance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syteca?

There are no specific problems in our experience till this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syteca solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a solution that could cover our needs in securing our corporate infrastructure, monitoring user activities, detect potential incidents and timely respond on them.
