Feature Set:  

PC Spy's reporting is nothing more than "Notepad" displaying a text file. The product does monitor keystrokes and captured screen shots, but that is all. The log file names, which the user sees, are extremely cryptic. After studying the log files for a while, you can determine they are made up of date and time, but the interface is extremely poor compared to all of the other products.

PC Spy does have a banned URL list. This means that if someone is trying to go to a website that has been specifically banned, the browser is shutdown, but there is no warning or notice of what happened.

Ease of Use:  

Even though there are not a lot of features, the ones that are present are not the easiest to figure out.

Ease of Installation:  

The product is easy and fast to install

Monitoring Effectiveness:  

The product does monitor keystrokes and captured screen shots, but that is all.

Help/Documentation:  

The way the Help has been implemented from a user design perspective is extremely hard to read. The text that is there is poor at best. There is no context sensitive Help available.

Overall, PC Spy needs a lot of work to be able to compete against the other spyware/monitoring software in the marketplace.
