The new version includes enhancements for e-Safety, Chromebooks and Android support, as well as performance enhancements that make screen sharing up to 8X faster.
A leading classroom management platform, Faronics Insight is used by teachers and IT administrators to maintain control over their students' activities on school computers.
In 2015, as a testament to Faronics' dedication to keeping up with the ever-evolving technology needs of the education sector, Faronics Insight won the Tech & Learning award for Best Upgraded Product.
The 2016 upgrade and release of this new version brings with it several new features, including:
In addition, Faronics Insight 8.0 comes with key enhancements to the reporting server, with a focus on e-Safety. Now, environment safety can be monitored via alerts that allow admins to detect when banned words/keystrokes are entered into the system. The system sends a snapshot of the student's computer when an unauthorized word or keystroke is detected.
“We are very pleased with the additional improvements included with the new release of Insight 8.0,” said Heman Mehta, the Director of Product Management for Faronics. “The product is faster, students are safer online, and Insight has made significant strides in our Android and Chromebook Student offerings.
