I evaluated Faronics Insight and immediately purchased it aer my
attempts to bypass it failed. When I saw that students could not figure
a way around it, I knew I had a solution that truly put me in control.
e previous soware solutions we tried did not give teachers the
control they wanted, the constantly crashing computers and network
lag impacted the students, and IT did not like the amount of network
bandwith that was being generated. I am happy to say that none of
these issues exist with Faronics Insight.
