eMonitor vs Passguard

eMonitor provides workforce insights into productivity, attendance, application use, and compliance through consent-based monitoring. It tracks work time, breaks, overtime, clock-ins and outs, absences, and shifts; productivity scores use application activity and active time with customizable categories. Screenshot capture can be scheduled, blurred for sensitive content, and restricted by role. Dashboards, scheduled reports, custom dashboard building, and real-time alerts help teams review activity. The maker says employees are notified before monitoring begins, can see their own data, and are monitored on work devices during working hours. The agent can be deployed to Windows, macOS, Linux, or Chromebook devices. The service is cloud-hosted by default; Professional and Enterprise offer US, EU, and India data residency, while on-prem deployment is available for Enterprise customers with specific compliance requirements. There is no free plan, but a 7-day trial is listed. Starter starts at $3.90 a month billed annually. The maker says eMonitor is not designed for deskless workforces without computers or as a dedicated forensic data-loss-prevention platform.

Passguard is a web and API platform for monitoring infostealer activity connected to company domains and other verified assets. It looks for infected devices and stolen sessions on criminal marketplaces, then checks whether stolen access is still active; the company says it revokes active access before it can be abused. The platform presents infections, traces, target lists, cracked passwords, breaches and leaks, with alerts and reports for investigations. Monitoring begins after assets are verified, with no agent installation or access to customer systems required, according to Passguard. Its REST API offers thirteen endpoints per domain for SIEM, SOAR or product integrations, and a mock server provides synthetic data for development without a key. Passguard says customer data is hosted in the European Union on European infrastructure, it is GDPR compliant, and it never pays cybercriminals for data; ISO 27001 certification is in progress. There is no free plan, but a quick scan is available without signup and a team-led proof of concept can use a customer's assets. The Essential plan costs €250 a month on an annual contract, excluding VAT. API access is listed at €1,500 a month.
