We are considering reviewing the following

Definitely Netsupport school. We have rolled it out to our IT suite. The IT teacher finds it really easy to lock and control pupils screens. It does many more features too - have a check on the website

The support is amazing and on hand for any issues you may have.

Ah - so you are not wanting a teacher monitoring system - you want the system to do the monitoring for you....which narrows down the options. And you don't want something that gives lots of false positives. Netsupport has always seemed like a mature product....but too expensive for us.....we use RM Tutor (which is based on Netsupport - but without its logging and safety detection systems) They (probably others too) allow you to do a test install for a month - which gives you a pretty good way to judge how well it works.

Senso fulfills all then requirements. Few little bugs, but the support is good and they seem to be on top of most issues.

Netsupport DNA can do all those for you.

 

As IT managers we use DNA for all the above, then deploy NetSupport School in the IT sites for teachers to manage.

LanSchool can definitely take care of you here - PM'd you if you would like to arrange a demo.

Does sound like you want more of a safeguarding product than classroom management.

Smoothwall's moderated monitoring product might be best for you - the missing piece being WoL (which is an odd one that creeps into some old school classroom management products).

We define classroom management's "job" as helping teachers maintain student focus in class, while Safeguard Monitoring software is there to ensure long term welfare of students, and identify vulnerability before it happens.

WoL/Power management/Fleet tracking to us fits in neither of those boxes.
