Primary School Monitoring

[icechris]

Hello,

We've been exploring options for improving our monitoring in light of KCSIE 2023 and were looking for some feedback regarding our two preferred choices at the moment from people who are using them.

 

We're currently considering Securus 360 vs Senso Cloud and feel there are pros for each of them for our situation. We have students using Chromebooks and iPads, both will cope with the Chromebooks fine but we're more interested in the iPad solutions. As I understand it, the Securus one uses a VM to recreate the searches being made by the iPads? While the Senso one uses a custom browser which can then view the traffic that way.

 

Does anyone have experience with either of them and are able to let us know how well they work with iPads?

 

Thanks

We are using Senso - The browser is deployed as a custom app and I disabled the use of Safari from the MDM which forces the use of their app for web browsing. Once the browser is opened you are prompted to log in via Microsoft/Google.

 

Works well, as long as the pupils close the app down after they use it and not just leave it open for the next person to use.

This sounds interesting. Is there an extra cost associated with having the Senso iOS app or does it come included as standard?

You get it with the iOS license, per device.
