ProxyInspector Enterprise Edition is a specialized corporate network traffic monitoring and employee internet tracking software developed by ADVSoft. It functions primarily as a log analyzer, extracting raw data from popular gateway firewalls and proxy servers to generate comprehensive, visual reports on how a company’s internet bandwidth is being utilized. Core Features & Functionality
Log-Based Traffic Analysis: Instead of actively intercepting real-time network packets, it reads and parses the historical log files generated by proxy servers to track internet usage.
Enterprise-Level Architecture: Unlike the Standard edition, the Enterprise Edition has no strict database size restrictions and supports arrays of multiple standalone or distributed proxy servers simultaneously.
Active Directory Integration: It seamlessly synchronizes with corporate Windows Active Directory, allowing administrators to map web traffic directly to actual employee names, departments, and user groups.
Advanced Behavior Reporting: The software creates detailed charts tracking user behaviors, including employee search engine queries, visited websites, and even specific videos watched on platforms like YouTube. Supported Gateway & Proxy Servers
The Enterprise Edition acts as a unified reporting layer across diverse network infrastructures, retrieving information from platforms such as: Squid Microsoft TMG 2010 / ISA Server (2000/2004/2006) Qbik WinGate & Ositis WinProxy Kerio Control / WinRoute Firewall Cisco ASA & Sophos UTM Primary Business Use Case
The software is targeted toward IT managers and corporate network administrators seeking data-driven insights into workplace productivity. Organizations deploy it to identify network bandwidth bottlenecks, minimize “cyberslacking” (unauthorized personal browsing during work hours), and audit data transfers to ensure company security policy compliance. Reports can be fully automated, printed, or exported directly into HTML formats for management review.
