Veriato has a different take on the whole employee tracking. It is divided into 2 parts naming – Veriato 360 and Veriato Recon. And it has the following features – Insider threat detection, employee monitoring, data loss prevention, forensic investigation, and much more. 

In my opinion, DLP (Data Loss Prevention) for cloud is the most useful feature of the lot, and it should be included in all of the employee monitoring software. As data is a very crucial part of any corporate and preventive measures must be taken to block it from hackers.
