What is CurrentWare
CurrentWare is a Windows-focused employee monitoring and endpoint control suite used to track user activity and enforce acceptable-use policies. It supports use cases such as monitoring application and website usage, controlling USB and device access, and applying web filtering to reduce security and productivity risks. The product is typically deployed by IT and security teams in small to mid-sized organizations that want on-premises control and reporting. It combines user activity monitoring with policy enforcement features that overlap with basic DLP and web security needs.
Broad endpoint control modules
CurrentWare includes multiple modules that cover activity monitoring, web filtering, and device/USB control in one suite. This can reduce the need to stitch together separate tools for visibility and policy enforcement. The controls are oriented around endpoint policy (e.g., blocking categories/sites or restricting removable media) rather than only time tracking.
On-premises deployment option
CurrentWare is commonly deployed as a self-hosted/on-premises solution, which can suit organizations with data residency or internal hosting requirements. On-premises deployment can also simplify integration with existing Windows domain and network controls. This approach differs from many monitoring tools that are primarily cloud-managed.
Actionable usage reporting
The product provides reporting on application usage and web activity that can support acceptable-use enforcement and internal investigations. Reports can help identify high-risk behaviors such as visits to blocked categories or repeated attempts to use restricted devices. This is useful for IT administrators who need operational visibility rather than only productivity scoring.
Limited advanced DLP depth
While it offers device control and web filtering, it is not positioned as a full enterprise DLP platform with deep content inspection and classification across endpoints, email, and cloud apps. Organizations needing advanced policy based on sensitive-data detection (e.g., regex/EDM/fingerprinting) may require additional tooling. The overlap with DLP is strongest around endpoint and peripheral controls.
Windows-centric endpoint focus
CurrentWare’s core capabilities are centered on Windows endpoints and local network management patterns. Mixed OS environments (macOS/Linux) or mobile device fleets may find coverage uneven depending on required controls. Buyers should validate platform support for all endpoint types in scope.
Not a full secure web gateway
Web filtering is primarily enforced at the endpoint level and is not equivalent to a full secure web gateway with cloud proxying, advanced threat protection, and broad network egress controls. Organizations with complex remote access and roaming user requirements may need a dedicated web security stack. Integration expectations should be set accordingly for enterprise web security architectures.
