KeepActive

hides the agent from the process list and times its uploads so nothing looks suspicious — renamed from Kickidler in 2025.

one of the few genuinely air-gapped options here, mid-rebrand, with no price you can see.

the vendor documents the hidden mode carefully: 'the grabber component can be turned into completely invisible mode for a user', and selecting hidden mode means 'grabber will be hidden from the launched processes'. it goes a step further than most — data transmits continuously rather than in bursts, the vendor explains, 'so the employees won't notice any suspicious data usage or background processes'. that is concealment designed against a technically capable employee, not just an inattentive one. a vendor article is titled covert employee monitoring.

the deployment options are the genuine differentiator. keepactive on-premise exists, and so does a local version with no internet access at all — a fully air-gapped install. among fourteen candidates, that combination is rare, and for a classified or otherwise isolated environment it may be the only workable answer on this page.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

one of the few genuinely air-gapped options here, mid-rebrand, with no price you can see.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
