Trial phases
The best way to approach your trial is in a number of phases that help you evaluate the benefits of GFI WebMonitor in 30 days. We recommend the following plan:
| PHASE | Description |
|---|---|
|
Phase 1 - Day 0 to Day 8 Monitor the situation |
Set up GFI WebMonitor with the basic configuration as it comes out-of-the-box. This ensures that high risk and potentially unsafe material is blocked, but anything else is allowed. Using this set-up, monitor your current situation. GFI WebMonitor works behind the scenes to gather some essential reporting data that will be used later on in the trial. |
|
Phase 2 - Day 9 to Day 15 Analyze |
Have a look at the data gathered after one working week – what is the situation? Can you identify any problematic areas? Get a basic picture of what is happening in your company – you might be surprised! Analyze and distribute some reports to key stakeholders. |
|
Phase 3 - Day 16 to Day 25 Start taking control |
Now that you have a good idea of what is going on, introduce some limiting policies. |
|
Phase 4 - Day 26+ Increase scope |
Add more users selectively to get even more valid data. |
