Enterprise-Ready
Pearl Echo was designed with the enterprise in mind. The Pearl Echo Report Manager consists of over seventy five standard reports that can be customized for your existing Domain users and groups. The Pearl Echo Report Manager allows users to run reports interactively or to schedule reports to be automatically generated and distributed. For larger data handling needs, Pearl Echo optionally integrates with MS SQL Server and is interoperable with MS Exchange mail. If your organization includes a server-centric computing environment, keep in mind that Pearl Echo is the only Internet management software that is certified and fully functional in a Citrix® MetaFrame® & Microsoft Terminal Services environment. Pearl Echo also supports GPO for automatic and secure software deployment.

Grows with your Business
Pearl Echo is packed with features for the large enterprise but remains based upon the core needs of your growing business. Features like automated deployment, an intuitive standards-based administration console, server-optional setup and self-administering workstation agents allow Pearl Echo to meet the needs of any size organization.

Protects
Pearl Echo features a keyword blocking option which helps safeguard against the dissemination of personal or confidential information. Keyword checks extend to all supported e-communications - even to encoded e-mail attachments. Pearl Echo acts as the enforcement behind your organization's Acceptable Use Policy. All communications can be archived for rapid retrieval, protecting organizations from laws suits related to false termination, discrimination-based claims and regulation compliance.

Controls
Pearl Echo provides custom administrator-defined Allow and Block lists for instances where user content access needs to be limited. Pearl Echo also allows you to set various Internet access profiles based on time of day - perfect when you need to provide some flexibility for your day-extenders.

Network-Ready Out-of-the-Box
Managed users can be connected to your local area network, wide area network, or be completely detached from your private network. Pearl Echo runs as an independent service eliminating reliance on legacy proxy servers or integration issues with firewalls or multiple subnets. Pearl Echo's architecture scales well and allows you to monitor any form of Internet connection (wireless, dial-up, DSL, cable, FIOS, T-1, etc.). Pearl Echo manages Internet access by Windows user and group names. Administration is streamlined by optionally integrating into your Windows Domain or Stand-alone server structure. Unlimited access Profiles can be created to provide varying levels of management for your existing Directory users and groups.
