User Activity Player

User Activity Player plays back a user's step-by-step activity showing clear user intent with an intuitive interface. It combines screenshots with valuable metadata, bringing user actions to flip book like playback.

User Activity Player focuses on a single user activity list shown in a chronological order aligned with the respective screenshots. This allows for investigating user behavior, one activity at a time.

Navigation controls provide a video-like showcase of the actions conducted by the user, and an activity summary panel expose additional information.

User Activity Player is currently available for endpoint only. Your entitlement must include Proofpoint ITM license.
