Insight’s Show Teacher Workstation feature saved our labs when our projector broke down, broadcasting the instructor’s screen to every computer instantly. This prevented downtime and extra costs by keeping classes running smoothly.

Faronics Insight is a great product that helps teachers collaborate with the students. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it 11. It is very very powerful, you should try it out.

FAQs

How does Faronics Insight work?

Insight installs a Teacher Console on instructors’ devices and a Student App on classroom computers or student devices. Teachers can view live thumbnails, manage activities, and communicate instantly. For the Cloud version, IT administrators can deploy, update, and manage settings centrally through the Insight Cloud console

What’s the difference between Insight Cloud and Insight NXT (On-Premise)?

- Insight Cloud: No servers to manage, automatic updates, centralized policy control, and seamless Deep Freeze integration. Works across subnets, VPNs, and remote environments. IT Admins can also take advantage of other remote control tools like software patching, imaging, asset inventory, and power management.
- Insight NXT (On-Premise): Traditional deployment within a local network—ideal for labs or offline environments. Both offer the same classroom management experience; the Cloud version adds scalability and remote accessibility.

Which platforms does Faronics Insight support?

Insight supports teachers on Windows and macOS, while students can connect from Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android devices. This allows teachers to manage mixed-device classrooms effortlessly, and students to participate from virtually any platform.

Can teachers use Insight in hybrid or remote learning environments?

Yes. Insight Cloud allows teachers to monitor and interact with students anywhere—whether in the same room or working remotely—without requiring VPNs or complex network setups. Insight On-Premise does not support remote learning environments.

Is Faronics Insight compatible with Deep Freeze?

Yes. Insight Cloud is fully Deep Freeze–aware, meaning teacher settings, and class lists are retained even after a reboot on Frozen machines. This ensures a seamless teaching experience without reconfiguration

What are the key features teachers use most?

Faronics Deploy is hosted on AWS, leveraging their robust infrastructure for reliability and security. We use AES-256 encryption to protect your data, along with multi-factor authentication and regular security audits to safeguard your information.
