Kaspersky Safe Kids is a full-featured, affordable parental monitoring system for desktop and mobile platforms that doesn't impose limits on the number of devices you can monitor.
McAfee Total Protection offers security and password management for all your devices. The no-limits VPN is an enticing extra, and identity monitoring is icing on the cake.
Cannot block individual apps and games on PCs

No social media tracking
Parental control programs for computers and phones have a variety of approaches to monitoring kids’ activity online, keeping track of their location, and regulating their screen time. Some install in stealth mode and spy on your connected kids, which is just creepy. Norton Family (previously called Norton Family Premier), on the other hand, encourages parents to engage with their children and make them aware of exactly what rules are in place.
Norton Family can supervise an unlimited number of devices and lets you monitor all of your kids activity from the web or from a parent option on the mobile app. The latest update takes away supervision for social media platforms and adds geofencing capabilities. Note that the program still can’t monitor PCs running Windows 10 in S mode or Macs.
