Funny you mention Arisotle, I was just having a conversation about this the other day... I did some work with it back when I worked for a school district. To be honest I only monitored it, I didn't do the implementation, but it seemed to be fairly comprehensive.
As you said, it monitors the machines it is installed on and is controlled\viewed through a central web interface in any IDS like manner where it shows events of interest as alerts, It basically monitors for any keywords being present (re: dirty words) so it will catch them in any application where they may be displayed. It also shows the applications being used, can alert on a banned application, shows the time spent doing certain things such as web surfing and will alert when a threshold is reached (such as excessive web surfing). It has key-logging capabilities as well and the servers themselves are Linux based appliances iirc. That's about all I can think of... We used Aristotle and a WebSense Proxy to monitor/control the environment and it seemed to be pretty effective overall. If you have specific questions ping me off list and I'll see what I can do to answer them. Like I said, I only monitored it, but I'll help where I can.
