Product Summary

GFI LanGuard provides patch management, auditing, and security scanning across Microsoft operating systems, macOS X, and some Linux distributions. The platform enables IT teams of all sizes to manage and maintain endpoint protection across their IT network, notifying them of potential vulnerabilities and quickly resolving them through patching.

Use Cases

  • Automatic endpoint discovery:
    GFI LanGuard automatically discovers managed devices in your IT network, including laptops, mobile phones, printers, and servers.
  • Patch management:
    The software helps you identify missing patches in your web browser and third-party software and deploy the necessary patches.
  • Network security report:
    GFI LanGuard provides regular reports to demonstrate your compliance with multiple requirements such as PCI DSS and HIPAA.

Shortcomings

  • Vulnerability scanning:
    GFI Languard reviews say that the vulnerability scanner can be inaccurate when determining which software needs patching.
  • User interface:
    The platform could improve its user interface to be simpler to understand and easier to navigate.
  • Reporting:
    According to reviews, GFI Languard’s reports often have conflicting data and this feature can be difficult to configure into a presentable format.

SureMDM

Product Summary

Use Cases

    SureMDM allows users to enroll, provision, deploy, manage, and retire mobile endpoint devices.
  • Remote access:
    SureMDM features built-in remote access, which allows users to remotely connect to devices to diagnose and troubleshoot issues.

Shortcomings

  • Device enrollment issues:
    The enrollment process is complex and can be time-consuming, as users have reported that devices often fail to enroll.
  • Steep learning curve:
