GFI LanGuard

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 immediately resolving them through patching. 

Competitor Use Cases:

  • Automatic endpoint discovery: GFI LanGuard automatically discovers managed devices in your IT network, including laptops, mobile phones, printers, and servers. 
  • Patch management: This software allow users to identify missing patches and deploy updates for operating systems and applications.
  • Network security report: GFI LanGuard provides regular reports to demonstrate your compliance with multiple requirements such as PCI DSS and HIPAA. 

Competitor 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.

NinjaOne

Why your peers choose us over GFI LanGuard

NinjaOne is a cloud-native endpoint management solution with a user-friendly interface that enables IT teams to access the software from anywhere, making it an excellent GFI Languard alternative. Since GFI Languard is only available on-premise, this poses an issue for businesses with remote or hybrid IT environments. GFI Languard reviews also say the platform’s interface is difficult to navigate.

One of the main complaints about GFI Languard is how the reports can be difficult to customize. On the other hand, NinjaOne makes it easy to create impactful and insightful IT reports that can be easily understood by the relevant stakeholders.

“Having everything in NinjaOne’s single pane of glass, whether it’s our antivirus or Backup, helps us maintain global security. We have a tighter security posture, we can mitigate threats in real time, and we can go into ransomware recovery if needed because we have backups available. Plus, we can pull reporting across all these systems, which enables us to better serve our customers.”

Here’s What Our Customers Say About Us

As we grew, we started looking for tools that would help us support more clients more efficiently. We wanted something that gave us more control over endpoints and systematically keep tabs on devices. We needed a tool that would notify us when something was wrong, let us customize those alerts, and help us automate tasks…What really set NinjaOne apart for us was the great design, modern technology, and the new features that come out all the time.”

Brian Roemen, Principal and CTO, Brave North Technology 

NinjaOne is incredibly easy to use, combining a fluid interface with powerful back-end features. There’s no complicated setup, or difficult to manage interface. All options and tools are clearly labeled, easy to understand, and the interface is… easy to navigate.
