Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is that I am able to patch third-party solutions.""It is helpful to patch and scan vulnerabilities.""This product is a great solution at a great price as long as it is only going to be used for a local area network.""I like that the solution can block users from unnecessarily putting devices on the network.""The most valuable features of GFI LanGuard are the vulnerability assessment, it provides us with substantial insight into what applications are running on the endpoint systems and what vulnerabilities are there in the running applications. The second would be the assets tracking. I'm able to see in the network whether my endpoint server is operating and if all the other IT equipment is running in the environment. Additionally, GFI LanGuard is not heavy on system resources. It gives a competitive advantage over others.""The most valuable feature of GFI LanGuard is its email spam feature.""The solution is easy to use and integrates well with other operating systems.""The initial setup was easy."

If we have installed the wrong we have had some issues with the rollback function. Additionally, more input from GFI LanGuard for the custom software push install.""The documentation on how to use this solution in a Linux environment is not clear, which is something that should be improved because it is complicated."
