"The solution is easy to use and integrates well with other operating systems."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The most useful features of GFI LanGuard are vulnerability assessment and patching solutions."
"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 features in GFI LanGuard are patch management and vulnerability assessment."
"I like that the solution can block users from unnecessarily putting devices on the network."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"It is a very good solution. It has a good interface and is easy to use. On top of that, it is very reliable in terms of distribution as well as getting the report."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"The technical support is good."
"Patching is very effective and reporting is very good."
"Microsoft has done a good job with authentication solutions, such as single sign-on, or open authentication."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"GFI LanGuard could improve the rollback feature. 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."
"GFI LanGuard can improve by adding asset tracking."
"GFI LanGuard has some technical limitations with machines."
"When you want to uninstall software from an endpoint, sometimes it becomes very problematic."
"GFI LanGuard can improve by adding more modules, such as asset control or asset inventory."
"If GFI LanGuard had a cloud version it would be better for people that are working from home."
"There is no asset management package included."
"In terms of the monitoring, the timeframe it takes to actually report back on the compliance of a device after it has been patched is a bit too long."
"The ability to integrate MDM would be great."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
