GFI LanGuard Pros and Cons

The issues of network configurations and system patches upgrading will no longer bother me as GFI LanGuard helps with it. It has the ability to scan for vulnerabilities and identify patches that are missing which help me give up the task that requires I go through logs to do the same.

The vulnerability scanning findings do not tick a full assessment according to the reports from the LanGuard, and sometimes the reports can be conflicting. Finding which devices to patch and prioritizing them appropriately is sometimes a challenging task, especially when there are a lot of cables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have use it to scan my network for vulnerabilities and automates the patch deployment which saves me much, probably because I don’t need to do that manually. It’s a rescue plan that backs me up and stops me from getting hacked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LanGuard is not very good in discovering vulnerabilities and deploying patches, it takes some time to make all reports properly, the reports are not great. Creating reports that reflect the presentable in a simple form of network security protection calls for extra work. I believe, more user-friendly reporting tools will be a great addition.

The console needs a good refresh, because looks like Windows old. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the automation the patching system offers as well as its ability to be very selective on which products can be patched and to what level. I also like to the ability to keep an eye on the full state of the machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of the product needs to be upgraded. It has a very basic feel to it without any of the visual aspects which could make navigation and understanding easier. There also tends to be problems with the service unless the server is restarted often Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the vulnerability scanning and patch management feature of GFI Languard. It is a must-have tool for patch management.

Scanning is fast and accurate. The vulnerability list is comprehensive. The software is easy to install and configure. Report generated is good and very illustrative. Over all it is a powerful tool for system and network management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trial version of the software is only for 30 days. No free version available at the time I used the software. It has a dependency on MS sql. Rather than being dependant on MS sql, GFI Languard may move to some open source alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly interface easy to install and maintain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

does not integrate with other GFI software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use and once you have it setup the way you like it you do not have to check it all the time. I put computers in different groups and I have different scan and or patching schedules setup differently depending on the group I have them in. I also like that each group can have its own relay so all the computers do not have to all hit the same server to get their updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can use updating, seems to be the same for years now, make make it more modern looking or more inline with MS 365 look? No real complaints for the actual software or its functions that I can say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This package provides a lot of information about the systems on the network and where they stand against threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This version seems to be a bit more of a system resource hog that the version we used a few years back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
