GoGuardian Teacher Reviews & Product Details

Go Guardian is a great software to be able to monitor student on-line usage. You can privately message students, close tabs, take screenshots and monitor what websites they are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our district has disabled the ability to see what students are doing when not in-school on our network, which is difficult to monitor students that may be working virtually from home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoGuardian allows me to check in on my students' work but not hover over their shoulders. I can see what they are working on and make suggestions to their progress. I can also close or open their tabs to make sure they are on task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If students do not have an online window open I can not see their screens. Let's say they have an image pulled up on their screen, I won't be able to see that image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that GoGuardian was very affordable for our small private school. It also was able to handle the majority of our needs and the teachers were able to learn the interface quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoGuardian was lacking in some finer controls and settings. There were some instances where students were able to circumvent protocols set in place and teachers were not able to resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup or manage.

Good visibility for teachers over student devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Admin dashboard needs more update for better control.

It lacks account and billing cycle information hence you may miss the renewal.

Not user friendly dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Of course, I love the ability to see all of my student's screens at once, but I'm really enjoying the capability to customize each class period's list of blocked sites, restrictions, timing, etc. It's a no-brainer--any district, school, or classroom that is one-to-one MUST have GoGuardian to ensure student safety and success. Anyone in any discipline who oversees or is responsible for monitoring or communicating with multiple users via computer is doing themselves a disservice if they are not utilizing GoGuardian. I'm beyond elated that my district purchased it and has stayed with it for the past several years. Additionally, GoGuardian Teacher is easy and fun to use. Most of what I know, I learned just by "playing" with it outside of training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features are disabled and some of them allow for minimum customization. I think everyone would benefit greatly if all of the "real-time" functions could be applied to every class/course as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of GoGuardian - from setup to use, it is intuitive, easy to use, and incredibly useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little I actually dislike, but the one complaint I do have is that I wish that in teacher view mode, I could have more adjustability in screen size. Current options are 2, 4, 8, or 10 screens at a glance. I'd love to see it open to 3 as well, as sometimes 4 is still too small, and two is too large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product allows you to keep students safe and to make sure they stay on track and focused on their work. It can also help you with making sure that students are not cheating or working on other projects instead of doing what you've asked them to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be glitchy and slow to load, but that may have more to do with our school's internet than the product itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how I can schedule the times that I want go guardian to review my class. This way I can teach and check in with students after class if they are not using their time appropriately. I am also able to revise during class to send them messages if I notice right away that they are being off task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes goguardian does take too much time to load or lags a little while I am trying to see what is on the student screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love GoGuardian because I'm able to help my students and see their screens. This has been a blessing because during distance learning, I can't help them in the classroom. I feel like they're with me even though they're at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much I dislike. I wish I could have the option to take over their screen and support them that way, but I'm sure that's too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can help students stay focused on work and not get sidetracked with additional sites. I like the chat option as well. It allows the students to get an immediate response and not have to write an email. I have helped troubleshoot tech problems while watching their screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the scenes were easier to use and assign to different students in one class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
