What do you like best about Liongard?

The range of data it can pull from the various data sources is amazing.

Out of the box the integrations and inspectors matches our tech stack almost entirely.

Puts so much useful information at your finger tips and you can go back 18 months which is amazing for support and trying to determin when something happened Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

There is no way to change the data except with JMESPath which is a little limiting. Also cannot add any custom inspectors.

Currently also no way to report on changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gathering information from disparate systems and storing them all in one place. The integrations with IT Glue allow us to consolidate and report on information that would otherwise have to be done in separate reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Liongard?

If you don't have any other tools to track changes, Liongard will do that (for the most part). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Our onboarding was a disaster. We lost weeks of manhours deploying agents as Liongard reccomended, only to be told that they were discontinuing support for that agent as soon as we finished.

Support regularly takes a month or more to first respond to a ticket. If you can find what you need from other users, you're good. If it's a problem with the tool that LG needs to address, good luck.

When our salesperson left the company, we did not hear anything from our new rep until we emailed them to cancel. Then we ran into a whole new set of problems. They say we signed up for a 1-year committment after our initial 1-year contract, but they can't provide us with the signed contract. Trying to give them notice has even turned into a pain, with them making offers and bringing 3 other people into the email chain, but refusing to actually just let us cancel service.

I've never worked with an MSP vendor this disorganized, it feels like it's a dark pattern sort of thing to make it difficult to leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

We originally signed up to get change notifications for 365 and local AD accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I can think of that I feel I don't like about Liongard. If you have any issues, there's a lot of documentation you can consult and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's helping us to receive alerts for any cloud systems and servers we want, making our lives easier and it does streamline our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Liongard?

I was introduced to Liongard this past June. I had heard of it prior but never used it. The goal with using Liongard was to speed up discovery of network and system attributes as well as get insight into security lapses that were lurking under the surface of the environments to which it would be deployed. BOY did it deliver.

The learning curve isn't horrible, but it will take some weeks to fully understand the capabilities. I hightly recommend going through the Liongard training series and getting certified. It helps a lot in getting up to speed on what all it can do.

I'm currently deploying it mostly on servers, cloud services and network devices. It would be very useful to also go full out and put it on PCs, but for now the nerve central areas of our customer environments are where we are focusing collection of info from Liongard.

The setup we have currently feeds all the data collected into ITGlue so our team has updated documentation. And wow, did the details of things like servers, Active Directory, firewall configurations, etc, get a HUGE boost in visibility. We now have much higher visibility for junior members of our tech staff into the settings and configurations they would have not been able to see without accessing these devices directly. Huge time saver and we don't need to give access to admin interfaces of all this stuff to lower level staff.

Another thing I want to mention in closing is the phenomenal support I have gotten from Liongard support engineers. I have yet to have one bad experience. They are well informed, thorough AND available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

If you've got an older Windows server network you are looking to get insights into, you'll be out of luck. Liongard requires Windows 2012R2 or newer. I know, we're all supposed to have replaced these old servers by now, but they do linger and in those cases Liongard can't be used.

Another down side is the limited number of firewall brands which the Liongard agents can communicate with. So far I've used it with Sophos, Fortigate, and Sonicwall. I believe it also works with Cisco and Juniper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business case is getting deep insights into our environments and finding problems before they are exploited or turn into issues. Finding stale users, stale PCs in Active Directory, documenting way more info about all these devices into ITGlue and making all this easily accessible to our staff are the highlights of how Liongard is benefitting our organization. We're also using it as a info collecting mechanism when onboarding new clients. This gives us a huge boost in reducing the onboarding timeline vs collecting the information manually.

What do you like best about Liongard?

Liongard is most helpful for creating a Data Lake for MSPs across all of the managed platforms. This enables quick response to client inquires, viewing information about the different environments, and providing critical security controls (change detection, configuration drift, etc). Because of this, it really helps to set our clients up for success and empowers the MSP to streamline reporting and next steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

The Google Workspaces connectors are probably the biggest pain points I've had with Liongard so far; its not that it's difficult, it is just time consuming if you aren't using a parent-child relationship. The only other dislike is the lack of Jamf support and a macOS Endpoint Agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Liongard is allowing us to gain a very important overview of our clients' environments. This is empowering business decisions, and a revitalizing manual reporting processes based on inspector types. The power of the data is helping drive new automations within our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Liongard?

How incredibly easy it is to extract data from pretty much any source, it's brilliantly easy. The data source list is ever growing and if you have a piece of tech/implementation that you need to monitor it's likely already compatible, if it isn't it will be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Sometimes the web UI glitches when you're doing a bit too much or have too many filters on. I think it's likely a browser overload and not necessarily a glitch of Liongard but its stil a little annoing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to monitor SSL certificate renewals and AD/365 configurations, Firewall configurations changes and then analyse the data with workflows so that we're on top of any issues before they can be a real issue. Liongard really helps bridge that gap and also allows us to have an audit trail so there's no way for any liabilty or we can trace back to what may have happened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sean Duclaux of Liongard

Harminder,

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Liongard?

The cloud inspectors are easy to configure through existing partner relationships. The built in alerts and metrics cover most of what we want to report on and track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Writing custom metrics can take some getting used to if you are not familiar with jmespath. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Liongard gives us a change management log that we can store and refer to. This is useful if we need to find out when something happened or when a change was made. It also gives us alerts on different conditions across multiple tech products to help us monitor and maintain security settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Liongard?

The ability to automatically document our client networks has been invaluable. Not only does it give our techs confidence that what they are reading is completely up to date, but enables other departments to utilise the data to better serve our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Liongard doesn't yet cover all of the products we need, but it does cover the majority of them. Initial development of inspectors was very quick but this has slowed down a bit, it'd be great to see new inspectors coming through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an MSP it is not uncommon that documentation can quickly become out of date. Enabling Liongard to take on the automation of that documentation and then having the confidence that it is always up to date has been invaluable. We also use Liongard for presales engagements, billing, current state assessments and service reviews, all of which are much quicker than they would have been traditionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miluse Vejdani of Liongard

What do you like best about Liongard?

What I like about Liongard is the amount of information, data and metrics it can provide an MSP about their customers. It helps keep monitoring the health of their systems so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Honestly, there is nothing that I currently dislike about Liongard; the only thing I could think of is JSON coding that is used, I am more familiar with SQL, but JSON is not that difficult to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Liongard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us keep a better eye on our customers with Liongard notifications and alerting. Liongard has definitely helped us become more productive and proactive in that sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
