Wide verity of scan tools to scan your network and keep track of patch management Cons The wide spectrum of scans on a large scale is slow and can get a bit overwhelming and time consuming Review Source TP Troy P. System Administrator Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Languard is what we were needing for a long time.." July 5, 2016 4.0 Languard is a great product to deploy patches throughout distributed environments. Easy interface, user friendly, nice reports, automation and scheduling of tasks, auto remediation, etc. It also serves as a scanner to check for vulnerabilities, not only software-related but miss-configurations and other things that can be mitigated. It can be used to scan everything. Pros non-stop ongoing patching and remediation, based on locations, settings. Relays can be set to distribute the load. One single pane of glass for all patch-related information. I heard new version is web based and has multiple administrators. Cons Currently one single console user at a time can use the system and will have to RDP into the server, so if you are running a task and another person logs on to the server, it will bring a duplicate session but will not work. The new version is supposed to fix this (hopefully). Also, need faster convergence on reports coming back from agents. Review Source KB Karen B. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GFI is an effective tool for patching software on the network" January 31, 2018 4.0 lots of man hours saved using this application to patch machines across the network Pros The software provides automated re-starts , patching of third party software and providing a list of users on the domain Cons reports are not the best, the next version should have the input for better reporting. It is suggested that this area be looked at. Review Source RS Rick S. AVP of IT Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GFI LanGuard" January 23, 2019 3.0 Looked great out of the box but lacked correct reporting. We moved to another SIEM because of false reporting. Pros The dashboard was great. It provides all kinds of information and setup and configuration are fairly straight forward. Cons What I didn't like was the reporting accuracy. GFI vulnerability scanner was reporting false positive vulnerabilities. We would look at a system GFI reported as requiring a patch and we would find the patch already deployed on the system. This created more work for us and caused us to chase down a lot of false positives Review Source MJ Marsha J. Engineer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It captures the information we require and assist in patching and keeping our network protected." May 11, 2017 4.0 Pros The ability to do multi patching and updates simultaneously. I like the reporting feature where you are able to generate reports and send patches to the client without interrupting work. Cons The unnual renewal and maintenance cost. This may need to be reviewed as the ability to added users are sometimes limited by this. Review Source SW Scott W. IT Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GFI LanGuard review" July 23, 2018 2.0 Visibility into endpoint patch levels and vulnerabilities. Pros Easy to navigate Quick glance tells you how your patches and vulnerabilities are Syncs with Active directory Cons Tech support is horrendous - very slow response and email only Adding more licenses after the original purchase is not cost effective Review Source KB Karen B. Desktop Support Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Tool to Patch Applications" April 15, 2017 5.0 GFI Languard is used to patch Microsoft and other third party tools. The reports generated needs to be sorted in order to be used for reporting. This feature requires improvement, but overall the tool is worth the cost. Pros automatic patching of work stations Cons Reports need tweaking Review Source JO Jacques O. Sys Admin Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "best support i have received in a long time from a company" November 16, 2017 4.0 Pros Product is easy to use once you get it going. Ampel configuration options. Wide verity of scan to scan your network from top to bottom. Cons Bit slow sometimes when you click to open certain setting. The wide spectrum of scans and of different setting can get a bit overwhelming at first. Review Source Similar Products Featured
