What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is reasonably stable, and I rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I do not think it is scalable. We are a small company which is why we are using it, but I don't think we would use it if we had several hundreds of computers. Only one person is using GFI LanGuard.
How are customer service and support?
We have contacted technical support only once, and I rate them a seven out of ten. However, they were unable to solve the problem, and we were able to fix it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use Wsus to patch. We were looking for a third-party product that could scan and patch that was not a Microsoft product which was how we found GFI LanGuard. It included some vulnerability scans and port scanning.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is relatively easy, and it was not a big issue. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. It took two days to complete the setup.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not have details on the licensing costs.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution a seven out of ten. Regarding advice, I recommend reviewing other products and finding the best one that suits your needs.
