GFI LanGuard

Good for Automated patch push and network monitoring

Kommentare: GFI LanGuard using almost 6+ year, no measure issue found, service support is excellent.

Vorteile:

automatically push windows patch to clients , easy to monitor any devices. good for Vulnerability scan.

Nachteile:

need to remove port (only one or two port limite is ok ) and any service dependecy.

Languard is what we were needing for a long time..

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

This is an great network security and patch management solution for small and medium businesses

Vorteile:

Product is easy to use once you get it going. Wide verity of scan tools to scan your network and keep track of patch management

Nachteile:

The wide spectrum of scans on a large scale is slow and can get a bit overwhelming and time consuming

GFI is an effective tool for patching software on the network

Kommentare: lots of man hours saved using this application to patch machines across the network

Vorteile:

The software provides automated re-starts , patching of third party software and providing a list of users on the domain

Nachteile:

reports are not the best, the next version should have the input for better reporting. It is suggested that this area be looked at.

It captures the information we require and assist in patching and keeping our network protected.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

The unnual renewal and maintenance cost. This may need to be reviewed as the ability to added users are sometimes limited by this.
