I know GoGuardian has several competitors out there like Harpara and Securly but none of them stack up to the level we have come to expect from GoGuardian.

Chose GoGuardian Admin
GoGuardian is the industry leader in this space. We have been a client for six years and have never had an issue with the product or support. We've investigated other options, but have found the feature set, ease of use, and reliability is unmatched.

Chose GoGuardian Admin
Not sure if WatchGuard has student monitoring in place yet, but they didn't when we were using them, so we needed to use another product alongside it. GoGuardian Admin is nice because it's all accessible from one single interface.

Chose GoGuardian Admin
It's the only product that combines administration, filtering, inventory management, and instructional practices at a high level. If we didn't have GoGuardian we would have to match together two or more products to do what GoGuardian does for our school.

Chose GoGuardian Admin
When we were first looking for a cloud filtering solution, there were not many competitors out there. We looked at Securly, but at the time, they did not match up. GoGuardian Admin had far more features (that would benefit us) at that time. I know there are more solutions …

Not as robust as the Google Admin Console, but has plenty of features we like, and utilize - to keep kids safe online.

User Testimonials
GoGuardian AdminSafes School
Likelihood to Recommend
GoGuardian Admin took the pressure off of IT to deal with filtering and gave control to the building admin. No longer does IT have to check if the website is appropriate or if the building principal wants to allow it. They take care of it on their own! Put ownership of internet use back on the building admin instead of IT, since it was always a classroom management problem, not a technology problem.

Cons
  • The system cannot inform our team about cyber bullying or harassment.
  • Students can still play some games if those games are loaded to a Google Site.
  • There are times when a Chromebook that hasn't been restarted in a while will not show up online. This is problematic as students do not restart as much as they should.

Does what we need it to do and more in a very cost-effective manner. Relatively easy to use and great customer support. They are quick and clear and will walk you through things in real time.

Return on Investment
  • It has allowed us to deploy thousands of devices for home and on-premises use successfully. Without this cloud filtering, we would be stuck.
  • The theft recovery piece has allowed us to get our assets back from students that have left the district or that have misused them.
