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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 …

GoGuardian
GoGuardian is excellent for any district with a 1:1 Chromebook program. Our program would not be nearly as successful without it. GoGuardian does work with other devices (Windows, iPads) but I believe some features do not work as well in those setups. We haven't tried using it for anything other than Chromebooks and I am not aware of anyone using it for iPad/Windows or Macs.

Pros
GoGuardian
  • The reporting Dashboard page gives you a great picture of what your users are doing on the internet.
  • The Theft recovery piece works very well and helps recover devices that are missing in action.

Cons
GoGuardian
  • With the new Minnesota state laws regarding student data privacy - it made it somewhat challenging for us to continue utilizing GoGuardian Admin. However, they provided some updates to their software to address these issues.
  • GoGuardian Admin recently put out an option to checkbox COPPA/CIPA compliance verifications for web filtering. It seems that this still needs some work, as several educational websites we utilize are coming up as "uncategorized" - and then are being falsely flagged and declining access.

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.
