"Guardz Makes MDR Simple with a Clean, All-in-One Portal"
5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

They make MDR simple. Many other solutions overcomplicate what companies want MDR to be. Guardz is different. They make MDR very easy to understand. Also, the ability to do security awareness training with your users all from one portal is fantastic. The fact that the portal is so clean and everything is in one place is such a great advantage to Guardz. The other feature we utilize often is the identity threat protection where it monitors our office 365 accounts for potentially nefarious login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

They could allow more configuration options from the portal and that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Cybersecurity Tool with Scope for Network Improvements"
4/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

I like that Guardz has a well-integrated platform that connects with MS365 or Google Cloud, Windows, Mac, and many other systems. This comprehensive integration gives us a well-rounded platform to help monitor and resolve cybersecurity issues. The clean interface and reporting make it an easy-to-manage platform with a dashboard that's simple to navigate. These integrations are valuable because they allow us to connect our clients' potentially exposed systems to the Guardz platform and effectively gather information about the status and situation within those environments. This enables us to quickly respond to incidents, alerting us of ongoing situations and helping us protect our clients' cybersecurity postures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

Guardz could have better network device and log ingestion integration to help monitor and protect the network itself and not just the endpoints. It currently lacks means of gathering threat data, events, and incident information from routers, switches, WiFi access points, and other network devices. By adding syslog and API injection, along with integrating automation and AI to monitor and mitigate threats at the network edge, it could add much-needed features that we currently need a separate tool to address.

"All-in-One MSP focused Cyber Security Platform that has changed how we sell and support our clients"
5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

The consolidation of multiple security layers in a single platform and dashboard, gives our engineers better visibility of threats, how the layers are interlinked and ability to see the pattern of security events.

This is a much more difficult job for them when they are using multiple point security products and different management platforms.

Price point is also a positive factor as we are not paying for multiple products.

Deployment and integration is quick with support for O365 and Google and is easy to use with a very intuitive dashboard that doesn't take long for the engineers to get up to speed.

With clients now expecting more for their Cyber Security expense, round the clock monitoring is a requirement. Using Guardz Ultimate MDR capability means we don't need to pay for expensive out of hours cover but can still offer MDR Services to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

Whilst Guardz has some great partnerships with leading technologies like email security and Endpoint Detection & response, you might not get a greater depth of features and functions for each of the security layers, that you might get if you had them as point products.

Its a compromise for a better price point and best value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Dashboard with Seamless Ticket Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

I really like how everything is organized in one place, making it easy to view and manage all aspects directly from the dashboard. The way it integrates with other platforms for ticket management is also very effective. Whenever I reach out for help, the support team is consistently helpful and friendly. When I submit a ticket, the automation feature often speeds up the process, and even if automation isn't possible, they always provide clear instructions on how to resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

Since everything is integrated, there are certain limitations if the client does not use M365 or G-Suite. You cannot enable or disable some features individually. For example, if you want to install antivirus and the client does not use one of the supported business tenants, you are unable to deploy antivirus, dark web monitoring, or any other related features.

"Guardz Delivers a Unified Security Dashboard and Meaningful Monthly Savings"
4/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

Guardz has helped give our company a single pane of glass for MDR, email security, and human awareness training. We have been using the product for a few months, and so far it has been a good transition. We were also able to save quite a bit of money each month consolidating these resources under Guardz versus having several independent solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

Moving our endpoints from the previous Sentinel One platform to the Guardz S1 platform has become quite a bit more work that we were initially led to believe. We were also told during sales calls pre-signup that Guradz would isolate a device upon detection, but up until this point that feature is not available. Hopefully that is something that will be coming soon as it was a strong selling point for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Mayer of Guardz

We are really glad the platform is delivering meaningful monthly savings and a unified view across MDR, email security, and awareness training.

On the SentinelOne migration, we hear you and may reach out to learn about how to improve.

On device isolation, this one's actually live. Our MDR team can act on detections immediately once permissions are in place.

"Perfect MSP Solution with Unified Security View"
5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

I like that Guardz fits the SMB reality and is built the way MSPs work. Deploying it through the Pax8 Marketplace made procurement licensing and rollout straightforward, especially when scaling across multiple SMB tenants. I appreciate that Guardz collapses key security signals into a single operational view, which helps my team correlate incidents without jumping between multiple consoles. This approach makes it easier to see the incident story and decide faster. I also like that it supports standardization from an MSP delivery standpoint, allowing us to establish consistent baselines across clients and adjust where needed. This translates into technician efficiency and clearer incident ownership. Guardz helps solve problems by reducing tool sprawl, shortening the time between signals and decisions, and aiding technicians to move from detection to action with context. It also makes it easier to communicate outcomes to SMB owners in plain language. The initial setup was a piece of cake, and the Guardz team was really easy, helping and adapting through the transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

The platform's still evolving, especially around real-time visibility and polish in certain views. It's not a deal breaker, but it's noticeable when using the platform daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Mayer of Guardz

Thank you, Manal. This one means a lot to us as a team. Our research consistently shows that SMBs are targeted nearly four times more often than large enterprises yet most operate without any dedicated security resource. That is the gap Guardz is built to close for MSPs. Knowing that a unified operational view is helping your team correlate incidents faster, establish consistent baselines across clients, and take clearer ownership is exactly what we set out to deliver. We are proud to be part of your stack.

"Seamless Detection and Response with Guardz"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

I find the most valuable capability of Guardz to be the integrated identity threat detection and response paired with built-in security awareness training. Being able to monitor our Office 365 accounts for anomalous or nefarious login attempts in real-time gives us an immediate shield against credential theft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

The primary drawback I run into is the rigid policy and configuration flexibility inside the management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Onboarding with Robust Security for Small Businesses"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Guardz?

I love using Guardz as our primary multi-tenant dashboard to quickly onboard clients and secure our small business clients. The absolute best capability of Guardz is the seat management, which has been effective for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guardz?

My frustration with Guardz is the presentation of the external footprint scanning tool, which consistently highlights public vulnerabilities that we as the MSP have absolutely zero operational control over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
