"Automated Monitoring That Frees Up Time for Real Work"
5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

Liongard takes the need to monitor settings, automates it, and alerts you when needed. It covers everything from Microsoft 365 licenses and Entra Connect to SSL certificates expiring and DNS records being changed. Liongard lets you spend your time working on real problems instead of constantly monitoring things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

The only thing I wish Liongard was able to do is monitor Microsoft 365 SharePoint tenant storage as a whole instead of looking at each sites storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmatched historical data and visibility, though the setup takes serious work"
4/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

The system remembers configuration history up to 18 months back. If something stops working, engineers can easily compare the current state with last week and immediately see what has changed. I like Policy Drift Prevention. If a technician in the field deviates from the company's security policy to temporarily solve the problem (and forgets to bring it back), Liongard immediately notices it and sends an alert. Also Liongard has broad integration via Inspectors that allows it to pull data from different systems into one place .Performance is on par with competition. I like the support provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

The interface is functional, but basic and not really modern. Reports are not client-ready and look like raw technical printouts. Pricing model is not suited best for MSP-s. Hidden costs when scaling (Per Device Licensing); Liongard charges for basic things and charges extra for so-called Endpoint Inspectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Liongard"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

Alerting is easy but also (if you don't mind learning JmesPath) customizable. Liongard gathers the data and gives you alot of built-in metrics but gives you the power to write simple code to then create alerts for any of the data it pulls in. The ability to see change detections alone is worth the price of admission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

No realtime alerts, development is active but slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Growing in the Den"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

The amount of data it collects and the ease of use in reporting on that data. The ability to create your own custom metrics and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

It's great that they are innovating quickly, and continually updating the product, though it can be challenging to keep up with all the enhancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Product, but the backend Customization has a steep learning Curve"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

Liongard is excellent at Providing deep data on the devices that it can see, and tracking the changes you want / need to know about. It can cover a huge range of devices, and is highly customizable, so if the data you want is not available by default, you can probably get it in another way. The integration with our Ticketing system has been straightforward and painless.

The support team is excellent and response times are always fast. The front line support is not afraid to let you know when something is beyond what they are working on and escalate to an appropriate level to get results as fast as possible.

I am in Liongard daily looking at changes on the networks that I manage, and the long history makes tracking issues easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

While the default information is plentiful, if there is data you don't want, there is a steep learning curve in how to make your customizations. Each inspector has a different Data Print that it provides as a JSON object, and your customizations are built using JMESPath queries against them. Because of the large amount of data returned, the Data Prints are very large, so knowing what to query can be difficult

Our implementation is still not entirely complete, because some of the inspectors have very specific requirements before they work properly, and it has been very time consuming to get in place. Specifically, inspecting Child Tenants and working with the GDAPs required has not been easy.

Some of the default inspectors are not helpful. and Example is one of the changes that is tracked by default is system information on SonicWALLs. This field includes the device uptime, so it records a change on every inspection, making the metric for tracking changes significantly less valuable.

The formatting on the reports is decent, until you try to export them, at which point they become very difficult to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transformative Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

Automated documentation and continuous system visibility which proactively detect changes and reduces troubleshooting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

It takes time and patience to get the platform configured for your needs. If you have a large number of environments to manage, it can be an almost full time job to keep things dialed in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The missing link in multi tenant security management"
4/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

It connects to all my services, products and produces 1 heli-view on what is going on. This enables me to guide my customers into the world of compliancy of o so many systems where we have to adhere to.

This is one way, so security is on!

Support is very good in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

I miss the 'sexyness' of the system, though everything is there, you have to be a technician to use all aspects of the system.

luckely, as an MS(S)P we have technicians

Anyways, everything has room for improvement! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Change Management, But Needs More Vendor Coverage"
5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

Our experience with Liongard has been nothing short of exceptional. As a system automation and AI specialist, having a tool that provides real-time visibility and automated change management monitoring is crucial, and Liongard delivers on both fronts.

One of the standout moments for us was when Liongard's power change management monitoring caught a critical security breach. A privileged user change was detected, and thanks to the instant alert, we were able to take immediate action to mitigate the risk. This level of proactive security is invaluable in today’s landscape, where even a minor oversight can have major consequences.

Beyond security, Liongard has been instrumental in providing deep insights into our products and verifying license compliance across our systems. The ability to cross-check licenses and ensure they align with our records helps us maintain compliance, reduce unnecessary costs, and optimize our IT environment.

Overall, Liongard has become an essential tool in our tech stack, offering automation, visibility, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a robust, intelligent, and proactive IT operations platform, Liongard is a must-have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

While Liongard has proven to be an invaluable tool for change management monitoring and system insights, there are some areas where it could improve.

One of our main frustrations has been the lack of inspectors for certain products and vendors, particularly Nutanix and Dell networking. These are critical components of our infrastructure, and without direct integration, we’re left with gaps in visibility that we have to manually compensate for. Expanding inspector support for these and other widely used platforms would significantly enhance Liongard’s value and make it an even more comprehensive solution.

Despite this limitation, Liongard still excels in security monitoring and license verification, but broader vendor coverage would make it an undisputed leader in the space. We hope to see continued expansion in supported integrations in future updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Liongard for MSSP's."
5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

I like how easy it is to use. The reporting features are also great. You can customize some of your own reports for various clients to give you some great details needed for any changes that are also going on for your environment to aid you in you monthly billing for your clients. It is relatively easy to implement into your own environment and client environments. We have not had a need to reach out to customer support much lately because the system is fairly easy to use. We do frequently use this portal to look for changes in our client environments when any kind of issues happen. We found it relatively easy to integrate Liongard into our day to day and monthly reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

The UI has not had a lot of ease of use updating done lately. It would be great to see the UI a bit more user friendly and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeping the house safe"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Liongard?

In the support space we so often experience standards drift with the service desk team trying to resolve the end user issues and needing to sometime deviate away from our policy or standard. Liongard has allowed us to call it out so easily with our company standards and policies constantly being monitored. Any chance or deviation from our standards result in us getting an alert and a ticket in our PSA for the managers to see. Keeps everyone accountable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Liongard?

Sometimes the false positives "Nul" value changes detected by Liongard clog the service desk with useless tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
