Which one is for you

Pick InterGuard if

  • Fits if you need web filtering and leak blocking on staff PCs and Macs
  • Makes sense if you can ask for a quote and want a self-hosted option

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, since none is shown
  • Not for you if you want to try it first, as no trial is listed
  • Too light for phones and Linux, because only desktop agents for PC and Mac are described
  • Watch out: the site footer reads 2022 and it records keystrokes and screens, so check how current it is and the law

Pick Veriato if

  • Fits if you need a record of staff activity for compliance and have 5 or more people
  • Works for security teams that want risk scores on top of activity logs

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need timesheets or billing, because it's monitoring only
  • Pricey if you add up the floor: 5 users at $18 is $90 a month
  • Not for you if you want risk scoring without a quote, as that product needs 20 users
  • Watch out: it captures keystrokes, screenshots and chats, so consent and local law need checking

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
