InterGuard review (2026): is it worth it?
Employee monitoring and insider threat detection software
Black Friday: is there a InterGuard sale?
InterGuard report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for watching staff computers and blocking data leaks
InterGuard records activity, filters websites and blocks data leaving by email or USB on Windows and Mac. The site shows no price and no trial, a footer that reads 2022, and it's a monitoring suite rather than a time tracker.
Who InterGuard is for
- 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
Who InterGuard is not for
- 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

Keep InterGuard, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of InterGuard you could make: time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 95 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. InterGuard’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is InterGuard?
InterGuard is employee monitoring software from Awareness Technologies. An agent on each PC or Mac records user activity, including screenshots, files, email, web use and keystrokes, and sends it to a web console that is either cloud-based or self-hosted. It also offers web filtering, application control and data loss prevention aimed at insider threats.
Worth knowing
- No prices, plans or free trial appear on the site pages read, so cost has to be requested from the vendor.
- The site footer reads 2022, so some pages may be older than the rest of the directory.
- Monitoring includes keystrokes and screenshots, so employee notice and local law need checking.
- A separate Chromebook product exists; desktop agents are described for PC and Mac.
Key features
- User activity recording
- Logs activity on the endpoint even off the network, with indexed search, alerts, playback and audit trails, plus screenshots and session video.
- Productivity and idle time
- Reports and alerts on how employees use their time, including application and website usage and idle time.
- Web filtering and app control
- Filters web use by URL, category or keyword on or off the network, and restricts which applications can run.
- Data loss prevention
- Blocks or reports sensitive data leaving by email, web forms or removable media, and finds sensitive files saved on local drives.
- Remote response
- Remotely delete or retrieve files, or lock down a device, in a suspected breach or when a laptop is lost.
- Cloud or self-hosted console
- Devices are managed from one web console, offered as cloud-based or self-hosted for stricter security or compliance needs.
