Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about InterGuard, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A web console, cloud or self-hosted, plus agents on each machine.
- 1
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.
- 2
It runs on 2 platforms
Windows and macOS.
- 3
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.
- 4
Productivity and idle time
Reports and alerts on how employees use their time, including application and website usage and idle time.
- 5
Web filtering and app control
Filters web use by URL, category or keyword on or off the network, and restricts which applications can run.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 98
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices or plans on the pages we read, so cost has to be requested from the vendor. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial appear on the pages we read. |
| Features | C | Activity recording, web filtering, app control, data-leak blocking and remote lock-down. No timesheets or billing. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A web console, cloud or self-hosted, plus agents on each machine. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Agents for Windows and Mac desktops only; Chromebooks need a separate product. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Companies investigating insider threats and policy violations
- Organizations that must show compliance with regulations such as HIPAA or PCI
- Managers of remote staff who want screenshots and activity reports
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved

No prices or plans on the pages we read, so cost has to be requested from the vendor.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
