Guardian360 vs Guardz
Works alongside Guardz
Guardian360 works alongside Guardz, covering the ground that vendor leaves open. A US and Israeli MSP-exclusive suite bundling Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace posture, identity, email, endpoint and awareness in one multi-tenant console, on SentinelOne and Check Point.
What Guardz is good at
United States and Israeli MSP-exclusive platform bundling Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace posture, identity, email, endpoint and awareness in one multi-tenant console, with SentinelOne and Check Point underneath. Its EU region is chosen once at sign-up and cannot be changed without deleting the account, so an MSP with clients in two regions needs two consoles.
