InterGuard review
A broad monitoring toolkit for organizations investigating workforce activity and policy issues.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
InterGuard is employee desktop monitoring software from Awareness Technologies for organizations reviewing workforce activity and investigating potential policy or security issues. Its endpoint agent records application and program use, website history and searches, active and idle time, file activity, email and chat activity, and keystrokes. The product is suited to established organizations that need detailed records across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Citrix, and virtual desktops, rather than teams seeking only basic time tracking.
Its investigation features connect activity logs with screenshots and alerts. Administrators can capture screenshots when selected keywords are typed or viewed, for selected applications and websites, or at chosen intervals; continuous captures can be reviewed in video-style playback. Alerts can flag keywords, policy violations, and anomalous activity, while preset reports and report creation tools help organize findings. These capabilities are relevant when reviewing a specific incident, but they also make InterGuard a broad monitoring system rather than a narrow attendance tool. Organizations should consider whether this level of collection fits their workplace policies and intended use.
InterGuard offers cloud and self-hosted deployment, and the product details describe cloud-hosted, on-premises, and private-cloud options. Pricing is quote-based, with monthly or yearly options but no published amounts, so buyers need to contact sales to assess cost. Recorded data is stored for 14 days; longer retention is available for an additional fee. The vendor lists phone support. InterGuard is a fit for organizations that need detailed activity records and configurable investigation workflows across desktop environments. Buyers prioritizing transparent prices or longer included retention may want to compare alternatives before choosing.
