## Reviews

### "Fabulous and simple\!" — 5.0/5

> **Ellen** | *April 13, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Keeps my teaching time moving forward without having to worry that students are off task. I can just glance at my monitor and know instantly which student is lagging behind or possibly confused,.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing. If a computer is down for the day, it affects the class. Basically, it works great. I have to stay on top of it
> 
> It is very simple to learn even for teachers that are not computer saving. Works great and I can interact with students without calling them out.

### "GoGuardian is Great for Tracking Students" — 5.0/5

> **Julianna** | *July 16, 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that I can easily check a student's progress and chat with them. I love user-friendly software, and it's pretty easy.
> 
> **Cons**: Not everything is user-friendly, you have to click around a bit to figure out how to create scenes and such.
> 
> I love GoGuardian. Even though it's not as user-friendly as some other software, I do think it is the best tool you have to make sure students are staying on track. You can close tabs if they've gone to a game or website they aren't supposed to be on, you can chat separately with them or send an Announcement to everyone, you can create different "scenes" that block some websites but let through others. It's really a great way to let students work without you peering over their shoulders constantly.

### "Top of the Line Chromebook Monitoring Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Nathan** | *May 28, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GoGuardian provides many different features that make implementing a 1:1 Chromebook program fairly easy. The filtering solution is fairly quick and easy to learn and can work off-site. They also have Smart Alerts which notifies us when a student is doing something that could cause self-harm or is looking at pornography. Lastly, the teacher portal allows teachers to monitor and easily step in to help students stay engaged.
> 
> **Cons**: The teacher side of things could use some improvements in the way that it interacts with the Chromebooks, although this might require a different type of installation. It would be great to get a constant live snapshot of Chromebook devices rather than just the current tab.
> 
> We have had great success in our 1:1 program with GoGuardian. We have been able to reach out to families when a child was endangered, and our staff is feeling very comfortable using devices in the classroom.

### "GoGuardian Teacher" — 5.0/5

> **Jeff** | *March 17, 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GoGuardian is extremely user friendly. I sent one text to a teacher saying, go to this site and login this way. I then stopped in an hour later and she was chatting with students, setting up scenes, locking kids out of their devices. She needed no training. BUT if there is a need, they also have amazing tutorials to show how to do things.
> 
> **Cons**: Its great, but we do seem to have students that can figure out ways around it.
> 
> This tool is amazing, and most of our teachers use it.

### "I hate it a lot" — 1.0/5

> **Leilani** | *May 3, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nothing, Im a student that uses it and I really dislike go guardian.
> 
> **Cons**: It snitches on me and all my friends, It shows my history report to my teachers, It allows them to track my screen, I mean do they just not trust me anymore as a student?
