The best security guard software, by need
Short buyer's guides for the jobs security companies buy software for: running the whole company, scheduling, patrols, incident reports, dispatch and the workforce. Every statement about another product links to that company's own website.
By the Guardix team. Facts checked November 3, 2026.
Guardix wrote this page, and Guardix is one of the products on it, so read it as a vendor's guide, not independent research. We did not test the other products hands-on. Everything about them comes from their own public websites, read on November 3, 2026, with a link next to each statement.

How we score
- Each guide picks the features that matter for one need, the rows of its table.
- A product scores one point for each row its own website documents, with a link you can open. The score is counted from the table, cell by cell; nobody typed it in.
- “Not published” scores nothing. It may mean the website does not say, not that the product lacks it: ask the company.
- Guardix's points come from our own fact sheet, checked against the Guardix app. A “No” in Guardix's column is something it does not do today.
- The score shows what is documented, not how well a product works. We did not test the other products hands-on, and we do not rank them by quality.
- Prices are shown as each company publishes them and are not scored.
