How Gatekeeper compares
An honest comparison with the most common alternatives. We built Gatekeeper because none of these tools gave regulated European organisations what they actually needed.
Gatekeeper vs Wazuh
Wazuh is an open-source SIEM/XDR focused on endpoint detection. Gatekeeper is a full IT operations platform that includes SIEM alongside CMDB, IPAM, ITSM, compliance, and more.
Gatekeeper vs ManageEngine
ManageEngine offers a broad suite of individual IT tools sold separately. Gatekeeper delivers all capabilities natively in one platform with one license.
Gatekeeper vs NinjaOne
NinjaOne excels at RMM and endpoint management for MSPs. Gatekeeper adds compliance automation, SIEM, CMDB, IPAM, and on-premise/air-gapped deployment.

Why teams choose Gatekeeper
One platform, one license
No module fatigue. CMDB, IPAM, ITSM, SIEM, compliance, MDM, firewall management, and AI are included in every plan. No add-on costs, no separate consoles.
Built for European compliance
NIS2, BIO, ISO 27001, CIS, and 60+ frameworks are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts bolted onto a monitoring tool.
Deploy anywhere
Cloud, on-premise, hybrid, or fully air-gapped. Your data stays where you decide, with full feature parity across all deployment models.
True multi-tenancy
Row-level security isolates every tenant. MSPs get a master account with cross-tenant visibility and per-client reporting out of the box.
