Classroom management software that helps teachers guide student activity on managed devices during lessons. Teachers can view browsing activity, organize students into groups, direct students to resources, and communicate within a class session.

Not to be confused with: GoGuardian Admin is the district filtering product; Teacher provides classroom instruction controls.

Google Sites is a general-purpose website builder included with Google Workspace that districts can use to create simple public websites, department pages, staff resources, project sites, and internal portals. It is a practical low-cost option for small districts or narrowly scoped sites when staff already work in Google’s ecosystem.

Sites makes collaborative editing and embedding Google content straightforward, but it is not a full K–12 website-management platform. Districts must supply their own information architecture, governance, accessibility review, records practices, analytics approach, domain configuration, emergency communications, and support model.

GroupLink everything HelpDesk is a ticketing and incident-management system available in hosted and on-premises configurations. Schools use it to receive support requests, route work, communicate with requesters, document resolutions, and maintain a searchable record of service activity.

The product can expand beyond basic ticketing through self-service, knowledge management, workflow, asset and configuration processes, and broader IT service-management modules. This makes it usable by technology teams as well as other district service departments.

Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is the current successor to HEAT service-management products. It centralizes incidents, requests, knowledge, service catalogs, approvals, changes, assets, and automated workflows for technology and other internal service teams.

Districts still using a HEAT-branded deployment may be operating a legacy version or an upgraded Ivanti environment. The record should identify the actual installed product before the catalog name and district relationships are converted to the successor.

iboss is a cloud-delivered security service edge and web-security platform that applies internet access, threat protection, and data controls to users and devices on or off the district network. Its K–12 offering combines CIPA-oriented filtering with malware defense, SSL inspection, reporting, and student-safety visibility.

Unlike an appliance that protects only traffic routed through a campus, iboss follows managed users and devices across locations. Districts can apply policies by identity or group, inspect encrypted traffic where authorized, block evasive threats and inappropriate content, and consolidate web-security logs for investigation.

identiMetrics is a biometric student-identification platform for K–12 schools. It replaces cards and memorized PINs with a biometric match that supplies the student's existing identifier to connected school applications, helping staff confirm identity quickly during high-volume transactions.

Schools most often use the platform with cafeteria point-of-sale, attendance, library, transportation, and other systems that already accept a student ID. Although positive identification can support campus security, identiMetrics is primarily an identity and operational-efficiency tool; districts must also evaluate consent, data minimization, retention, security, and legal requirements associated with student biometrics.

Impero Education Pro combines classroom management, device visibility, web control, and student-safety monitoring for K–12 environments. Teachers can view and guide student screens, while authorized administrators can apply internet controls, review activity, and investigate signals that a student may need support.

The listing should not imply that every Impero or former Netop product is one package. Impero Classroom, Impero Wellbeing, Impero Backdrop, and legacy offerings have distinct functions and licensing; districts should confirm the exact modules and device platforms in use.

Infoblox provides DNS, DHCP, and IP address management together with DNS-layer security and network visibility. Districts use it to operate core network addressing services, maintain authoritative records of devices and subnets, detect malicious or anomalous DNS activity, and block access to known harmful infrastructure.

Because DNS is used by nearly every district device and service, Infoblox can provide broad visibility into compromised endpoints, phishing, malware callbacks, shadow IT, and configuration problems. It complements rather than replaces endpoint protection, firewalls, identity controls, and a security operations platform.

Singlewire InformaCast is an emergency and mass-notification platform for distributing urgent information across phones, SMS, email, desktop computers, mobile apps, speakers, digital signs, collaboration tools, and other connected endpoints.

Schools use it for lockdowns, severe weather, security incidents, operational alerts, panic-button workflows, and automated notifications triggered by building or safety systems. It can contact families, but its defining function is coordinated emergency communication across people and on-campus devices rather than routine family engagement.

Infrascale provides cloud backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware-recovery services for endpoints, servers, virtual machines, and supported cloud workloads. It creates independent recovery copies and, in disaster-recovery configurations, can bring protected systems online as virtual machines when local infrastructure is unavailable.

Districts use it to protect operational continuity rather than monitor student activity or filter networks. A successful implementation requires documented recovery priorities, protected credentials, immutable or isolated copies, monitoring of failed backups, and regular tests that prove critical systems can actually be restored.

Mac identity and access software that connects local account workflows with a cloud identity provider. Jamf Connect supports authentication and password alignment so organizations can manage access to Macs with their established identity environment.

Not to be confused with: Jamf Pro and Jamf School manage devices; Jamf Connect focuses on identity and access.

Jamf Pro is an Apple-focused endpoint management platform for districts with substantial Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, and other supported Apple deployments. It helps technology teams automate enrollment, configure devices, distribute applications and updates, maintain inventory, enforce security requirements, and provide approved resources to users.

Compared with education-specific Jamf School, Jamf Pro is built for larger or more complex Apple management environments that need deeper macOS workflows, scripting, integrations, APIs, certificate-based configurations, and delegated administration. It can manage institutionally owned devices as well as supported personally owned enrollment models.

Endpoint security software for Apple environments. Jamf Protect helps IT teams detect threats, monitor security events, and respond to suspicious activity on supported devices. Features depend on platform and licensing.

Not to be confused with: Jamf Pro and Jamf School provide device management; Protect provides endpoint security.
