The security of your site is a priority that must not be neglected. Many solutions exist to support your teams with both the simplest and the most complex tasks, in order to guarantee lasting, reinforced protection for your facilities.

Faced with the multitude of sites and applications offering this type of service, we have compared the most popular solutions on the market: Trackforce, Sekur, Jaguards and others. This study allows us to present their strengths and limitations, as well as the alternatives available to avoid their drawbacks. Here is our objective 2025 comparison of digital security logbook solutions for site security.

Trackforce: an all-in-one tool that drifts away from effective site protection

Trackforce’s strengths
Trackforce provides:
• Dynamic real-time mapping of security staff
• A comprehensive dashboard
• Task assignment for security teams

The tool’s limitations:
• No real-time incident traceability
• Limited communication within and between teams
• No SMS or email alerts in the event of an incident

Trackforce may appeal with its modern (if somewhat cluttered) interface, but in addition to a security logbook solution it requires a separate internal communication network alongside the tool, as it does not include any means of live communication.

Sekur: a complete solution without a clear focus on security

Although versatile and customisable, this solution does not put security first.

Sekur’s strengths
Sekur provides:
• A highly modifiable solution that can be adapted to your needs
• Real-time geolocation of your officers, with alerts in the event of a problem or irregularity
• Precisely defined patrols

The tool’s limitations:
• No direct communication between security teams, only alerts in the event of a major problem
• No secure access or firewall requirement for important or sensitive files and items on your site
• The application starts almost from scratch for each new customer, which means a lengthy implementation

Sekur has opted for a simplicity that can be adapted to every setting and environment. But like Trackforce, the solution requires an additional communication channel for teams to protect the site.
Otherwise, the logbook solution it offers is fairly complete, perhaps even too complete, as it also includes HR and supply chain modules. This may suit some companies that also need this kind of solution, but it often leads to overload: most companies looking for a computerised logbook solution to secure their site are not looking to replace or supplement their HR or supply chain functions.

Jaguards: a solution focused more on cyber than on hardware

Unlike other solutions that focus more on the field and operational management, Jaguards stands out for an approach centred on cyber and the flow of information.

Jaguards’ strengths
Jaguards provides:
• Enhanced information sharing, even allowing PDFs to be sent to law enforcement or the media
• Feedback that is listened to, so the tool can be improved with you while it is being rolled out on your premises

The tool’s limitations:
• No patrols that can be defined in advance, although employees can geolocate themselves
• A very unintuitive interface that lacks clarity and can confuse some users
• A clear lack of protection for important data, which can be shared far too easily

Jaguards should be seen more as a complete solution that also covers your site’s cyber security. The electronic logbook is an add-on to an application that is already comprehensive, and not necessarily suited to what is expected of a genuine electronic logbook for securing a site.

Feature comparison table

To make things clearer, here is a simplified table listing the main features that security teams need most. Each tool is given a ❌ or a ✅ depending on whether or not the feature is included in its solution.

Conclusion

This range of solutions shows that each vendor provides the features it considers most appropriate. These choices mean that some fall somewhat short of what a Head of Security expects when choosing an electronic logbook, while others specialise too heavily in a single area.

To reconcile all this, simply look at the table above, which highlights the main concerns of Heads of Security regarding the electronic logbook solution they would like to have at their disposal. The only one of the four applications that ticks every box is the one we have not yet presented, and it is a smart synthesis of the other three.

According to the same table, Hamilton Security is the application that best meets market demands and most deserves to be tried.
