Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard Network Security

WatchGuard provides one of the most complete firewall products I've used. We use their products as our primary offering to clients to secure small, medium, and large locations. These are also some of the easiest firewalls to configure and understand. We chose to use on-prem management via system manager which allows us to centrally manage, review, and monitor our firewalls.
  • A complete MFA solution to secure workstations, servers, and firewalls
  • Cloud based management
  • A subscription service that's worth our clients money and our time
  • Cloud management + on-prem sync
  • MFA for requiring domain credentials
  • Ability to turn poe on and off
  • Clients are confident in our firewall solutions
  • No compromise allows us to be confident about the solution
  • Content inspection can cause extra work to be done on our side
the WatchGuard cloud isnt as easy as the on-prem firebox managment. However, the ability to manage multiple tenants and services from one place make our job a lot easier.
WatchGuard's cloud solutions are all in one place which saves us a lot of time.
Many offering do the exact same thing as the firebox, but non of them are as easy to deploy or manage as a firebox.

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

WatchGuard + their subscription is perfect for businesses of 5-10+ employees that are looking for an all in one firewall solution. the fireboxes on their own are great for quickly securing remote locations due to the ability to quickly deploy and configure. The only instance we don't deploy WatchGuard is with a cost conscious small business.
