• Great combination of easy to configure but still maintaining a lot of in-depth features and control available if desired
• WatchGuard Cloud [is ]included on basic and total security packages to provide [a] valuable look into [an] activity that passes through the firewall. (A lot of other platforms such as Meraki you need to simply use Syslog and third-party tools to get insights and look for issues that need remediation)
• Cohesive integration with other products such as AuthPoint for MFA adds value you can't get from traditional RADIUS only integrations of other platforms.

• Steep learning curve for admins
• No packet tracer application like the ASA to test flows prior to putting in new rules, etc.
• Policy packages are all or nothing. I cannot uninstall or turn off a piece of the overall policy, it's all or nothing.

• It would be nice to have a fully functional web interface [for the] server manager. The server manager is often very slow over remote connections.
• Better support for OpenVPN server, or at least an easier way of creating tunnels using OpenVPN.
• user VPN user management is a little confusing until you understand that all users need to be created under SSL users, regardless of VPN type.
• Would be nice to have traffic statistics on traffic management objects.

• VPN has meant my users are secure even when they are not in the office, this has reduced risk when they are using public networks and home networks that IT cannot regulate.
• The increased security provided by the firewalls has enabled us to positively answer questions on customers' RFI assessments to their potential customers.
• Central Management in Dimension saves our engineers time by not having to jump onto every firewall one by one.
