Chose Trellix Network Security
FireEye NX is a solid product. It gives you sustainable
security throughout the organization. NX detection engines are more capable
compared to others. Its catch rate is higher, FP rate is lower, [and] speed is
Fortinet also has impressive software but WatchGuard support has been better. MFA being integrated with Active Directory allows for ease of management through the local AD server. The aesthetics of WatchGuard Network Security with it being red allow for a nice look on the rack …
The real pluses that WatchGaurd offers is both price and usability. While some products have excelled at one, finding one that offers both has been consistently Watchguard. We have used Watchguard for 20 years now and over that time we have been able to rely on the fact that …
If my clients need a higher level of protection I go with WatchGuard do to my 20+ years of experience with WatchGuard products and the support options WG provides. I don't see me wanting to learn or implement other products.
I was not involved with the decision making for WatchGuard versus another product. However, I know WatchGuard is significantly less expensive than other brands. My overall preference would be Ubiquiti due to their continuous improvement of the product with tons of great …
WatchGuard has a slightly better and more intuitive user interface than SonicWall's OS. WatchGuard support is also better and more consistent in their answers.
WatchGuard Network Security has a more palatable licensing model and comes at a much more reasonable price for comparable security features. I find the WatchGuard Network Security firewalls in particular to be much easier to configure and manage as well. The service is top …
WatchGuard Network Security stacks up very well against them and is the preferred option due to a variety of factors. First, you have the pricing and availability to work with our preferred vendors like TD Synnex. Then, we have the ease of use that makes the product simple to …
I looked at the products and the Critical Vulnerabilities list. WatchGuard Network Security had the least Critical and Least vulnerabilities when I checked.
Watchguard certainly wins against all the above for SMBs/distributed orgs and MSPs. No "heavy" agents and easier policy troubleshooting much better MFA
WatchGuard Network Security and Fortinet are very similar. In my opinion Fortinet is a bit better, but it is more expensive. We originally went with WatchGuard Network Security due to the pricing they offered over Fortinet. They both over very similar products and neither is a …
WatchGuard is what I use exclusively now. I have removed all other firewalls. WatchGuard is easier to maintain and easier to set up, PLUS WatchGuard Tech Support is very responsive and helpful. I am very familiar with both the System Management software and the Web-based access …
Our HPE Aruba networks were very difficult to manage in our environment. They were an older generation that fell short of functionality. That is not to say that HPE Aruba is an inferior product, but WatchGuard Network Security provides a much better value overall.
Although we still use Upiquity for WiFi or internet use, we still often rely on WatchGuard Network Security. We find the two very integrable and easy to use with each other. We selected WatchGuard Network Security because it delivers enterprise-grade protection to small to …
Very comparable. Functionality is pretty much the same with some minor difference. Interfacing is slightly better on the Watchguard and overall setup and ease of use seems to be better on the watchguard suite compared to Fortinet. Product offering is also better on the …
Watchguard Network Security made it easy to add on capabilities as our need for complexity grew. If we were to start over from scratch, we may go elsewhere. But vendor inertia has favored WatchGuard Network Security and its capabilities have been satisfactory enough to prevent …
they implemented AI features to their services and devices, but they lack of options to act as a backup appliance that have less complicated functions and setup progress so WatchGuard Network Security have these as advantages
Too costly to transition compared with renewal of WatchGuard Network Security, no demand for the stacked switch options, reduced network footprint after COVID lockdown.
I think the solutions are comparable, but the cloud management piece is critical for MSPs these days. We need to be able to schedule and push out updates as soon as they are stable and ready. Insurance companies and government regulations mandate this.
It’s a dedicated Network Advanced Threat Detection and Prevention solution. Easy maintenance and low operating costs fit perfectly for SMEs. Variety of appliance selection makes NX the perfect choice for large enterprises. As it’s a dedicated solution with its own appliance, price is higher compared to NGTP add on solutions. FireEye is an ecosystem therefore when you’ve the EX or HX vice versa, you should be looking to NX. Otherwise, you’re missing the threat intel exchange on the network side reverse is the true. Sizing is important before the purchase, if you select a low end model for a busy network you lose your initial investment. For multiple NX deployments I highly recommend CMS. Without CMS you’ll lose the threat intel exchange and this will negatively reduce the risk scores.
One scenario where WatchGuard Network Security is well-suited for a task is when a site needs to be whitelisted. For example, if a site is whitelisted and hosted in a country blocked by geolocation, we can bypass the block and route traffic to the site. This is particularly helpful with CDN's.
I'm giving this note to WatchGuard Network Security due to its ease of daily support (after acquiring necessary knowledge in the solution), which allows agility in configuration changes, its integration of several reliable security features (such as SSL VPN, VPN Virtual Interfaces between companies, and others) and functional and stability in operation, with no downtime in the equipment due to problems or malfunctions
Although it might take some time to figure out, we have been able to use WatchGuard's online reference library and tech support to create/implement/modify all of our filtering rules and exceptions needed. There really has not been a shortcoming other than perhaps a learning curve.
Availability has always been a strong point of this product, it is rare that watchguard does not have a solution for customers' network monitoring needs.
The performance of WatchGuard Network Security is very good, in the years that we have used the solution we have only had a single error and Watchguard itself was able to solve it. Furthermore, when purchasing any product, the partner always evaluates the capacity of the solution to recommend the most appropriate product for our needs.
For something that is considered business critical they should be far more responsive. Security isn't something to take lightly in today's work environment and so long as its working you are happy. But when it doesn't and you need that professional assistance, they weren't always there and I ultimately resolved my issues with the help of Google.
We participate to a in person training and the three days of learning was really useful and complete to gain skill to solve the major part of the problem we encounter during our life. And more the in person training give us the opportunity to create a network with other WatchGuard partner.
I had my key information for setting up the firewall, and they assisted me in finding the settings and appropriate places to enter data. They also helped troubleshoot when I didn't understand some of their feature concepts, and we got it running.
FireEye NX is a solid product. It gives you sustainable security throughout the organization. NX detection engines are more capable compared to others. Its catch rate is higher, FP rate is lower, [and] speed is awesome. NX can work for highly regulated environments with 1 way solution. Operation costs are much lower. Software quality is very good. It may have bugs, but these bugs do not compromise the security in general. SOC team loves the FireEye NX for its pinpoint detection capabilities. Local and partner support is exceptional.
The real pluses that WatchGaurd offers is both price and usability. While some products have excelled at one, finding one that offers both has been consistently Watchguard. We have used Watchguard for 20 years now and over that time we have been able to rely on the fact that the experience gets better overtime and does not stagnate. Further, we have not had any issues with the security as opposed to products such as Fortinet.
This product is very scalable since previously everything related to Watchguard was on premises but that has now changed with the inclusion of watchguard cloud. Now the product has evolved to have full control of firewalls at the cloud level.
As [a] financial company on the digital markets, we need to be safeguard for 0days and targeted attacks. FireEye NX provides the best updated protection with its enhanced capabilities.
Security score based on detection/prevention metrics [is] very high ensuring the highest level of security.
APTs in our region successfully detected and mitigated by the NX.
For the ROI, in a six month period FireEye is paying off its [investment].
One negative thing, especially with increasing network bandwidths, [is that] you need to make [the] investment every two or three years.
