Overall, the two products are very comparable to one another. In the end, it came down to throughput vs cost. WatchGuard [Network Security] came in at around half the cost for the device that provided the amount of throughput that we needed. All of the other features were neck …
Night and day comparison. Sonicwall is clunky, outdated, lacks good reporting facilities. Network traffic management is painful. And doesn't have the extensive services provided by default by WatchGuard
Cisco is just horrible. Includes nothing as standard. Scared to touch …

SolarWinds Network Firewall Security Management vs WatchGuard Network Security. We tried to apply the other solution but it was very complicated and had many requirements to work. Unlike WatchGuard Network Security. Everything was very easy to understand and use, a very …
Compared to the meraki that I've worked with in the past, I like that I'm not paying Cisco tax and there is a lot more functionality with WG. For me, the Sophos Hardware is not hefty enough to handle their OS because the UI is so slow. Ubiquiti doesn't even compete and …
I would much prefer utilizing WatchGuard Network Security. When stacked against any Unifi product, WatchGuard Network Security is vastly superior. When compared with Meraki, I have much greater control over WatchGuard Network Security Fireboxes. When compared to fortinet or …
WatchGuard was far easier to configure that my Fortinet or Sophos, the D-Link routers are just as easy as the WatchGuard to set up since the DSR series, but do not offer the security of the WatchGuard.
The WatchGuard Network Security interface does not require command line configuration, which was not the case when I last used a Cisco ASA. The UI is very powerful and easy to use and from what we can tell has provided a similar level of security, with a lower level of …
Price mainly, Both are great products, Check Point is a better management interface with the possibility to expand/collapse a set of rules, and negate rules parameters.
Microsoft works great when users are roaming (i.e. remote workers). WatchGuard Network Security works great when in a single location (i.e. in an office).

All around appliance with attractive cost and maintenance expense. Easy setup for simple or simpler networks with limited sites and remote users. Complex network configuration could be challenging.
WatchGuard Network Security has shown me much more value than Azure Firewall to the extent that I have used it. The most prominent thing I have noticed is from the pricing perspective. WatchGuard Network Security costs for a year what Azure Firewall costs for a month. For …
We used to use Symantec Endpoint Security. We felt that when acquired by Broadcom they lost interest in small business sales and became a pain to work with. WatchGuard Network Security solutions gave us everything we liked about Symantec and a whole lot more with a better …
Generally speaking, our customers have standard requirements and the WatchGuard Network Security Firebox is there to ensure they stay protected. We've never had a successful breach on a customer's on-premise setup with a WatchGuard Network Security Firebox installed. 3rd parties (like CCTV, Printers, Login Systems, etc.) do not know which port their devices work over, so we have to identify that with them and there are often delays when this occurs.
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.
We have only had to contact them once during the initial set up to help bring the internet back on line. After that for the most part our systems have been automated, and could easily be checked form their online FAQ and Knowledge base that they provide. Everything else is easily handled from their browser based interface
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.
At 3 of my locations I use both a Sonic Wall and a watch guard. In my experience, the sonic wall has a much better interface. I feel it was much easier for someone that has never accessed a fire wall to be able to make changes and learn very quickly. I feel the Watchguard has better built in applications and the VPN was easier to use and access.
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.
The VPNs are very easy to configure, less time to loose at new implementation.
The traffic monitor can be improved, I can't see the ISO layers to do a faster diagnosis.
Having an ADDS authentication is a plus, can use it with rules and vpn for remote access. Very useful.
The dimension feature can be developed as a website + database for NGINX, Apache2, IIS, etc., I feel traped on that linux vm only.
Most of the customers doesn't like to pay for a solution like this. They will accept only after beign attacked. WatchGuard can improve the sales with a demo (hacking, active security, etc.).
