I believe this is the firewall series I worked on. The machine is terrible to configure as settings aren't grouped how a normal person would expect. Settings can be poorly labeled, adding more issues/confusion to the issues. I have not had a great experience trying to get …

Chose WatchGuard XTM - Discontinued Product
While these are all great firewalls, the price of the Palo Alto and Cisco boxes were high enough to make them not a viable option. I believe that the WatchGuard is in a leauge of its own in the price point. While there are nicer offerings out there, you will need to have a much …

Again, WatchGuard is priced much lower than other vendors in its space. It may not have some of the bigger features such as Layer 7 awareness. It's more simple to manage and provides IT staff the time to work on other tasks versus time spent to create complex rule sets.

WatchGuard Technologies
WatchGuard XTM comes in different models, so you can choose the model best suited for your company size. I think it works well in small as well as very large networks. I have not used this feature, but you can create a "FireCluster" to connect member devices of the same model if you need to put multiple WatchGuard XTMs in your environment. Coming from command line, it took a little adjusting to learn which screen to use to set up the different rules. Once you understand how to set up policies, it is simple to create more. New firewall administrators would appreciate the ease of creating policies, and expert administrators should find everything they need plus extra features.

Cons
WatchGuard Technologies
  • Support can be hard to work with. While they are typically knowledgeable, there can be a language barrier. Also, most troubleshooting seems intrusive which is a problem in a production environment.
  • The throughput of the cheaper models leaves something to be desired.
  • Have had some issues running VOIP behind these, but have not been able to narrow down the issues to the phone provider or WatchGuard yet.
