WatchGuard Network Security Pricing

“Whether it's a annual maintenance cost or subscription based services, you will need to plan for an annual budget to cover the cost of whatever security / support package you select for your company. … Technical support (with a subscription) is always available and have always provided business-class professional service and support to our company.”

“Getting the hardware and subscription has simplified the process for us and is well worth the price.”

“The only downside to the WatchGuard package license is the cost if parts of the license are not being used. … The ROI has been positive both financially and from a customer's point of view, utilising the discount from being a partner, and the improved level of security and support offered to clients.”

“Being able to select basic security suite and total security suite does demonstrate value and justifies the price of each subscription that is sold.”

“Like all subscription models, becomes expensive over time Not cost-effective for small business.”

“A negative impact, and the only one worth mentioning, is that of having to license the Dimension software, as that should be included with the security suite subscription. … Meraki was relatively more expensive and SonicWall's solutions did not stack up well against the features provided by WatchGuard's Firebox appliances.”

“WatchGuard has excellent features for enterprise network security, but some are only available in higher-cost versions that deliver high security, such as IPS, BOTNET, APT Blocker, SpamBlocker, etc....”

“We have been able to include the basic UTM as part of our per user pricing because it is a great value to our clients. … Better pricing for the Total Security UTM package [would be an improvement].”

“Considering the high cost of the wireless controller, having it come free with an application is a great value The hardware is enterprise-class, rarely do we have hardware related issues. … Because of the subscription model, watchguard always provides a discount for upgrading devices once the existing device is EOL.”

“When considering a WG device and service, there is wiggle room for price negotiating with resellers, and is best/cheaper to purchase the services subscription in 3-year increments. … The security services provided with the paid subscriptions is worth it!”

“WatchGuard Network Security is less expensive than a Cisco Meraki MX solution, and allows the product to be used, albeit without additional services, after the license expiry date or the product's... … Time-saving implementation of secure networks Cost reduction through trade-up policy.”
