WatchGuard Network Security Reviews

Watchguard was used as a firewall appliance for our small to medium businesses we provided consulting services for. It was used at the edge of the network to provide basic and next-gen firewall services. We deployed Watchguard at our own offices, as well as our datacenter and in our customer networks.

We use WatchGuard devices in our main and satellite office with the network security enabled on both via their Total Security package. They are vital for monitoring traffic coming and going from both sites and ensuring that users are kept safe while doing their jobs and (hopefully) prevent any outages.

Currently, we utilize WatchGuard Network Security as the key component for both of our offices. We also resell and recommend WatchGuard to our clients and support approximately 50-60 deployed scenarios as the solution for network protection and security, through hardware and the integrated security such as DPI, AV, Webblocking and so much more.

We use Watchguard in all our offices in the US. First as a BOVPN network to connect to all resources at are 2 server racks at 2 locations. Then we use it to protect against unwanted access and attacks. We use the virus scanning and webblocker features for this purpose.

We deploy WatchGaurd solutions to many of the customers we manage and monitor, from end to end, for their network infrastructure. The single-pane glass of management via the web portal is a priceless feature, which makes troubleshooting issues a lot easier.

I am using WatchGuard as the firewall to my network. It also manages my VPN. It has made it easy for my users to remote in.

It is currently being used across the entire organization. We have the reporting feature that is set up. We also have the policies on the firewall set up. The business problem that it addresses is making sure that our network is safe and secure. We have reporting to verify what is happening in our network. Also, it can limit the network bandwidth per user as well as show where users transverse on the network and in the Internet. That way we can do things like be proactive with helping them if they click on the wrong websites that might exploit their computer.

We use WatchGuard Network Security both internally and for corporate clients. The range of security services, product range, configuration flexibility and ROI makes WatchGuard an outstanding choice.

We are using it currently in our own organization as our primary firewall, wireless, and VPN solution. We are also using them for some of our clients with managed services.

Our WatchGuard firewall is our trusted barrier between us and the outside world. I like the features that help keep us safe from ransomware. The webpage blocking features are nice to keep people from downloading from untrusted sites but those sites can be added to the whitelist. I really like the VPN features, and they allow me to add VPN users with ease.

We work with Watchguard because we wanted to partner with a security company that could give our customers peace of mind. Watchguard has provided us with a solution that we can use.

We use it as our go to for firewall protection at our company and across 99% of our clients. This addresses network security.

We are a partner with WatchGuard because we have used other solutions in the past and have settled on what we consider to be the best security appliance on the market. WatchGuard helps business owners not only manage their network but also manage their employee usage making for a more profitable environment.

WatchGuard Network Security is used by our organization to secure the network perimeter. It's also used as a Zero Trust tool to limit both internal and external access to required resources by using ACLs, policies, etc.
It's used by our entire organization, and we use the full suite of next generation security, including Intrusion Prevention, Gateway and Intelligent AV, Data Loss Prevention (compliance for PCI & HIPAA), Threat Detection and Response, Web-blocker/content filter, etc.

Currently, we deploy WatchGuard Network security devices in order to help secure both the external and internal perimeter of our customer's networks. The appliances offer many modern features such as Advanced Thread Protection (ATP), Spam / Antivirus, Website blocking / reporting and VPN services. The firewalls can also act as a wireless controller for the WatchGuard wireless access points. We have successfully deploy several of these with great success.

We deployed WatchGuard Network Security to many of our customers to better protect their perimeter network. It allows better visibility and greater security.

It is used across the organization at various locations as a security layer and for branch connectivity. It addresses compliance and data security as well as providing secure, easily configured and managed connectivity solutions for all of our users at various locations.

As a reseller of the product, I have many clients using various Watchguard products including schools, businesses, non-profit organizations, etc. We use the units for branch office VPN tunnel connections, geolocation to prevent workstations from going to sites in various other countries they shouldn't be going to. The proxy services are very strong and useful. Web blocker features are also particularly useful to prevent users from going to unauthorized categorized sites.

We use Watchguard Total Security Solution in our office. It provides our network with perimeter security that is always constant and vigilant in keeping intruders out of our network. We don't have to worry about the perimeter- and are always protected. The fact that it is a subscription service and always updated, means that we do not have to worry about threats we don't know about - Watchguard does it for us and keeps us safe.

We use it in our own company and we recommend WatchGuard to other businesses to help protect their network infrastructure.

We utilize WatchGuard equipment and their Security Suites in our main office, as well as deploying it on-site for all of our IT customers. Our primary role is working with criminal justice agencies, and WatchGuard products serve many of the appropriate needs. Their firewalls are FIPS 140-2 compliant and offer a full range of services that will maintain compliance with federal CJIS and state policies regarding the access and transmission of criminal justice information (CJI).

Their assortment of proxy policies and security services ensure that our criminal justice networks are safe, secure, and controlled. They utilize multiple layers of threat detection to protect their critical/sensitive data. And with many criminal justice networks requiring two-factor authentication for mobile devices, WatchGuard now offers their integrated AuthPoint service, which can easily provide this service to agencies without requiring them to invest in third-party tokens/services to make it happen.

As a network security architect, it is my job to design NIST SP-800 cybersecurity framework hardened network layer security solutions. These strategies are combined with a comprehensive cybersecurity kill chain plan inclusive of email, network, phone, printer, cloud, server, and endpoint layered defense strategies. As part of the design decision, technologies that consistently have extremely high efficacy while having a low TCO are absolutely essential for this solution to be manageable, effective, and affordable. WatchGuard has been our choice for network layer protection for more than 10 years. We also use their endpoint protection agent technologies and authentication solutions. In doing so, we have been able to deliver high levels of security effectiveness at an affordable price to organizations ranging from one user to 500 users.
