WatchGuard Network Security Reviews

WatchGuard is in use across the whole organization which spans 6 different countries creating a wide area network using Branch Office VPNs. We use various security modules like Anti-spam, Web Filtering, IPS security, Botnet detection, etc. We have remote workers and the easy of use of VPNs let them execute their work without problem. Also, we have an external DataCenter and access it with BOVPNs, the connection was very easy to set up.

We used WatchGuard firewall hardware solution as the first line of defense for incoming and outgoing data traffic on our network in order to protect the entire organization. WatchGuard provided us with protection against intrusion and attacks from malicious endpoints, or hack attempts, and allowed us to add applications to the appliance in order to enhance security.

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.

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.

WatchGuard is our firewall to filter the network traffic. It is being used by the whole organization. Our broadband lines are directly connected to WatchGuard & we set up the policies to filter the traffic.

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.

Our contracted IT firm recommended WatchGuard for our entire organization. It has been very helpful in keeping our network secure at a reasonable price point. The best way to know a security program is working is to not have to think about it when it works quietly in the background keeping your company protected.

We are a technology firm with around 20 engineers who have access to client servers, code, and credentials. We use WatchGuard to lockdown our network and ensure that no unauthorized users gain access to our systems. We also use it to provide a VPN connection point for all users on the go to securely connect back to home base and ensure that they are as secure while traveling as they are while in the office.

WG is used as our edge UTM router at our primary, as well as satellite offices. We also use WG for our VPN appliance.

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.

The whole organization is using Watchguard Firewall Appliances. We use it for Network-Protection, Mail-Scan, and VPNs. I'm the main technician for these products.

Used across the entire organisation, at all of our 7 sites. Used for security services, WiFi, VPN, all features. The range of available security features are fully utilised. Also used to enable VPN failover for our network. Dimension is a great management/reporting tool.

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 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.

We use WatchGuard firewalls across the entire organization for all of our clients as a tool in troubleshooting but also much much more. Their Traffic Monitor tool shows real-time network traffic to help us troubleshoot connectivity, security threats, and do general monitoring. I can search in real-time the logs for username, IP address, ports, or even websites. It also shows allowed, blocked or dropped packets in real-time. No more packet captures! This is just one of their amazing tools built into their Total Security Suite stack. Another great tool for us is DNS Watch which checks DNS queries to block malicious sites and redirects those users to educational videos. DNS Watch solves the problem of users clicking on things they shouldn't and also saves us time on not having to educate the end-users on security best practices. Easy of use and their amazing tech support is the icing on the cake. I can't tell you how many times I get into other firewalls and had to dig and dig to find a setting or re-engineer the wheel to fix something simple. Everything is where it intuitively should be in my humble opinion and also their tech support rocks!

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.

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.

As an IT consultant for many organizations, deploying WatchGuard gives me the centralized control, access and reporting I need to keep my clients as secure as possible. Dimension Control allows me to centrally control all of my clients border protection devices while also providing me a global view of each endpoint through TDR and Authpoint. Their MSP tools are improving on each release.
