WatchGuard Network Security

I use WatchGuard Network Security solutions in many customers infrastructures for security, control and manage access. The products are very powerfull and simple to use. A lots of nice features were release every year. The support service is very efficient and the WatchGuard Network Security Italian Team is very helpful to give me advice for the right devices configuration.

We use it for global security and for our WAN.

Watchguard is the perimeter firewall for multiple office. I use it for Site-to-site VPN networking connecting all offices together. its used for the rare need for remote VPN access to internal resources. It is used to provide some content filtering for example porn, hacking, and other sites that are sensitive in a corporate environment. Its nice to have the ability to block access to websites based on countries helps to eliminate some of the more riskier connections outside the US.

We use the Watchguard Firebox firewall in our organization. It protects our network from intrusions with TSS, helps us to host our web server and on-prem MS Exchange servers, and also provides services for our users such as VPN access. We use multiple fireboxes at a few different locations and connect them with the Branch Office VPN feature.

Our organization is comprised of 3 campuses, one fiber connection (1GB), and two Dedicated Ethernet Circuits (MPLS). We implement three Watchguard Fireboxes (M370, M390, T35), one at each campus, with two of the campuses performing MAC filtering. Total number of devices managed is 400-450 on any given day. Watchguard's Basic Security Subscription on each Firebox along with our policies protects our servers, students, and teachers. Reliability has been 100% over the past four years. Not one lock-up. Speed is 650-850mbps at each wired device on our network. Tech support is rarely needed. That is, we may have implementation questions to complete a particular task, but not bug issues when we contact support. Tech support sometimes is instant, and other times, a few hours away. 5 1/2 Years ago we had an appliance fail, a next-day replacement was provided, and a dedicated tech got us back up and running in less than an hour. Is it the least expensive product, no. Is it the most expensive product, no. It is however the best ROI with high performance for the $. We have tried other appliances, Watchguard wins our business.

We use Watchguard firewalls with total security on all of our location. I am very satisfied with the safety and security of Watchguard firewall.

We run a T-55 at one site and a T-75 at the other. Run a standard suit of modules on each of them. I personally think the UI is really cumbersome and difficult to navigate. Often spend time trying to decipher simple things like firewall rules or routing. From experience, firewall rules also often don't work, we've had instances where a user wasn't able to access a site He/She normally could, this gets verified by IT. When we monitor traffic in the watchguard and test, the issue resolves itself. We had to disable DPI because it made things even worse. Similar issues with VPN rules, in addition to poor connection stability.

We tried to take shortcuts previously in our network management and security with your typical store bought devices. The control, security and customization options just weren't there.
