(1-25 of 29)WatchGuard - ultra easy
- nothing unexpected
WatchGuard
- offers granular application control that enabled us to control which applications can access the network and how they are used.
Happy WatchGuard Firebox Customer
- We were able to recently work with support to figure out how to block QUIC protocols for a certain user group/Wifi connection via an ADUC security group and specific subnet. This helped us to disallow youtube for our general production employee access. Not sure this was truly innovate, but it was definitely unexpected that the default built-in features for blocking media streaming weren't working anymore with youtube and the watchguard tech and I had to get creative to block the traffic. We were able to accomplish it though, thankfully!
