WatchGuard Network Security can find a home within any new enterprise security solution - it definitely works better for smaller environments from my experience, however, I can see it scaling well with larger groups. The amount of documentation provided by WatchGuard Network Security is staggering compared to that of similar competitors, and I can near always find the answer that I'm looking for quickly and easily. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised how detailed the configurations within the Firebox allowed me to go, which has greatly increased our security structure to the rest of the world. That said, the licensing that comes alongside it may limit usability, so additional consideration to which license one should use and the associated cost may make some purchasing decisions a bit more complicated.

I have honestly not found a situation where WatchGuard was unsuitable, previously I would have said that their Gateway Wireless Controller on the Firebox was less than ideal for managing larger numbers of WAP's, however their cloud management systems now puts this functionality in the cloud and the information and control provided are far better than they used to be. Otherwise, I've deployed WatchGuard appliances in a wide variety of locations, from traditional business offices, to hotels, to a distributed SCADA network, and they've performed well everywhere.

Watchguards stand out when deployed at SMB clients where the network infrastructure is relatively straightforward and doesn't require a particularly complex implementation. There is excellent support for VLANs, Firewall ACL,s and VPNs, however, extremely complex implementations requiring a large number of rule sets are less user-friendly to implement, and lend themselves more to CLI-based devices.

Very quality hardware and system reliability, support is not the most friendly, but effective, regardless.
